"Religion Across Television Genres connects communication theories to the religious content of TV programs from an array of form and content genres, specifically, the NBC comedy Community, the critically acclaimed Netflix series Orange Is the New Black, AMC's international megahit The Walking Dead, and the CW's long-running fan favorite Supernatural.
