Season 1

The first-season finale was met with negative reviews from some critics. The Los Angeles Times called it “one of the most frustrating finales in TV history,” with Alan Sepinwall of HitFix.com calling the end “insulting.” Finally, Maureen Ryan of AOL TV said that the finale “killed off any interest I had in ever watching the show again.” “[The show] began last spring looking like the smartest, most stylish pilot in years,” complained Heather Havrilevsky in the new York times magazine. “Fast-forward to the finale, in which we learn that what we’ve been watching is actually a 26-hour-long episode of law and order and we’re only halfway through it.”

No Offence

A police series based in Manchester from the writer of ‘Shameless’. On channel 4. Has a women as the lead role, and other female characters as well as males.

Genres: Drama, Police procedural, Dark Comedy

The first episode launched with 2.5 million viewers.

Mark Scheme notes:

  • the importance of targeting an audience beyond the national evident in Channel 4’s investment in online company TRX (The Rights Exchange) which aims to facilitate the sale of programmes abroad
  • No Offence is produced by AbbotVision, the independent producer of Shameless – which was successfully remade in the US– suggesting that the appeal to an international audience is a deliberate strategy
  • No Offence represents British national culture to a British audience – but this identity is also used as a selling point internationally through the appeal of difference
  • The series has a social realist aesthetic which is a recognizable
    national style but is also popular in Europe (evidenced in the
    popularity of social realist films in Europe)
  • No Offence was broadcast on France2 the public service broadcaster, to very high viewing figures; the perceived weakness of French broadcast TV provides opportunities for export.
  • The series’ focus on the detective narrative and crime drama is familiar and understood globally, the representation of the independent, female detective has proven popularity.

Key idea: the political, personal and cultural are always intertwined

The Idea of Resistance and Political Protest

Culture is what influences people’s hearts, minds and opinions. This is the site of popular change.

Hegemonic: dominant, ruling-class, power-holders
● Hegemonic culture: the dominant culture
● Cultural hegemony: power, rule, or domination maintained by ideological and cultural means.
● Ideology: worldview – beliefs, assumptions and values

● In the 1970s, a group of cultural theorists in Birmingham applied Gramsci’s theories to post-war
British working-class youth culture
● Looked at working class cultures like the teddy-boys, mods, skinheads, and punks – subcultures
unified by shared tastes in fashion, music and ideology.
● They argued argued that the formation of subcultures offered young working class people a solution
to the problems they were collectively experiencing in society.

The caged birds sings for freedom to bring

“Slavery’s still alive, check Amendment 13”

amendment 13 states “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” this states that if your a criminal a punishment can therefore be slavery therefore having America profiting on people

post colonialism

But here it is specifically looking at identity and representation through the lens of Empire and Colonialism.

The Shadow of Slavery

post colonialism is a way of critically looking at culture a key figure is Edward Saiv he wrote a book called orientalism

and he’s talking about the link between culture and imperial colonialism

Jacques Lacan: “The other”

he talks abut the search for identity by looking at the mirror and the mirror is like a media text.
