In tracing the evolutionary record of our improvement toward a Platinum Age group of Television set - our time, the age of The Sopranos and Breaking Bad and Mad Men and The Wire and Homeland and Young ladies - he targets the development of the classic Tv set genres, included in this the sitcom, the crime show, the miniseries, the cleaning soap opera, the American, the animated series, and the late-night have a discussion show. In each genre he selects five key examples of the form, tracing its continuities and its own remarkable departures and attracting on exclusive and in-depth interviews with some of the most famous auteurs in tv history.
