Discuss the audience appeal of our 3 main texts

The three texts which I have studied are Lost, Mad Men and Peaky Blinders. Each show attracts different types of audiences. Sky ones Lost is an American serial drama which follows the lives of survivors of a plane crash. Losts director is called JJ Abrams. Mad Men is a period drama produced by Matthew Weiner. The drama is shown on AMC and focuses on an advertising business in the 1960s. Finally the BBC2 drama Peaky Blinders, produced by Steven Knight is a drama set in Post-war Birmingham and follows a criminal organisation of former soldiers.

Lost mainly attracts a mainstream and passive audience type. One convention which is used in Lost to appeal to a mainstream and passive audience is the use of stereotypical character roles.
