Play All: A Bingewatcher’s Notebook Audiobook (Free)

Television and Television viewing are not what they once were-and that is clearly a positive thing, according to award-winning writer and critic Clive James. Since providing as television columnist for the London Observer from 1972 to 1982, James has observed a radical switch in content, format, and development and in the manner in which television is watched. Right here he examines this unique cultural revolution, offering a brilliant, eminently entertaining analysis of many from the medium’s perhaps most obviously twenty-first-century accomplishments and their not-always-subtle impact on modern society-including such acclaimed serial dramas as Breaking Poor, The West Wing, Mad Males, as well as the Sopranos, aswell as the humor 30 Rock.

With intelligence and wit, James explores a television landscaping expanded by cable and broadband and profoundly altered from the advent of Netflix, Amazon, and other “cord-cutting” platforms which have helped to usher in a golden age of unabashed binge-watching.
