Sommario/riassunto

Over the last decade Spain and Mexico have both produced an  extraordinary wealth of television drama. Drawing on both national practices of  production and reception and international theories of textual analysis this  book offers the first study of contemporary quality TV drama in two countries  where television has displaced cinema as the creative medium  that shapes the national narrative. As dramatized societies, Spain and Mexico  are thus at once reflected and refracted by the new series on the small screen.
