A new book by GQ writer Brett Martin called “Difficult Men” tells the behind-the-scenes story of the new “golden age” of television. You know the shows that make up this new golden age: “The Sopranos, “Breaking Bad,” “Mad Men,” “The Wire,” “Deadwood,” and several others.
Here are a few things you didn't know about this new golden age.
1. After the pilot of "The Sopranos" was made, creator David Chase was kind of hoping that HBO wouldn't pick it up. Chase was hoping instead that HBO would just give him the cash to turn it into a feature-length film. Chase always hated TV and wished he had been a filmmaker instead.
