The first book to examine live action, fictional television shows produced within a five-year period through the lens of the trends that they epitomize. Topics discussed include the significance of the platform and the format; the intentions of the creators and showrunners; similar shows and precedents; and the storytelling approach.
What do Euphoria, Normal People, Atlanta, Ramy, Vida, I May Destroy You, Stranger Things, and Lovecraft Country have in common? In the 2016-2020 time period they were created, these TV shows exemplified one (or more) of four noteworthy trends: authenticity, diversity, sexual candour, and retrospection.This is the first book to examine live action, fictional television shows produced within a five-year period through the lens of the trends that they epitomise. For each show, the following is discussed: the significance of the platform and the format; the intentions of the creators and showrunners; pertinent background information; similar shows and precedents; the storytelling approach; the cinematic form; and finally, how the show is emblematic of that particular trend. Since trends have the possibility of becoming part of the mainstream, they are important to identify as they emerge, especially for viewers who have a keen interest in narrative television shows.
