An ambitious interpretation of the critically celebrated and widely popular crime drama Breaking Bad , this book argues that not only should the series be understood as a show that revolves around the dramatic stakes of dignity, but that to do so reveals - in new ways - central aspects of serial television drama as an art form.

Elliott Logan teaches film and television aesthetics at the University of Queensland, Australia. He is the author of a number of publications on style and meaning in serial television, with a particular focus on performance.
