Using the concept of the Anthropo(s)cene, this article interrogates the visual politics of See (2019-2022) to examine the ways in which screened landscapes can be deployed to engage with subconscious guilt associated with the despoiling of the natural environment. Employing a critical assessment of See’s narrative, visuals and production practices, this article argues that the series serves as an example of humanity’s attempt to address its impact on the planet, while simultaneously functioning as a testament to the species’ failure to move beyond the ocularcentrism that many critics suggest sustains the very ideologies that have wrought the New Human Epoch.

This article shows how the Arctic landscapes in the Danish political drama series Borgen—Power & Glory (2022) demonstrate Greenland as a contested land in distinct ways: culturally due to the postcolonial tension between Denmark and Greenland; politically due to the conflicted interests from Denmark and other nations for the country’s natural resources; environmentally due to the looming transformation of the Arctic landscapes due to global warming, and commercially due to increasing interest in screen production from Greenlandic tourism actors. Furthermore, we contribute to the location study method approach by focusing on location management and the contestedness of the industry itself.

In this article, I analyse how underground landscapes are represented in the Finnish/Swedish television series, White Wall (2020). Subterranean imaginations, I argue, help reconceptualise the agency of the inorganic, mineral and geological along with that of the biological and social. Juxtaposing the underground with the surface, White Wall unfolds not only horizontal but also vertical ways of thinking about human/non-human relations in the Anthropocene. I also discuss how the series engages with fantastical nineteenth-century stories of Earth’s exploration. Through dialogue with literary predecessors, White Wall grapples with how retrospective and prospective designations of the new geologic epoch collide.

Ted Lasso (2020-present) follows American Football coach, Ted Lasso, as he transforms the waning English Premier League team, AFC Richmond, through his relentless optimism and his mantra of ‘believe’. The show has been praised by critics for its emphasis on kindness and particularly for its exploration of ‘positive’ and ‘vulnerable’ masculinities. It is placed front and centre not just in promotion for Apple TV+ but also for the broader Apple brand which is heavily integrated into the show’s storyworld. Through a textual analysis of the series, this article critically examines Ted Lasso’s representations of masculinity and homophobia within the context of professional football. We argue that Ted Lasso subtly replicates the corporate identity of Apple in which real-world issues are selectively harnessed and distorted to create a utopic world-vision. Despite a celebrated veneer of ‘positive masculinities’ the show still exists in service of a sporting culture that is overtly steeped in hypermasculinity. Instead of challenging sports-based homophobia as it exists in the real-world, the show minimizes its existence at the (almost total) expense of including gay characters and storylines. In ‘dismantling’ toxic masculinity through such shallow means, we contend that Ted Lasso is ultimately symptomatic of a show sublimating its narrative wants to Apple’s corporate needs.
泰德-拉索》（2020 年至今）讲述了美式足球教练泰德-拉索通过不懈的乐观主义和他的口头禅 "相信"，改变了日渐衰落的英超球队 AFC 里士满。该剧因其对善良的强调，尤其是对 "积极 "和 "脆弱 "男性形象的探索而受到评论界的好评。该剧不仅在 Apple TV+ 的宣传中被置于前沿和中心位置，而且还将更广泛的苹果品牌与该剧的故事世界紧密结合在一起。本文通过对该剧的文本分析，批判性地审视了《泰德-拉索》在职业足球背景下对男性气质和同性恋恐惧症的表现。我们认为，《泰德-拉索》巧妙地复制了苹果公司的企业形象，现实世界中的问题被选择性地利用和扭曲，以创造一个乌托邦式的世界愿景。尽管该节目披着 "积极男性 "的外衣，但它的存在仍然是为了服务于体育文化，而体育文化则公然充斥着超男性气质。该剧没有挑战现实世界中存在的基于体育的同性恋恐惧症，而是以（几乎完全）牺牲同性恋角色和故事情节为代价，将其存在的可能性降到最低。我们认为，《泰德-拉索》通过这种肤浅的方式 "瓦解 "了有毒的男性气质，最终表明该剧的叙事诉求升华为苹果公司的企业需求。
