Abstract

In the last decade, the television landscape has drastically transformed with the digitalization of the medium. Subscription video on demand platforms have started to produce original content and as such, are changing distribution and consumption patterns of contemporary TV series. Netflix, one of the main platforms that instigated this change, has systematically produced original drama and comedy content indented for binge-watching. is a recent example of these Netflix original miniseries. In this article, I analyse the overarching story of the series and argue that the structure of the narrative works more like a long-form film rather than a TV series. In doing so, I comment on the nature of television drama writing in this new binge-watching era.
