Within the growing field of TV series studies, little work has yet been done on Ireland. This volume fills the gap by offering new and compelling studies of contemporary Irish TV series. It argues that there is a distinctly Irish culture of TV fiction series and examines some of its finest examples, from Father Ted to Love/Hate and Sin Scéal Eile.
Within the growing field of television studies, little work has yet been done on the Irish context. This volume aims to fill this gap by offering new and compelling studies of contemporary Irish TV series. Fictional TV series, which constitute an autonomous genre within the broader cultural phenomenon of TV broadcasting, are explored here as paradigmatic representations of Irish popular culture. This book investigates the vast number of series produced in Ireland over the past two decades, focusing on their cultural impact at a time when American and British dominance have led many critics and viewers to underestimate the significance of Irish programming. The essays collected here reveal a distinctly Irish culture of TV fiction series, in both the Irish and English languages, and examine some of its finest examples, from Father Ted to Love/Hate and Sin Scéal Eile.
