● About this genre

What we mean by "drama"

Drama is the genre that does the most work in this archive. We treat it as everything that lives by performance, relationship, and consequence rather than spectacle or puzzle.

Most coverage here pairs a thorough plot summary with a thematic read of the ending — we cover the story and the reason the story matters.
