Reviews

'Elliott Logan's book breaks new and exciting ground in the critical appreciation of contemporary television drama. Based around the twin ideas of unity and fragmentation both of the characters who struggle to affirm their identities, and of the series itself as we consume it piece by piece this painstaking, vividly written analysis shows why Breaking Bad is outstanding TV.' Adrian Martin, Adjunct Associate Professor, Monash University, Australia
