"Something has happened in the world of television drama. For the last decade and a half America has assumed a dominant position. Novelists, screenwriters and journalists, who would once have had no intere- - st in writing for television, indeed who often despised it, suddenly realised that it was where America could have a dialogue with itself. The new television drama was where writers could engage with the soci- al and political realities of the time, interrogating the myths and values of a society moving into a new century. Familiar genres have been r- einvented, from crime fiction to science fiction. This is a book as much about a changing America as about the television series which have addressed it, from The Sopranos and The Wire to The West Wing, Mad Me- n and Treme in what has emerged as the second golden age of American television drama"--
