Publisher's Summary

Television and TV viewing are not what they once were - and that's a good thing, according to award-winning author and critic Clive James. Since serving as television columnist for the London Observer from 1972 to 1982, James has witnessed a radical change in content, format, and programming, and in the very manner in which television is watched. Here he examines this unique cultural revolution, providing a brilliant, eminently entertaining analysis of many of the medium's most notable 21st-century accomplishments and their not-always-subtle impact on modern society - including such acclaimed serial dramas as Breaking Bad, The West Wing, Mad Men, and The Sopranos, as well as the comedy 30 Rock.

With intelligence and wit, James explores a television landscape expanded by cable and broadband and profoundly altered by the advent of Netflix, Amazon, and other "cord-cutting" platforms that have helped to usher in a golden age of unabashed binge-watching.

Very funny

This book should be enjoyable for anyone who remembers the old television series from the 60’s through to the 10’s. Are you one of those people who does marathons of your favourite series seasons ? Clive James invites you sit down and listen while he bluntly critique’s his very memorable choices of the binge worthy and why. A chortle, guffaw, snort, and titter fest. Clive James, thank you for being… :-)
