Title: The wire, Deadwood, Homicide, and NYPD blue
Description: Those who enjoy television police and crime series or cable network dramas are likely familiar with these shows. But what they may not realize is these engaging and often shockingly candid shows are all based on the vision of two writers--David Milch and David Simon. This is the most comprehensive text yet written about Milch and Simon, and documents how television dramas of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s mirrored American culture with unprecedented sociological accuracy. The book also examines the full range of Milch's and Simon's authorial careers.
