Description
Clive James offers an insightful analysis of serial TV drama and its impact on modern society. Since serving as television columnist for the London Observer from 1972 to 1982, James has witnessed a radical change in content, format, and programming, and in the manner in which TV is watched. He examines this unique cultural revolution, providing a brilliant and entertaining analysis of many notable serial dramas, including Breaking Bad, The West Wing, Mad Men, and The Sopranos, as well as comedy 30 Rock. James explores a television landscape expanded by cable and broadband, profoundly altered by the advent of Netflix, online marketplaces, and other platforms that have ushered in a golden age of binge-watching. With intelligence and wit, James provides a thought-provoking analysis of the medium's most notable accomplishments and their subtle yet significant impact on modern society.
