The New Golden Age of Television

from Philosophy Talk · host Philosophy Talk

They called it a “vast wasteland” in the 1960s, but TV is very different today. Freedom from the broadcast schedule means TV makers can create longer, more complex, more philosophical stories, while binge-watching and on-demand viewing have changed the way we see those stories. Josh and Ken talk to philosophers and others about television’s new golden age. Alexander Nehamas on serious watching Katherine Tullmann on Game of Thrones Jorah Dannenberg on Westworld Pamela Hieronymi on The Good Place (where she worked as a philosophical consultant!) Plus suggestions from listeners like you.
