But at the same time, it illustrates that the idea of a division between ‘traditionally published’ and ‘self-published’ is becoming a ridiculous construct with no meaning whatsoever. To some extent, this might just be reviewers reviewing another reviewer, a little bit of moral support from your friends, except Sepinwall’s friends have very big megaphones. This is its own thing (though the two editions will share an ISBN number, which we’ll get back to momentarily).Sepinwall got the kind of coverage that most traditionally published authors can only dream of. If I bought the book before as an ebook, do I get the new stuff as a free update? Along the way, I talk about shows like “Game of Thrones,” “Louie,” “True Detective,” and “Transparent” and where they fit into this radically changed landscape. Not as the subjects of their own chapters, but there’s a new epilogue that looks at all the changes that have swept across the TV business in the three years since the book was first published.
So those chapters have been heavily rewritten – including not only a ton of new stuff about the ends of each show (several thousand words on “Ozymandias” alone), but more material about the early days of both series (Vince Gilligan, for instance, finally told me how he would’ve ended “Breaking Bad ” season 1 if the writers strike hadn’t happened) – along with smaller revisions to many other chapters (to use two examples, I address David Chase’s recent comments on what did or didn’t happen at the end of “The Sopranos,” and write a bit about “24: Live Another Day”). In a few weeks, a new edition is being released, and since I’ve been getting a lot of questions about it, I figured the easiest way to answer would be right here:īecause “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad” weren’t completed entities at the time the original “Revolution Was Televised” was released, my plan was always to revisit the book once both were off the air. Three years ago, I published my second book, “The Revolution Was Televised,” a look at 12 drama series – “Oz,” “The Sopranos,” “The Wire,” “Deadwood,” “The Shield,” “Lost,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “24,” “Battlestar Galactica,” “Friday Night Lights,” “Mad Men,” and “Breaking Bad” – that helped define the landscape of TV’s new Golden Age. 1, so I’ve updated it with ordering information for various sites.)
