Unknown Critic Presents: Cliffhangers and Catfights - The 100 TV Soap Operas That Stole Our Hearts

Dive into the sudsy, scandal-soaked world of soap operas with The Unknown Critic Presents: Cliffhangers and Catfights, a hilarious and heartfelt romp through 100 iconic daytime and primetime soaps that defined American television. From the tear-soaked drama of Days of Our Lives to the glitzy betrayals of Dynasty, the Unknown Critic delivers razor-sharp reviews of the shows that gave us evil twins, amnesia-fueled plot twists, and shoulder pads that could launch a rocket. With a wink and a nod, this book celebrates the melodrama that hooked generations while poking fun at its gloriously absurd tropes.

But it's not just about the soaps! Five uproarious essays punctuate the reviews, dishing on everything from the wild history of soap fandom (Soapnet, we miss you!) to the chaotic lives of soap opera writers and the A-listers who got their start in Sudsville. Ever wonder why every character owns a mansion? Or how to stage the perfect soap opera slap? The Unknown Critic has you covered with laugh-out-loud insights and nostalgic love for the genre.

Perfect for diehard soap fans, pop culture junkies, and anyone who's ever gasped at a wedding gone wrong, this book is your VIP pass to the chandelier-lit, martini-swigging world of soap operas. Whether you're Team General Hospital or Melrose Place, join the Unknown Critic for a deliciously dishy tribute to the shows that stole our hearts-and kept us glued to the screen.
