The Darlings A seven-part television series

Abstract

Volume 1 - The creative component, The Darlings, is a television comedy. It follows Frances Truman, a young woman living in a residential college, who is undertaking postgraduate studies in creative writing. The show revolves around a violent crime committed within the college and is set in Adelaide.

Volume 2 - The exegetical component of the thesis compares two television comedies, How I Met Your Mother and Fleabag, in order to explore both the risks and benefits of using unreliable narration in televisual texts. It also examines notions of closure in unreliable narratives, using the work of Marianna Torgovnick and C. Lee Harrington as theoretical bases.
