Simon said that he was impressed by Overmeyer's writing work, especially in summarizing the story for The Margin of Error, as the episode is the pinnacle of the show's political storyline, but should also develop other storylines. As a member of the fourth season's writing staff, Overmeyer has been identified as controlling Jimmy McNulty's inner storyline and “cleverly articulating” some of his key scenes. Overmeyer left the team at the end of the fourth season. Overmeyer collaborated with Simon again on the HBO drama series Trimay.
