Defining a Genre of a Film, TV Series, or Book

Choose a film, TV series, or book. What genre (e.g., comedy, action, drama, etc.) best characterizes and epitomizes the topic you’ve chosen?

Why does this genre best describe this film, TV series, or book? You must not only define the boundaries and characteristics of your topic, but you must also convince the reader that your classification is useful, accurate, and justifiable. Your argument should be sound, reasonable, and well-articulated. Your argument should require you to consider the definitions of words, and you should quote lexical evidence (with full citations) in support of your claims. Your topic may benefit from considering the multiplicity of meanings and connotations which a word or term may contain and/or the way a word has changed meaning over time.
