If it's option c, you're not alone. More and more of us are saying no to the usual Saturday night fare and 'tak' to BBC4 for serving up a veritable smogasboard of gripping Scandinavian shows. Thanks to award-winning shows such as The Killing, Borgen and The Bridge, Nordic noir has us hooked and here's 10 reasons why . We're not stupid What Danish production company DK and BBC 4 have realised is that many viewers have an attention span longer than a gnat. The first series of The Killing (Forbrydelsen in Danish) twisted and turned for 20 episodes before its detectives solved the riddle of who killed Nanna Birk Larsen.Borgen (meaning 'The Castle' in Danish) leaps from public decision- making to private drama interweaving narratives of key players in a fictional Danish government. The Bridge (Bron or Broen depending on whether you're watching from Sweden or Denmark -- the show is filmed in both languages) follows another lengthy and complex murder investigation. It's not typical Saturday night fare, but the audience figures (and we're talking about more than a million people per episode) show that some of us like to be armchair Sarah Lunds forced to detect and intuit our way through narratives. It's never made explicit that The Bridge's Swedish sleuth, Saga Noren, is probably on the autism spectrum and we've to wait a while to uncover why Borgen's spin-doctor Kasper Juul has issues -- but that's okay, many of us have read actual books, we can cope with not knowing everything within 30 minutes. Real women - Yes, yes there are lingering shots of news reporter Katrine Fonsmark's sculpted bottom in Borgen and a certain appreciation of Saga's blonde locks and leather trousers in The Bridge, but what's most appealing is Scan-dram's ability to portray strong, complex women that audiences relate to. In Borgen, Denmark's first female Prime Minister, Birgitte Nyborg, struggles with her work- life balance, juggling head-of-state meetings with two children who long for home-cooked meals and a husband ogling young students. The show's been hailed as a Danish West Wing, but actually probes further by following the politicians home after work. From Nyborg's new job making her pile on the pounds and neglect her marriage, to the Killing's Sarah Lund eating out of a saucepan and letting her family fall second to work, Nordic Noir exposes the myth of having it all . much to the relief of women everywhere. Un-aspirational living Back in the Celtic Tiger days it might have been enough to pad-out plots with a parade of Jimmy Choos and sweeping shots of sumptuous soft furnishings, but today it's the significantly bleaker snow-scapes of Scandinavia that reflect the national temperature. Scan-dram isn't about telling viewers 'this is the life you wish you had'. In fact with its plethora of utilitarian flats, sodden mists and perennial gloom, it's more about being grateful you're not there. Scandi-design porn That said, whilst we may not actually want to live the Nordic life, there's still a certain stylish element to the shows that keeps us coming back. The Killing's detective Sarah Lund started the craze with her anti-fashion, chunky-knit sweaters. Her style statement, favouring functionality over labels or aesthetics, suddenly had hordes of devotees ordering woolies from designers Gudrun and Gudrun. Borgen and The Bridge have interior design aficionados purring with delight over the Poul Henningsen lights, Arne Jacobsen chairs and pared back, sleek design showcased in Birgitte's and Saga's homes. Storylines with a social conscience Nordic Noir's emphasis on substance over style comes courtesy of the wide range of world affairs and home issues intertwined in every episode. In keeping with a new world that's realised Mammon was a fallible god, Scan-dram looks at social responsibility and problems that span a multinational audience. In The Bridge, the killer preys on the homeless and mentally incapacitated, raising questions of how society shares collective responsibility for these vulnerable groups. Borgen addresses the complexities of terrorism and rendition. They may be made-up characters and scenarios, but the show's writers aren't afraid to address a few inconvenient truths. At last, a feast of real men Rather than hairless metrosexuals, Nordic Noir delivers real men. The Bridge's top cop is a beer-loving, burly Dane who loves womanising and worries about his penis.The under-dog factor Watching BBC4 is the televisual equivalent of snubbing Tesco and shopping in the farmer's market.Despite the fact that it's part of the Beeb's beast, the digital channel retains the status of plucky under-dog, resolutely sourcing fresh programming despite a £5m hole recently being made in its budget. It's estimated that an episode of any of the three Danish series broadcast on BBC4 cost it just €124,000 (and even less to make), yet The Killing pulled in bigger audiences than Mad Men. It's like Shamrock Rovers beating Chelsea -- and who wouldn't love that? Adults only After an era where the line between kids' and adult entertainment has been distinctly blurred (thank you Harry Potter, Twilight and Hunger Games), Scan-dram, with its graphic autopsies, violent sex and occasional nudity is most definitely viewing pleasure for adults only.If you want family entertainment, hop over to Strictly X Factor or whatever drivel's on the other side. Dark Coen-Brothers-esque comedy Whether it's Birgitte's ministerial committees calling her 'mummy' the second she leaves the room or Saga pulling out corpse pics as post-sex entertainment -- verbal, visual and situational black comedy is where the Danes truly are great. And finally . The language, there's something oddly mesmeric about the sing-song sound of Danish -- even when it's describing a woman cut in half. Tak! Sweden’s violent reality is undoing a peaceful self-image Shootings have become so common that they don’t make top headlines anymore. By PAULINA NEUDING 4/16/18 www.politico.eu STOCKHOLM — Sweden may be known for its popular music, IKEA and a generous welfare state. It is also increasingly associated with a rising number of Islamic State recruits, bombings and hand grenade attacks. In a period of two weeks earlier this year, five explosions took place in the country. It’s not unusual these days — Swedes have grown accustomed to headlines of violent crime, witness intimidation and gangland executions. In a country long renowned for its safety, voters cite “law and order” as the most important issue ahead of the general election in September. The topic of crime is sensitive, however, and debate about the issue in the consensus- oriented Scandinavian society is restricted by taboos. To understand crime in Sweden, it’s important to note that Sweden has benefited from the West’s broad decline in deadly violence, particularly when it comes to spontaneous violence and alcohol-related killings. The overall drop in homicides has been, however, far smaller in Sweden than in neighboring countries. Shootings in the country have become so common that they don’t make top headlines anymore, unless they are spectacular or lead to fatalities. Gang-related gun murders, now mainly a phenomenon among men with immigrant backgrounds in the country’s parallel societies, increased from 4 per year in the early 1990s to around 40 last year. Because of this, Sweden has gone from being a low-crime country to having homicide rates significantly above the Western European average. Social unrest, with car torchings, attacks on first responders and even riots, is a recurring phenomenon. Shootings in the country have become so common that they don’t make top headlines anymore, unless they are spectacular or lead to fatalities. News of attacks are quickly replaced with headlines about sports events and celebrities, as readers have become desensitized to the violence. A generation ago, bombings against the police and riots were extremely rare events. Today, reading about such incidents is considered part of daily life. The rising levels of violence have not gone unnoticed by Sweden’s Scandinavian neighbors. Norwegians commonly use the phrase “Swedish conditions” to describe crime and social unrest. The view from Denmark was made clear when former President of NATO and Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen said in an interview on Swedish TV: “I often use Sweden as a deterring example.” In response, the Swedish government has launched an international campaign for “the image of Sweden” playing down the rise in crime, both in its media strategy and through tax-funded PR campaigns.
