COM 2380 Serial TV Storytelling

Serial dramas have inaugurated a new golden age of television. Moving away from the traditional episodic structure of primetime TV, they tell on-going stories with ensemble casts and multiple, interweaving plotlines. This class examines long-form storytelling techniques, including beats, arcs, juggling groups of complex characters and developing character change over the course of the season and series. Examples include programming from Netflix, Hulu, and other video streaming services.
