Binge watching: From Twin Peaks to House of Cards: television as an
art form Their names are Walter White, Tony Soprano, and Don
Draper, and they are the heroes of a new age of entertainment. In
the last decade, shows like Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, and Mad Men
have toppled cinema from its leading position in the universe of
popular culture. Proclaiming their ambition to tear down the
barriers set up around commercial television for too many decades,
networks such as HBO, AMC, and ABC have launched a new era of
cinematic narrative. Cable TV networks, DVDs, and the Internet have
ushered in new ways to watch television and spawned global fan
communities who, independently of programs and broadcasting
schedules, devour episode after episode, season after season, and
probe the multiple levels of meaning of their favorite series.
Thanks to these expertly-produced shows, we can plunge into the
offices of a 1960s advertising agency, follow the day-to-day
dealings of a Mafia clan in New Jersey, or shadow elite soldiers
suspected of being terrorists. Alongside a wealth of TV stills,
this book presents an overview of the most important and successful
series of recent years. Who were the trendsetters of this TV
revolution? Who were its forerunners? What inspired the creators?
What sparked the boom that has already produced dozens of top-rated
series and shows no sign of slowing down? The book offers readers
fascinating insights into the worlds of their favorite series and
inspires them to discover new ones. All of the facts are here about
authors and actors, influences and backgrounds, sequels and
spin-offs from David Lynch s groundbreaking masterpiece Twin Peaks
and milestones such as Oz, Lost, and Breaking Bad to current
highlights like Game of Thrones and House of Cards."
