The Revolution Was Televised: The Cops, Crooks, Slingers and Slayers Who Changed TV Drama Forever
"Mr. Sepinwall's book, which was self-published, has all the immediacy and attention to detail that has won his blog so many followers (including this one). It also stands as a spirited and insightful cultural history."-The New York Times"So when I picked up Alan's terrific new self-published book,The Revolution Was Televised--by which I mean, when I downloaded it onto my phone and scrolled nonstop for two days--I knew it would be good. And it is: the book is a smart and substantive walk through the past fifteen years of television drama, making a lucid case for the auteurist mentality among modern showrunners." -The New Yorker"Sepinwall is a sharp and prolific critic in his own right. InRevolution, though, he admirably often stands back and lets his subjects' words speak for themselves. But then he stitches the narrative together with insights that will make you see anew just how aFriday Night LightsorBuffyseason truly worked, while tossing off the kind of dead-on descriptions that make his blog a blast to read." -Time
