Creative Management Lessons From The Difficult Men Who Changed Television

Co.Create: Creativity \ Culture \ Commerce: In his new book Difficult Men: Behind the Scenes of a Creative Revolution, GQ correspondent Brett Martin gives us a dishy history of the transformation of the TV drama. Martin’s title has two senses. The cover depicts Breaking Bad’s Walter White along with The Sopranos’ eponymous Tony, and it’s clear that the revolution that occurred at HBO, AMC, and other networks starred “difficult men” like these: the gangsters and drug dealers and murderers who were somehow lovable enough for us to follow them through six or seven seasons.
