This captivating book delves into the relatively recent genre of 'Quality Telefantasy,' which has had a profound impact on TV taste cultures by legitimizing and mainstreaming fantastical content. It explores how the rising popularity of this genre signifies a significant shift in the cultural dominance and critical acclaim of TV shows. By broadening the definition of US Quality TV, the book brings together a diverse range of popular science fiction, fantasy, and horror TV series, including Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, and Westworld, as case studies that showcase the emergence of the Quality Telefantasy genre. It examines the role of technology, such as internet recap culture and subscription video on demand distribution, in the swift emergence of Quality Telefantasy and analyzes its international success by considering series created outside the US, such as Kingdom (South Korea, Netflix) and Dark (Germany, Netflix). The book argues that Quality Telefantasy series should be considered a part of the broader Quality TV super-genre and that their impact on the global TV landscape warrants further investigation as it continues to evolve. This insightful text is an invaluable resource for students and scholars engaged in the study of television studies, new media, and pop-cultural studies.
