Drawing worldwide acclaim from critics and audiences alike,
programmes like The Killing, Borgen, The Bridge and The Legacy
demonstrate widespread fascination with Danish style, aesthetics
and culture as seen through television narratives. This book uses
familiar, alongside lesser known, case studies of drama series to
demonstrate how the particular features of Danish production - from
work cultures, to storytelling techniques and trans-national
cooperation - have enhanced contemporary Danish drama's appeal both
at home and abroad. The era of globalisation has blurred national
and international television cultures and promoted regular
cross-fertilisation between film and television industries.
Important questions have emerged from this context surrounding, for
example, the 'Americanisation' of foreign television formats, the
meaning and practice behind the term 'quality television', and the
purpose and efficacy of public service broadcasting. Beyond the
Bridge tackles these issues in relation to Danish television, by
examining the so-called 'scaffolded production processes' behind
the making of quality serials and their thought-provoking content.
Drawing on popular motifs from these celebrated dramas such as
foreign politics, organised crime, global warming, and the impact
of multinational corporations, this timely book provides crucial
insight into the Danish dramas at the forefront of sophisticated,
forward-thinking, fictional television.
