Michael Mario Albrecht is Assistant Professor of Media Communication at Eckerd College, USA.’Want to understand the culture of masculinity in the 21st century US? Michael Mario Albrecht shines a new light on some of today’s most compelling television series by illuminating the connections between popular male characters and the social and political landscape within which they emerge. A much-needed book in the study of gender, media, and contemporary culture.’ Elana Levine, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, USA ’Michael Mario Albrecht adds a crucial, critical voice to contemporary discussions about Quality television. His careful and illuminating exploration of male-centered television series in the twenty-first century shows how their characters are caught between feminism and post-feminism, between new and old forms of masculinity, much like the men who enjoy the series. His sharp and pithy analysis carries substantial intellectual heft, while his highly readable prose makes this an excellent text for students of gender and culture at all levels.’ Timothy Havens, University of Iowa, USA
