The dominant narrative of American series has changed over time. It has moved from identity politics via a single hero or a couple of heroes (from 1960ies to mid-1980ies) to morality politics revisited via ensemble heroes (from mid-1980ies to mid-2000). The more recent output seems to have moved to security politics, with a cognitive turn. This is apparent in post 9/11 series that tend to focus on neuro-sciences and para-mental processes, in relation with missing or lost people: Numb3rs (CBS, 2003–), House (Fox, 2004–), Medium (NBC, 2005–), Ghost Whisperer (CBS, 2005–), Heroes (NBC, 2006–), Psych (USA network, 2006–), Fringe (Fox, 2008–) , The Mentalist (CBS, 2008–), Mental (Fox, 2009–), Lie to me (Fox, 2009–).
