Specialised means unique and the TV industry is specialised through digital convergence as they can avoid regulations due to genre and channel. The platforms that can produce TV shows are changing with Netflix and Disney plus being ever growing.
  • How is the TV industry different from the film industry?

CLIP ANALYSIS - George and Odie
Hyper reality of the perfect suburban shop with the shelves all stocked and the blue green colour scheme 
representation of elderly people and carers 
Representation of the police with the officers walking around after the incident and telling George that he can't have Odie walking around punching humans because humans are "more important"
The police officers are inimidating because they are in positions of authority, they are both white working class and this is representative of working class white police men and women 

UK crime dramas really all look like this.
