Opis

Transatlantic Television Drama looks at how serial dramas like Black Mirror captivate US audiences, and what this reveals about the ways Americans and Brits relate to each other on and off the screen.

Recenzje

For anyone interested in the relationship between British and American television, this book is a must-read. It significantly updates and expands the existing literature in the field and manages to address a wide variety of aspects that emerge in the transnational relationship between the two countries. Hills, Hilmes, and Pearson have managed to bring together the top names in the study of the transatlantic relationship to investigate developments in the production, in the textual construction, and in fan and audience practices based on British and American television drama.
