I agree with the statement to a certain extent. The codes and conventions of long-form television dramas can indeed reflect the values, attitudes, and beliefs of the audiences that consume them. However, it is important to note that the relationship between television content and audience values is complex and multi-dimensional. Let's examine the examples of "Stranger Things" and "Deutschland 83" to further explore this idea. "Stranger Things" is an American science fiction-horror series that pays homage to 1980s pop culture and draws inspiration from various films and TV shows of that era. It embraces nostalgia and evokes a sense of adventure and camaraderie among a group of kids in a small town. The codes and conventions of "Stranger Things" reflect a sense of innocence, friendship, and the triumph of good over evil. It appeals to a broad audience, including both younger viewers who appreciate the coming-of-age story and older audiences who enjoy the nostalgia factor. On the other hand, "Deutschland 83" is a German television drama set during the Cold War in 1983. It explores the divided Germany and the espionage activities taking place during that time. The codes and conventions of the show reflect the historical and political context of East and West Germany, highlighting the tensions, conflicts, and ideological differences between the two sides. "Deutschland 83" appeals to an audience interested in history, politics, and espionage. In both cases, the codes and conventions of these television dramas are shaped by the cultural and societal contexts in which they are produced and consumed. "Stranger Things" reflects the values and attitudes of American popular culture, emphasizing themes of friendship, adventure, and nostalgia. "Deutschland 83," on the other hand, reflects the specific historical and political context of Germany during the Cold War, addressing themes of division, espionage, and political ideologies. However, it's important to recognize that the relationship between television content and audience values is not one-sided. While television shows can reflect the values and beliefs of their target audience, they can also influence and shape those values to some extent. Television has the power to challenge societal norms, introduce new perspectives, and spark conversations about important issues. In conclusion, the codes and conventions of long-form television dramas like "Stranger Things" and "Deutschland 83" can reflect the values, attitudes, and beliefs of the audiences that consume them. However, it is also essential to consider the reciprocal relationship between television content and audience values, as television shows can both reflect and shape societal values and beliefs.
