Series, a long-running series, as opposed to writing a movie or a play, is that the scope is so much bigger. >> in a way, its superior to film. i mean, how much can you learn about a character in two hours of a movie? its the difference between a well-written novel and a well-written short story. >> the homicide is the show in which i learned to write television. and i learned it at the foot of tom fontana. tom is a playwright. and the guys working for him were either playwrights or television w...

It is one of those shows you go like, ugh. >> early on in the show people who were watching it would approach me and say that they kind of felt guilty about the fact that they liked the show. >> god knows i have written a lot of serial killers in my time but i have never asked the audience to believe in the triumph 0 a serial killer. >> theres nothing wrong with depicting violence, its part of the human condition. i understand the tongue in the cheek and its an inside-out show but frankly as wel...

But when you go to the element of the guns, what it does is it sucks all the air out of the room to deal with the underlying major issue, which is the human condition that drives this issue. just as one example, mayo clinic says 70% of people in america are on a prescription drug. opioids and antidepressants being the majority of them. over 50% of americans are on at least two prescription drugs, the things that we never discuss, which is the nature of what would push someone over a ledge like t...
