Author Vincent L. Stephens offers close readings of nine pivotal series, including \u003ci\u003eGirls\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOrange Is the New Black\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBroad City\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJane the Virgin\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCrazy Ex-Girlfriend\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFleabag\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eInsecure\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eShrill\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eI May Destroy You\u003c\/i\u003e. Across these series, women-led creative teams translated techniques from indie films, inverted gendered television tropes, and engaged in innovative temporal storytelling. These series, often including showrunners who also act, write, and direct, are the product of a new ecology of television driven by the rise of streaming platforms and a demand for more inclusive narratives. \u003ci\u003eBroads, Sisters, Exes\u003c\/i\u003e optimistically contends with women as aesthetic innovators and maps their influence on entertainment industry reforms that are slowly but surely increasing accessibility for creatives from groups historically underrepresented across media. Through elegant prose deeply rooted in an intersectional feminist perspective, Stephens expands the aesthetic and narrative grammars of contemporary television.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wayne State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46863442739351,"sku":"9780814350263","price":3947.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780814350263.webp?v=1769970307","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/broads-sisters-exes-feminist-millennial-television-9780814350263","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
