The Second Golden Age of TV (1 Jan 2000 Jahr – 11 St 10 Sept 2019 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

In the United States, the current Golden Age of Television has been a period widely regarded as being marked by a large number of high quality, internationally acclaimed television programs. It is believed to have resulted from advances in technologies of media distribution,[9][10] as well as a large increase in the number of hours of available television, which has prompted a major wave of content creation.[11]

French scholar Alexis Pichard has argued that TV series enjoyed a Second Golden Age[16] starting in the 2000s which was a combination of three elements: first, an improvement in both visual aesthetics and storytelling; second, an overall homogeneity between cable series and networks series; and third, a tremendous popular success.

Shows such as The Sopranos (which first aired in 1999), Six Feet Under (2001), The Wire (2002), Deadwood (2004),[19] Mad Men (2007), Breaking Bad, (2008), and Game of Thrones (2011), are generally considered the basis of the so-called Golden Age of Television, (i.e. the new creator-driven tragic dramas of the 2000s and 2010s).[15][20][21] The Writer's Guild of America vote for 101 Best Written TV Shows includes a complete foundation of the current Golden Age of Television.[22]

The increase in the number of shows is also cited as evidence of a Golden Age, or peak TV. In the five years between 2011 and 2016, the number of scripted television shows, on broadcast, cable and digital platforms increased by 71%. In 2002, 182 television shows aired, while 2016 had 455 original scripted television shows and 495 in 2018. The number of shows are rising largely due to companies like Netflix, Amazon Video and Hulu investing heavily in original content.

Characteristics of this golden age are complicated characters described as morally ambiguous at best, questionable behavior and all, complex plots and eager forays into R-rated territory.
