Transnational TV Crime: From the Nordic to the Outback
This book offers an account of how the global popularity of the Nordic Noir wave of television crime drama such as The Killing/Forbrydelsen and The Bridge/Broen/Bron had a profound impact on the production of television crime drama in Australia. Through a series of case studies including Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, The Kettering Incident, Secret City and Mystery Road, the authors explore how the Australian television industry responded to the new streaming environment by producing shows with international reach and appeal. Central to this analysis is the concept of ‘total value’ which expands the notions of cultural and economic value to account for how these crime dramas generate value for the Australian screen industry in general, their creators in particular, as well as the social and financial benefits that may ensue for the communities in which they took place and audiences across the world.
