A phenomenal account, newly updated, of how twelve innovative television dramas transformed the medium and the culture at large, featuring Sepinwall's take on the finales of Mad Men and Breaking Bad.
In The Revolution Was Televised, celebrated TV critic Alan Sepinwall chronicles the remarkable transformation of the small screen over the past fifteen years. Focusing on twelve innovative television dramas that changed the medium and the culture at large forever, including The Sopranos, Oz, The Wire, Deadwood, The Shield, Lost, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 24, Battlestar Galactica, Friday Night Lights, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad, Sepinwall weaves his trademark incisive criticism with highly entertaining reporting about the real-life characters and conflicts behind the scenes.

Drawing on interviews with writers David Chase, David Simon, David Milch, Joel Surnow and Howard Gordon, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, and Vince Gilligan, among others, along with the network executives responsible for green-lighting these groundbreaking shows, The Revolution Was Televised is the story of a new golden age in TV, one that's as rich with drama and thrills as the very shows themselves.

      Sepinwall delves into the world of cable television to highlight the game-changing programs of the last 15 years that have revolutionized in home entertainment. From Oz and the Sopranos to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Mad Men, Sepinwall waxes poetic about what made these shows powerful, popular, and potent game-changers for television. The author also discussed the history of the television technology and the business side of the industry, and the way these factors also usher in change. Joe Ochman offers ups a solid performance. He ably delivers dialogue and captures the clear enthusiasm that Sepinwall has for his subject matter. However, the audio edition suffers from some jarring transitions that may be the result of poor editingâand this may take some out of the listening experience. A Touchstone paperback.
