Watching television need not be a passive activity or simply for
entertainment purposes. Television can be the site of important
identity work and moral reflection. Audiences can learn about
themselves, what matters to them, and how to relate to others by
thinking about the implicit and explicit moral messages in the
shows they watch. Better Living through TV: Contemporary TV and
Moral Identity Formation analyzes the possibility of identifying
and adopting moral values from television shows that aired during
the latest Golden Era of television and Peak TV. The diversity of
shows and approaches to moral becoming demonstrate how television
during these eras took advantage of new technologies to become more
film-like in both production quality and content. The increased
depth of characterization and explosion of content across streaming
and broadcast channels gave viewers a diversity of worlds and moral
values to explore. The possibility of finding a moral in the
stories told on popular shows such as The Sopranos, Breaking Bad,
The Wire, and The Good Place, as well as lesser known shows such as
Letterkenny and The Unicorn, are explored in a way that centers
television viewing as a site for moral identity formation.
