title = "Melancholy and Murder: Feelings, Atmosphere and Social Criticism in Television Crime Series",
abstract = "The concept of melancholy has played a prominent role in research aiming to define Nordic noir and subsequent British productions. By linking the concepts of tone and mood to audio-visual theory, our aim is to clarify the ways in which a melancholy mood and tone have developed into primary defining ingredients in contemporary TV crime drama. As the British crime serial Southcliffe (2013-) excels in melancholic traits, it serves as our main example to illuminate prevalent uses of melancholy. Links are drawn to other British and Nordic crime series. ",
