Without a Net: Creating NYPD Blue

2001 · 66 min · Documentary

Documents David Milch’s last season on NYPD Blue, the award-winning television show he co-created, wrote and produced for seven seasons. As physical and creative exhaustion set in Milch wrestles with his muse to write episodes as they’re being shot. This struggle forces the cast and crew to add a flexibility to the already rigorous demands of production; in a process described as “getting Milched”.
