Book Synopsis
“A read so riveting, it's not hard to imagine watching it unfold on Sunday nights.” —The Associated Press

“An incisive account that is more than a rosy victory lap for one of TV’s most influential channels.” —Eric Deggans, NPR’s “Books We Love”

“It’s Not TV proves to be a lively companion to all these shows.” —Andrew O’Hagan, The New York Review of Books

The inside story of HBO, the start-up company that reinvented television—by two veteran media reporters

HBO changed how stories could be told on TV. The Sopranos, Sex and the City, The Wire, Game of Thrones. The network’s meteoric rise heralded the second golden age of television with serialized shows that examined and reflected American anxieties, fears, and secret passions through complicated characters who were flawed and often unlikable.
