Locating Nordic Noir from Finland

A close look at crime series Karppi and modern Finnish Nordic Noir

På svenska

Author

  • Robin Sörbom

Summary, in English

Why is it that Finland hasn't produced crime shows and films at the same level as their noridic neighbours? How come it is first now that a finnish crime series is reaching worldwide distribution thanks to Netflix? I take a closer look at Karppi and talks with Rike Jokela, the creator of the show about the term Nordic Noir and why Finland hasn't been producing Noir productions earlier.
