Crime drama is without doubt the genre with the greatest transnational success in European television. It takes us into the darker side of society and human psychology, shaking us out of our normal everyday reality and testing the laws and morality on which we base our society. It is a genre that thrives on surprise and suspense. In this chapter, we deal with some major examples of the genre from Scandinavia, the UK and Belgium, considering production, co-production, distribution to audiences and reception from a transnational perspective. We try to answer the question of the transnational popularity of European crime series, taking into account its universal dimensions and the national variations. |
