  • Influence isn't just about making a name for yourself. It's about making a statement. On that score, TV writer and producer David Simon is second to none. Simon is best known for creating the HBO hit "The Wire," which ran for five critically-acclaimed seasons in the mid-2000s. His other shows include "Treme," "Show Me a Hero," and most recently, "The Deuce," starring James Franco and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
    Simon won an Emmy in 2000 and has been nominated for many more since. He's here to talk about how streaming has rocked the television industry and how to use your work and life to say things that matter.

    David Simon is a very talented guy
    The way him and his crew are creating the worlds and characters, and telling the stories is amazing.
    They allways choose very interesting topics.
    Shows are so honest, very humanistic, they never judge or demonize their characters.
    Awesome stuff.

    I loved The Corner but my goodness the plot against America is so gross, such a caricature, a shame.

    There's really not that many good shows on Netflix. Most of them just feel like a bludgeon for whatever sociopolitical agenda that particular production is going for.

    I loved The Wire but the subject matter in The Deuce didn't Interest me. Pornagraphy. Maybe I'll give it another shot now that I know thematically what the intent is. As for his comments about Baltimore it's not just the city but the whole state of Maryland is curiously drug infested. I know first hand from having worked in city briefly and living in a neighboring state. From Elton MD in Cecil County in the north all the way down to Salisbury and the shore communities. You see addicts everywhere.

      Well that’s the juice ain’t it? Drug use and the alteration of ones mind state is a tale as old as time. Since man first licked a toad and realized what it did to him people been getting fucked up one way or another. How do you solve a problem that exists in DNA?
      It ain’t to criminalize it but to tackle the issue. Clearly our methods aren’t working.

    20:00 what they choose to police is meaningless. This simple vulgarities or obscenities or mere sarcasm that they’ll case and rundown mean nothing. But slandering is fair comment

      He's been impeached TWICE now, and he's no longer the president.

    It's sad that David Simon actually believes that random internet trolls are Russian bots. I mean, Jesus.

    Simon sees too much through the lens of pos-industrial economic stratification. LA and San Fran are terrible examples for what he was saying. That they were recession proof and therefore lacked problems of other major cities lol New York only one with low crime and recognizing that is a big nod to Gulliani

    Simon - “we’re in the late stage of empire” “ an empire in decline” hates imperialism by his own words, supports Hillary “we came we saw he died” Clinton. Simons artwork is better than his political punditry.
