Don't forget to check out Generation Kill, which was co-written with Ed Burns with whom he also worked on The Wire and The Corner.
- bmelton 9y agoI've seen Generation Kill multiple times, and regard it as exceptional, though I wasn't aware of Simon's involvement.
- mercer 9y agoSimon is all over that. i knew before I watched it, and while it's nothing like The Wire, it feels similarly honest. The best criticism of the show I've found (and I really look for that type of stuff) mostly seems to be relatively benign. If someone can direct me to more substantial disagreement, I'd love to know. But so far I've been a little surprised at how little has been written against the depiction of Generation Killl.
