Critics Review

“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)
