Review Quotes: This is a timely, brilliant volume by sterling scholars. Through its focus on the many reflexive forms of brevity (scenes, episodic anthologies, special episodes, shortcoms, miniseries, paratextual videos) and its emphasis on the fragment as well as the whole, it enriches our understanding of television seriality in a decisive way.-- "Sarah Hatchuel, Professor in Film and Media Studies, Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3, France"
