The six-part series follows a night manager of a European hotel who is recruited by intelligence agents to infiltrate an international arms dealer's network and features Tom Hiddleston and The Kettering Incident’s Elizabeth Debicki.

ABSTRACT “What, a Black man can’t have a TV?”: Vine Racial Comedy as a Sociopolitical Discourse Genre by Kendra Nicole Calhoun This thesis analyzes the generic features and social significance of Vine racial comedy, a genre of sociopolitical humor on the video-sharing social media platform Vine. Comedy is the most popular category of videos on the platform, and for the majority of Vine’s existence since its launch in 2013, comedy has been dominated by King Bach (pronounced “batch”). Andrew Bachelor, the actor and producer behind the King Bach persona, is a 28-year-old Black comedian with more than 16 million Vine followers (as of October 2016), making him the most followed comedy Viner and the most followed Viner overall. King Bach has created a dominant form of Vine racial comedy, a unique style of audio-visual comedy that incorporates features of both face-to-face and online discourse genres and adapts them to the affordances of the Vine platform.
