| Abstract
|
:
|
Broe's book is scholarship that matters: he diagnoses our addictive era of 'binge TV' while highlighting possibilities for resistance. Connecting multiple aspects of the current television industry--from its pumped-up levels of sex and violence to its influence on neural and relational patterns--to the rise of the neoliberal state, Broe dismantles the illusion that television's 'post-network era' offers new freedom to the consumer. The genius of this book comes in its dizzying sweeps from one medium to another: he convinces us that serial narrative is one of the dominant narrative forms in Western mass culture, charts its aesthetic and industrial complexity, and celebrates television auteurs like Joss Whedon, J.J. Abrams, and Jane Campion, whose progressive serial narratives provide us with 'a more social and more coherent representation of an ever more perilous reality."--from back cover.
