This book offers an account of how the global popularity of the Nordic Noir wave of television crime drama such asThe Killing/Forbrydelsen and The Bridge/Broen/Bronhad 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.

Reviews for Transnational TV Crime: From the Nordic to the Outback

""Transnational TV Crime adds to our understanding of a more diverse global screen trade and presents an innovative tool for valuing national production. The focus on a globally popular genre and some key Australian productions reveal important dimensions of a changing industry."" -- Professor Amanda Lotz, Queensland University of Technology ""A welcome addition to global screen studies, Transnational TV Crime　interrogates Australia’s recent contributions to the international phenomenon of Nordic noir. Turnbull and McCutcheon deliver a lively read on key series such as The Kettering Incident, Mystery Road, and　Secret City, synthesising production practices, audience reception, and the cultural tensions that ground these provocative narratives."" -- Robert A Saunders - Distinguished Professor, State University of New York (SUNY)
