The 10th anniversary edition, now with a new preface by the author

"A wonderfully smart, lively, and culturally astute survey." - The New York Times Book Review

"Grand entertainment...fascinating for anyone curious about the perplexing miracles of how great television comes to be." - The Wall Street Journal

"I love this book...It's the kind of thing I wish I'd been able to read in film school, back before such books existed." - Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad and co-creator of Better Call Saul

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the landscape of television began an unprecedented transformation. While the networks continued to chase the lowest common denominator, a wave of new shows on cable channels dramatically stretched television's narrative inventiveness, emotional resonance, and creative ambition. Combining deep reportage with critical analysis and historical context, Brett Martin recounts the rise and inner workings of this artistic watershed - a golden age of TV that continues to transform America's cultural landscape. Difficult Men features extensive interviews with all the major players - including David Chase (The Sopranos), David Simon and Ed Burns (The Wire), David Milch (NYPD Blue, Deadwood), Alan Ball (Six Feet Under), and Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) - and reveals how television became a truly significant and influential part of our culture.

Great toothpaste.
Size: Pack of 1, 4 Ounce, Set name: B. Whitening
This is by far really great toothpaste. I can tell the difference in the color of my teeth. And sometimes my teeth are kinda sensitive to harsh toothpaste. But this is good for sensitive teeth. And minty flavor is not to strong either. Try it. I hope it works for you as well as It does for me. 🤗

Gentle and Pleasant to Use
Size: Pack of 2, 1.3 Ounce, Set name: A. Ela Mint
This toothpaste feels gentle on sensitive teeth and has a clean, refreshing taste without being too strong. The texture is smooth, and it leaves my mouth feeling fresh after brushing. I also like that it uses nano hydroxyapatite instead of fluoride, which makes it an interesting alternative to traditional toothpaste. Overall, a good toothpaste for sensitive teeth and daily use.

Good product
I got these are way nicer then they look on here. So far they are holding up well. I keep my soap in it, it is not too hard but not too soft. I feel clean after I used it. Unfortunately, it comes wrapped in plastic, not individually but in just one plastic case. Trying to stay away from plastic but other than that works fine

Thrilled with this eco-friendly product
This product is one of my favorite Amazon purchases because they are reasonably priced, plastic free, all natural, and they work great! Initially I was concerned they would be too rough on my sensitive skin, but I find their texture to be the perfect balance of exfoliating and cleansing with a nice lather. I’ll never use a plastic loofah puff again! I highly recommend switching to sisal and bar soap. This product made the transition quite easy. 5 stars all the way!
