Fictional Television and American Politics

This book explores the relationship between fictional television and American world politics in the period from 9/11 through to the presidency of Donald J. Trump. This period comprises a second golden age for fictional TV. The book therefore explores some of the best TV of all time across two decades of heightened political controversy.

Description

We live in a golden age of fictional television, while our politics has never been so controversial. This book explores that relationship, asking what it is that some of America's most popular TV shows have to say about its politics.

Perhaps, like the author, you have gasped at Game of Thrones and balked at Breaking Bad. Fictional Television and American Politics illustrates how, far from being outside of politics, shows such as these are deeply political, helping to fill our world with meaning.

To this end, the book analyses Game of Thrones, House of Cards, The West Wing, Homeland, 24, Veep, The Wire, The Walking Dead, and Breaking Bad. These are all politically consequential shows that shape how we feel and think about world politics.
