On Thursday, I mentioned Brett Martin's Difficult Men: Behind the Scenes of Creative Revolution: From The Sopranos and The Wire to Mad Men and Breaking Bad. While the title is mouthful, Martin, a Beard Journalism Award winning writer, offers a thorough analysis of the rise of the anti-hero in groundbreaking TV in what he calls the third-golden age of television. Martin covers many of the shows we are discussing in this class, focusing especially on the innovative and original TV programs produced by HBO, FX, and AMC.
