Work Description
This is among the first books to chronologically apply film noir techniques to the analysis of tv dramatic police and detective series shows. The book is serious and divides tv noir into two types, "hard" and "existential". It is also a historical look from the beginning of commercial tv to the end of the 20th century of programs as they existed in context to their times. Also includes photos, a scent of nostalgia and photos with ironic captions.
