| Description | The study focuses on the adaptation of Elizabeth Strout’s novel Olive Kitteridge. The socio-psychological novel and the HBO produced TV series gained the favour of readers, critics, and viewers alike. The study considers the ways in which the TV series utilizes approaches typical for "quality TV": disturbing the limits of the given genre, evoking darker mindsets, inhabiting the story-world with morally ambivalent characters, and uncovering the roots of economic, political, and social decay of postindustrial society. |
