Those who enjoy television police and crime series or cable network dramas are likely familiar with Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue, Deadwood, The Wire, and Homicide: Life on the Street. 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.

David Milch and David Simon are two of the most prolific and successful television drama writers in the last 30 years. These talented writers have combined neal-world knowledge, with wild imaginations and understanding of the human psyche to create riveting shows with reallstic environments and storylines. Milch and Simon`s writing has resulted in television series that have enrned both critical acclaim and millions of viewers.

The Wire, Deadwood, Homicide and NYPD Blue: Violence is Power is the most comprehensive text yet written about Milch and Simon and documents how television dramas of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s mirrared American culture with unprecendented sociological accuracy. The author explains how both individuals are not only capable dramatists, but also insightful cultural critics. This book also examines the full range of Milch`s and Simon`s authorial careers, including Milch`s books, True Blue: The Real Stories behind NYPD Blue and Deadwood: Tales of the Black Hills and Simon`s Homicide: A Year on the Killng Streets and The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood.
