this was fascinating to read, thank you for sharing it :) I haven't seen any BB or BCS, but I have watched every episode of another show set and shot in Albuquerque, USA Network's In Plain Sight (which I do recommend for various reasons, including the fact that it features a rare "grumpy lady" protagonist). I would be very interested in reading an analysis of how place fits into that show.
Hey congrats! I hadn't realized you had a book out - I'll have to check it out. Really cool topic; I'm excited to read up on Canada standing in for the US (which I imagine is a part of this, but we will seeee).
I’m so interested in the ideas you explore here, and this statement, in particular, resonates:
“The series took full advantage of Albuquerque and the surrounding area to serve as an evocative and distinct backdrop for the series, but the resulting representations of place show limited engagement with the complexities of spatial capital, even if they are memorable for audiences and valuable for the future of local production in the region.”
I also super appreciate you tackling the importance of recognizing why certain people more often get to take credit for (or get credit for) and get to leverage spatial capital.
@Myles were you able to catch up on Better Call Saul before tonight's finale?

I AM SO EXCITED TO READ DONNA’S COVERAGE OF BCS!
Thank you for making it happen, I can’t overstate how great this is.
Me too...I'm two seasons behind on Saul. There is so much to watch though....prioritizing my TV watching does not seem to be on the table.
