This book explores the relatively new genre of 'Quality
Telefantasy' and how it has broadened TV taste cultures by
legitimating and mainstreaming fantastical content. It also shows
how the rising popularity of this genre marks a distinct and
significant development in what kinds of TV are culturally dominant
and critically regarded. By expanding and building on the
definition of US Quality TV, this book brings together a number of
popular science fiction, fantasy and horror TV series, including
Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead and Westworld, as case studies
which demonstrate the emergence of the Quality Telefantasy genre.
It looks at the role of technology, including internet recap
culture and subscription video on demand distribution, in Quality
Telefantasy's swift emergence, and analyses its success
internationally by considering series created outside the US like
Kingdom (South Korea, Netflix) and Dark (Germany, Netflix). The
book argues that Quality Telefantasy series should be considered a
part of the larger Quality TV super-genre, and that the impact they
are having on the global TV landscape warrants further
investigation as it continues to evolve. This is a valuable text
for students and scholars studying or undertaking research in the
areas of television studies, new media and pop-cultural studies.
