In past decades portrayals of mental illness on television were
limited to psychotic criminals or comical sidekicks. As public
awareness of mental illness has increased so too have its
depictions on the small screen. A gradual transition from
stereotypes towards more nuanced representations has seen a wide
range of lead characters with mental health disorders, including
schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, OCD, autism spectrum disorder,
dissociative identity disorder, anxiety, depression and PTSD. But
what are these portrayals saying about mental health and how
closely do they align with real-life experiences? Drawing on
interviews with people living with mental illness, this book traces
these shifts, placing on-screen depictions in context and
demonstrating their real world impacts.

Remakes are pervasive in today's popular culture, whether they take
the form of reboots, "re-imaginings," or overly familiar sequels.
Television remakes have proven popular with producers and networks
interested in building on the nostalgic capital of past successes
(or giving a second chance to underused properties). Some TV
remakes have been critical and commercial hits, and others haven't
made it past the pilot stage; all have provided valuable material
ripe for academic analysis. In Remake Television: Reboot, Re-use,
Recycle, edited by Carlen Lavigne, contributors from a variety of
backgrounds offer multicultural, multidisciplinary perspectives on
remake themes in popular television series, from classic cult
favorites such as The Avengers (1961-69) and The X-Files
(1993-2002) to current hits like Doctor Who (2005-present) and The
Walking Dead (2010-present). Chapters examine what constitutes a
remake, and what series changes might tell us about changing
historical and cultural contexts-or about the medium of television
itself.
