David Milch Brings Last of the Ninth to HBO

Source:  The Hollywood Reporter
David Milch is gearing up to produce his fifth drama pilot for HBO in the last five years. According to The Hollywood Reporter, this one is entitled Last of the Ninth.

The series will return Milch to his gritty NYPD Blue roots. The show is said to be set at a New York Police Department in 1972. Milch stated, "It is about an older detective's mentoring of a young detective returned from Vietnam in a department fiscally crippled, under attack by revolutionaries, and which has been brought by allegations of systemic corruption into public disrepute."

The show will begin production after the end of the current writers' strike.

David Milch is IMHO the most brilliant TV writer of his time. Having grown up in NJ during the 1970's, I can tell you that my own memories of NYC news TV during this time support how the setting allows for a depiction of moral ambiguity, i.e., how bad people can do good things out of necessity(i.e., cops in general, and corrupt cops specifically), ala "The Shield" blended with holdover elements of noir detective stories... This is the Watergate era, wherein our (American's) whole view of authority went awry, but preceded the helpless panic of the Son of Sam... I'm just blabbering...

Blah blah blah, yet another crimes drama, maybe if this one fails he could write a medical drama, and if that fails he could do his own reality series. BORING

Awesome. Can't wait. Even though they dropped the ball on Deadwood....maybe they can give Milch a home to actually live in for a while!
