Difficult Men: Behind the Scenes of a Creative Revolution: From The Sopranos and The Wire to Mad Men and Breaking Bad by Brett Martin

4.0

---

I don't get putting The Shield in the same pantheon with The Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood, Breaking Bad, and Mad Men. Doesn't matter that it might have preceded some of those great shows. FX shows are pretty much all facsimile‎s of other great shows.

That said, the background on these great shows makes this book worthy of a read. Plenty to skim, but the good stuff is very good.
