The advent of social media within post-9/11 American culture has created conditions in which long-form serial television has flourished. If a central experience of the current low-grade emergency culture in the US is the potential for traumatic information to reach us at any moment, serial television offers the opposite—the pleasures of delay, the incremental leak of narrative information, the depiction of characters who know less than we do. This combined lecture and television clip screening—using the series Mad Men as a point of departure—surveys recent serial television’s creation of a spoiler-sensitive culture and explains what is at stake. —Mark Sandberg
