I mean, some of them were, of course, but my only point is that I want readers to understand that so at the end of the book they have a 360-degree understanding about all things HBO.ĭEADLINE: So, getting into that dirty laundry, on either side of the camera, what surprised you in your clearly extensive research?
They didn’t hang out their dirty laundry.Ī lot of these battles that I’m documenting in the book now really weren’t covered. I’m not saying that people in the industry didn’t cover some of the discord that was going on inside the company, but I think they did a very good job and they’re proud of it of keeping a lot of that under water. One of the things that HBO did very well throughout its existence is it was kind of an iceberg, right? If there was controversy it was sometimes about something going on with some of their shows or maybe two actors not liking each other or there was an early cancellation or whatever. MILLER: Well, for so much of its history HBO just did a great job of managing its image. What attracted you to the notion of doing a deep dive on the premium cabler as opposed to say Netflix? DEADLINE: Saturday Night Live, ESPN and CAA and now HBO are on your bookshelf.
