‘This is a highly impressive book that details the aesthetic and stylistic achievements of recent high-quality television dramas. Sexton and Lees’s analysis of diverse shows such as The Young Pope, Stranger Things, and Mars among several others is both compelling, insightful and exemplary. Highly recommended for television studies scholars and students.’ J.J. Jacobs, Professor of Film and Television Studies, University of Queensland, Australia ‘This book untangles the complexities of high-end US TV by focusing in detail on the evidence for stylistic quality in some of the most innovative dramas of recent years. The roles of leading showrunners, cutting-edge technologies, and new variations on genre and narrative form are explored and evaluated in illuminating ways.’ Jonathan Bigneil, Professor of Television Film, University of Reading, UK ‘Seeing It on Television offers a masterful critical and theoretical intervention into 21st century television studies. Drilling deeply into the prestige mini-series and media specificity debates, the book shows why aesthetics and close formal analysis remain prerequisites even for scholarship on media institutions and industries. Loaded with teachable case studies on the making of televisual distinction, Seeing It on Television provides abundant insights on the collective, negotiated nature of TV art, style and authorship.’ John Thornton Caldwell, Distinguished Research Professor, University of California, Los Angeles. USA Seeing It on Television: Televisuality in the Contemporary US ‘High-end’ Series explores the appeal of high-end drama
from Netflix, Sky Atlantic/HBO, National Geographic, FX and Cinemax. An investigation of contemporary US Televisuality provides insight into the appeal of upscale programming beyond facts about its budget, high production values and/or feature cinematography. This book focuses on how the construction of Televisuality relies on its cultural discourse, production history, as well as on tone, texture or performance, which establishes the locus of engagement and value within the high-end series. Max Sexton and Dominic Lees discuss how complex production histories lie behind the rise of the US high-end series that reflects industrial changes and the renegotiation of formal strategies. They reveal how the involvement of many different people in the production process, based on new relationships of creative authority, complicates our understanding of ‘original content’. The cultural, as well as industrial, strategies of recent television drama are explored in the stylistics of The Young Pope, The Knick, Stranger Things, Mars, Fargo, The Leftovers, Boardwalk Empire and Vinyl. MAX SEXTON is head of the degree in television and film theory and practice, University College, Farnborough, UK. He is interested in the links between aesthetics and production histories. DOMINIC. LEES is Associate Head of Filmmaking at the University of the West of England, Bristol, UK. His directing practice in the UK, Germany, France and Poland has included forty‘episodes of TV drama, short films and the multi award-winning independent feature, Outlanders (2008).
