"Even as streaming offers individual user accounts, the death of family viewing has been greatly exaggerated. Family Watch Together TV shows instead how Netflix's embrace of dark telefantasy produced new intergenerational viewing cultures and transformed the way parents and children approach programming. It expertly reveals how Netflix has changed television, while more broadly reminding us of the complex, dynamic nature of genre." Professor Derek Johnson, author of Transgenerational Media Industries: Adults, Children, and the Reproduction of Culture , Professor of Media and Cultural Studies in the Department of Communication Arts, University of Wisconsin-Madison. "A timely and very important contribution to the new reception and consumption contexts for streaming and platform services. The focus on 'dark fantasy genres' in the context of family viewing is well considered and incredibly fruitful, and one that offers an exciting entry point to understanding the datafication of viewing and its impacts upon the notion of the 'family' viewer. The authors anchor their innovative approach through the mutability of genre alongside a strong histography. The chapters often draw on the issue of fandom but from different perspectives: this is an intriguing, original 'pivot' since the book addresses these attachments through the idea of family relationships.

This is a must have monograph in what is the new age of family viewing." Professor Sean Redmond, author of Liquid Space: Digital Age Science Film and Television , Professor of Film and Television, Deakin University. "This is a totally original approach. The material is very timely, as this is a new categorization style for Netflix. The writing style is accessible and yet academically rigorous." Professor Kim Akass, Editor of Quality TV: Contemporary American Television and Beyond and Critical Studies in Television Online and Critical Studies in Television (Journal), Professor of Radio, TV and Film, Rowan University.
