In the Village Voice, Joy Press explores the work of indie filmmakers on cable television dramas:
It's a great time to be a couch potato—if you have cable, that is. Why pay for a movie ticket and popcorn when you can stay at home and watch strikingly original, beautifully filmed drama, directed by some of the country's most talented independent filmmakers, on your very own TV set? While the networks wallow in reality-TV and makeover pablum, the "highbrow" end of the medium—HBO, Showtime, etc.—has remade itself as the natural habitat for drama that's as inventive and daring as many films.
