And yet, as Martin Shuster has observed, critical optics that have emerged out of lit- erary studies, cinema studies, media studies, and philosophy have only recently been turned toward the groundswell of contemporary televisual offerings. What Shuster refers to as \u201cnew television\u201d is a simple intervention predicated on the awareness that series such as The Wire, Breaking Bad, and The Sopranos articulate the coordinates of a world in which long-standing American institutions have been liquidated of their authority and \u201cend of history\u201d narratives about the benevolent potentials of technocapitalism ring hollow. As such, series operating in the new-televisual mode mark a rupture from those that preceded them, and insightful new critical approaches are required to appreciate their shared and divergent contours. This far-reaching Canadian Review of American Studies special issue draws inspiration from Shuster\u2019s gesture insofar as each article employs the concept of new television as a leaping-off point for pushing television criticism in exciting new directions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Check out the full selection:<\/p>\n<p>Joseph Conway on From Disincorporation to Rematerialization: <i>Breaking Bad<\/i> and the Life of Cash<\/p>\n<p>David Pierson on\u00a0<i>Breaking Bad<\/i> and <i>Better Call Saul<\/i>: Struggling and Living in Liquid Times<\/p>\n<p>Siobhan Lyons on\u00a0The (Anti-)Hero with a Thousand Faces: Reconstructing Villainy in <i>The Sopranos, Breaking Bad<\/i>, and <i>Better Call Saul<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Alan Gibbs on New Television as Neo-Naturalism: <i>The Wire<\/i> and <i>The Shield<\/i><\/p>\n<p>William Bartley on\u00a0What Is Long-Form Television?
