When reading this book, I had to first come to terms with the fact that this was not a text with any pointed message. It does not try to make much of an argument. The book is just a peek into the process and people behind the great shows of the last decade. And if that appeals to you, this is definitely worth a quick read. I want to stress again that there's not much of an argument being made, so by extension, there's not a whole lot of structure to the book either. It moves chronologically, but Brett Martin clearly had either a personal bias toward or a shit-ton more connections with The Sopranos. I'd guess at least half the book is just about David Chase, his room, the influence of his show, etc. Another 15-20% pays due lip service to The Wire. The rest is kind of slapped together with whatever was available until we end on pretty much a day in the room with Breaking Bad and a pretty thin epilogue.
