Abstract:
This thesis is a comparison of the portrayal of faith, spirituality, and religion in the television programs Eli Stone, Reaper, Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me, and Lost. It explores the way in which these television series subvert tropes of the spiritual journey to create strong characters and faithbased
stories, and also reflects on how that research was used to create my original TV pilot, Rekindled.
