I Like to Watch: Arguing My Way Through the TV Revolution by Emily Nussbaum

ISBN: 9780525508960 PUBLISHER: Random House USA Inc FORMAT: Hardback PAGES: 384 PUBLICATION DATE: 18.07.2019

DESCRIPTION: Emily Nussbaum is the perfect critic-smart, engaging, funny, generous, and insightful.-David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon

From her creation of the Approval Matrix in New York magazine in 2004 to her Pulitzer Prize-winning columns for The New Yorker, Emily Nussbaum has argued for a new way of looking at TV. In this collection, including two never-before-published essays, Nussbaum writes about her passion for television, beginning with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the show that set her on a fresh intellectual path. She explores the rise of the female screw-up, how fans warp the shows they love, the messy power of sexual violence on TV, and the year that jokes helped elect a reality-television president. There are three big profiles of television showrunners-Kenya Barris, Jenji Kohan, and Ryan Murphy-as well as examinations of the legacies of Norman Lear and Joan Rivers. The book also includes a major new essay written during the year of #MeToo, wrestling with the question of what to do when the artist you love is a monster.
