Preferred term

primetime drama  

Definition

  • The two words primetime and drama combine to form a phrase whose meaning refers not simply to peak-time periods in television screening and viewing but also to the genre of drama itself. The consumption of this output and the dramatic representations themselves often reflect the specific gendered contexts of cultural reception as well as the wider social situations in which the output is received.
