- Summary/Abstract:The article takes a closer look at web series which not only are distributed exclusively via world wide web (usually YouTube and Vimeo) but for which thehyper textuality, modularity or transmediality stand for their essential qualities. I have divided web series into three categories: 1) very cheap, short series and seriesof a few episodes amateurish in form ; 2) semi-professional series of a longerlength, sometimes genre-oriented; 3) professional “extensions” (spin-off’s) of traditional TV series, 4) branded series considered to represent narrative commercials of minor and major brands.The author analyses the form and content of the above regarding both fictionaland documentary works; elaborates on one of the most complex examples (“H+. The Digital Series” by Warner Bros.) and finishes with opportunities anddisad vantages of such a film form.

- Keywords:modern drama series; narrative complexity; quality drama; continuing series
- Summary/Abstract:Modern television series are a product of quality television and thus significantly differ from the models that have been deeply rooted in serial culture sincethe very beginning of the media’s existence. At that time, the dominating category constituted series with an episodic structure closed within one episode. Nowadays, the dominant format is the narrative continuity. The text aims to show the series in which the creators used innovative solutionsas a result of which a new narrative paradigm was formed, described as a „narrative complexity”. The article briefly analyzes various series genres: soapoperas, sitcoms and postmodernist series. All the examples cited represent a differenttypes of multi-threaded balance, that affects the evolution of narrative patterns.

- Summary/Abstract:In the second half of the first decade of the 21st century, affirmative imagesof homosexual men began to appear in both Polish cinema and drama series. Several factors contributed to this, including the “influence of the West” after Poland had joined the European Union. Driven by socio-political changes, theimprovement of gay men’s media image can be observed on the example of themale character of the Polish soap opera "M jak miłość" (L for Love) – Grzegorz. Inepisodes produced in 2003, Grzegorz is an secondary, definitely negative characterand represents a serious threat to the heteronormative social structure. Twoyears later, in 2005, Grzegorz appears in "M jak miłość" again, this time equipped with positive features: generosity, unselfishness, patience, sensitivity. He implements the “gay best friend” stereotype – is a friend of one of the female protagonists, also becomes a victim of a homophobic attack. However, same like the negative image of homosexual men, the positive image constructed in opposition to it is a sign of a social problem.In the second half of the first decade of the 21st century, affirmative images of homosexual men began to appear in both Polish cinema and drama series.

- Keywords:Belle Epoque, Taboo; dime novels; television series
- Summary/Abstract:Two series premiered in 2017: British-American "Taboo" and Polish "Belle Epoque". The year is not the only similarity – based on the statements by Edward Miszczak, head of programming of the TVN channel, resemblance was sought and even intended. Similitude in the main character’s image as well as the starting point of the story lines proved to be misleading. A closer look at both shows reveals that the only feature that they have in common is their rootedness in popular (and vernacular) cultural traditions: in "Taboo" intentional and visible references to political fiction, film noir aesthetics, graphic novel and heist movie; in "Belle Epoque" (topical but also stylistic) resemblance to popular gutter circulation novels (dime novels) on Polish territory at the turn of 19th and 20th centuries.

- Summary/Abstract:During recent years, the study of European televisions has rediscovered "socialist television", and we have witnessed a rapid rise in scholarly interest in a new field of research: socialist television studies. On the whole, this recent body of literature presents two main new insights as compared to previous studies in the field of the history of Western television: on the one hand, it shows that European television during the Cold War was less heterogeneous than one may imagine when considering the political, economic and ideological split created by the Iron Curtain; on the other hand, it turns to and capitalizes on archives, mostly video, which have been inaccessible to the public. The interactions between Western and socialist mass culture are highlighted mainly with respect to the most popular TV programs: fiction and entertainment.The authors give us an extraordinary landscape of the Romanian socialist television. Unique in the Eastern part of Europe is the period of the early 1990s. Upon the fall of the communist regime, after almost 15 years of freezing, TVR found itself unable to move forward.

- Summary/Abstract:Above all, Krzysztof Zanussi is known to Polish viewers as the author of popular cinema films such as The Structure of Crystal (1969), The Illumination (1972) and Camouflage (1976). However, it should be remembered that the director hasrepeatedly cooperated with television – both domestic and foreign. Nowadays, television films that fores hadowed the movement called cinema of moral concern, produced in Poland at the time of the Polish People’s Republic, are poorly present within film discourse. The aim of this article is to recreate (and compare witheach other) the former and contemporary reception of these films, discussed atdifferent intervals in popular or professional periodicals and, what is an increasingly frequent phenomenon, referenced in the Krzysztof Zanussi’s monographs.
