From The New Yorker’s fiercely original, Pulitzer Prize-winning culture critic, a provocative collection of new and previously published essays arguing that we are what we watch.
From her creation of the “Approval Matrix” in New York magazine in 2004 to her Pulitzer Prize-winning columns for The New Yorker, Emily Nussbaum has argued for a new way of looking at TV. In this collection, including two never-before-published essays, Nussbaum writes about her passion for television, beginning with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the show that set her on a fresh intellectual path. She explores the rise of the female screwup, how fans warp the shows they love, the messy power of sexual violence on TV, and the year that jokes helped elect a reality television president.
There are three big profiles of television showrunners - Kenya Barris, Jenji Kohan, and Ryan Murphy - as well as examinations of the legacies of Norman Lear and Joan Rivers. The audiobook also includes a major new essay written during the year of #MeToo, wrestling with the question of what to do when the artist you love is a monster.
More than a collection of reviews, the audiobook makes a case for toppling the status anxiety that has long haunted the “idiot box,” even as it transformed. Through it all, Nussbaum recounts her fervent search, over 15 years, for a new kind of criticism, one that resists the false hierarchy that elevates one kind of culture (violent, dramatic, gritty) over another (joyful, funny, stylized).
I Like to Watch traces her own struggle to punch through stifling notions of “prestige television,” searching for a more expansive, more embracing vision of artistic ambition - one that acknowledges many types of beauty and complexity and opens to more varied voices. It’s an audiobook that celebrates television as television, even as each year warps the definition of just what that might mean.

With that title, Ms. Nussbaum had better credit Jerzy Kosiński and Chauncey Gardener.

Watch no further than: The Wire, Battlestar Galactica & Breaking Bad. Buffy was good too.
If we truly are what we watch, then most of us who consume tv & movies are American.
On the artist you love emerging as a monster, try the entire industry. Hollywood is a rape-factory, always was, replete with gender-blind casting couches.
Thanks a lot, Dreamkiller, very analytical.
(Anthony Lane’s writing on film in the NY is really great as well).
Now, Chauncey would’ve made a superb President, with his reassuring, gnomic utterances. A bipartisan Gardener that everyone could dig. Popular with the grassroots.

Thank you for this post.

Thank you for this ThaDreamkiller: it’s a book I’ve been meaning to accept the challenge from.
I’ve always been fairly fastidious in what I read, what music I listen to, and even what political party I vote for. The notion that we are now post-quality - as we are post-truth - intrigues me.
Moreso since I’ve been re-watching several of John Mortimer’s Rumpole dramas lately. There isn’t much on TV these days which is as rich and uncomfortable as those plays were.
Still, there wasn’t that much then, either.
