A comprehensive and sustained analysis of the development of
storytelling for television Over the past two decades, new
technologies, changing viewer practices, and the proliferation of
genres and channels has transformed American television. One of the
most notable impacts of these shifts is the emergence of highly
complex and elaborate forms of serial narrative, resulting in a
robust period of formal experimentation and risky programming
rarely seen in a medium that is typically viewed as formulaic and
convention bound. Complex TV offers a sustained analysis of the
poetics of television narrative, focusing on how storytelling has
changed in recent years and how viewers make sense of these
innovations. Through close analyses of key programs, including The
Wire, Lost, Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, Veronica Mars, Curb Your
Enthusiasm, and Mad Men the book traces the emergence of this
narrative mode, focusing on issues such as viewer comprehension,
transmedia storytelling, serial authorship, character change, and
cultural evaluation. Developing a television-specific set of
narrative theories, Complex TV argues that television is the most
vital and important storytelling medium of our time.
