Choose 1 episode of one of these series and write critique about it.
You have the choice to choose 1 episode you want from whatever series listed below
Friends; Suits; Ozarks; Survivor; John Oliver Show; Empire
After watching your chosen episode from one of the shows identified above, write a critique exploring the extent to which the episode adheres to the commercial medias profit-driven ideology. In other words, explain how the networks profit motives compromise what has wound up on your TV screen. (To compromise means to accept standards lower than ones expectations.) In order to make your argument, you will need to refer to the article by Richard Butsch, who explains how profit motives influence the kinds of stories found on network television shows. Be sure to support your argument with a detailed analysis of the episode you watched.The critique should consist of several paragraphs (an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion), each of which develops a point youre trying to make.
Format: double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins. At the top of your first page, include your name and a title for your critique. Do not include a cover page.
For our purposes, a critique is basically a short essay. It requires the student to respond to the assigned question by making a convincing argument that relies on a close analysis of the text.Your critiques thesis should answer the assigned question (i.e. how has the episode been compromised as a result of the producers efforts to satisfy the networks profit motives?). The critique must support the thesis with a detailed analysis of what happens in the episode. Be sure to italicize titles of television shows and to put episode titles inside quotation marks.Note: while you do need to analyze specific aspects of the episode (e.g. character portrayals, lines of dialogue, set designs, etc.), you dont need to include the episode itself in a Works Cited list.)**
