Nordic Noir
Let's start with one of our biggest and most loved in the noir genre. Initially a hugely popular crime fiction genre, Nordic Noir made the leap to the screen and hooked audiences in with chilling landscapes, unguessable plot twists, slow-burn mysteries and believable and flawed characters. Leading the way were Sarah Lund in the Danish series The Killing (who else really wanted to buy a?) and Saga Norén in the Danish/Swedish co-production The Bridge, and the noir hits just keep coming from Scandinavia.
- Pump up the air-con, put on that Scandi sweater, cosy up on the couch and settle in for the four complete seasons of The Bridge and 3 seasons of The Killing.
