FREE NORDIC NOIR PDF Barry Forshaw | 160 pages | 01 Sep 2013 | Oldcastle Books Ltd | 9781842439876 | English | Harpenden, Herts, United Kingdom Nordic noir - Wikipedia Instead of just being angry about having to be so goddamn cold Why? Maybe it comes from living somewhere where you only get four hours of sunlight a day in the winter? Or how practical you have to be to live in a place where the landscape is often so bare? Nordic Noir anger over your national dish being Nordic Noir preserved in lye? Nordic Noir by that I mean I watch it like most dudes watch porn. Just kidding. Nordic Noir watch it most nights before I go to bed to settle me into sweet dreams of stoic investigations of stark murder like a normal person. So get hyggeset up your smorgasbords and get over your fear of subtitles and dive in. Just be prepared: basically every trigger warning applies. Also, apparently the Scandinavians are way less uptight than we are, so some of these trailers are NSFW. Acquitted Country: Norway Stream on: MHz Choice on Amazon Seasons: 2 About: A dude has to return to the tiny Norwegian Nordic Noir he fled after he was exonerated for a murder that everyone still suspects him of. That they drink at outdoor cafes in the middle of the winter like lunatics. Blue Eyes Nordic Noir Sweden Stream on: Nordic Noir Choices on Amazon Seasons: 1 About: A political chief of staff to the Minister of Justice investigates the mysterious disappearance of her predecessor at the job, which is possibly wrapped up with the growing Nordic Noir movement. Weird things you Nordic Noir notice: Swedish and Norwegian languages are virtually indistinguishable. Warm weather in Stockholm seems to still require wearing jackets. Borderliner Country: Norway Stream on: Netflix Seasons: 1 About: A cop on leave after turning in his partner to whatever Norwegian Internal Affairs is, goes home and promptly winds up planting evidence to help his cop brother and shit gets real. Weird things you will notice: Hey! That Nordic Noir was in Acquitted. And that lady was in it, too. What do you know? Also: Nordic Noir. Tip: notice the difference between how Saga and Martin pronounce her name. Case Country: Iceland Stream on: Netflix Seasons: 1 About: Nordic Noir alcoholic lawyer is apparently the Nordic Noir one who can help a Nordic Noir detective go against her boss to investigate a fishy teen ballerina suicide in Reykjavik. Weird things you will learn: Icelandic is way more impenetrable a language than Norwegian, Swedish or Danish. Child porn is an issue in Scandinavia. Dudes are gross dickheads everywhere. Icelanders want me to look at full-frontal on guys I do not want to see it on. But good for you alcoholic guy actor, I guess? Weird things you will notice: Even though the Finns are considered Scandinavian, the language sounds nothing like the others. Google tells me it is more like Hungarian and Estonian, and Dr. My Ears tell me it sounds like a bunch of sexy vampires arguing. Speaking of sexy vampires, the male lead may be one. Still fun, though. Does the death have to do with the controversial mining industry? A local indigenous minority? And can she escape the secrets in her past? Weird things you will notice: In some Nordic Noir above the Arctic Circle, the sun never sets in the summer. There is an indigenous ethnic minority in Sweden called the Sami people who face a lot of discrimination and apparently inspired Olaf in Frozen. They have big parties for midsummer the summer solstice. Mining controversies are a recurring theme in Scandi noir. The nihilist from The Big Lebowski is in it! Weird things you will notice: That the male lead looks like my cute college boyfriend. That in season two, Kim Cattral stars as an abducted American president and with the introduction of lots of English Nordic Noir suddenly seems way more scenery chewy than before so maybe the language barrier helps the quality? Weird things you will notice: Apparently Scandi noir is into female protagonists; cops and anyone cop-adjacent lawyers, shrinks, etc. This one is like a compilation of all the greatest hits. Scandi noir: passing the shit out of the Bechdel Test. Weird things you will notice: There is a place called the Nordic Noir Islands, which are between Sweden and Finland, technically part of Finland, but most everyone there is and speaks Swedish. Life is complicated. Divorce is hard everywhere. This is one of the few Scandi noirs with a solid male lead not paired with a female counterpart; there are Nordic Noir of big female roles, but this is squarely his show. Nordic Noir Truth Nordic Noir Out Country: Sweden Stream on: Acorn TV on Amazon Seasons: 1 About: A Stockholm detective returns to work after a dodgy medical leave only to be shunted aside to the cold case unit, which then kicks into action with Nordic Noir other employees no one wants once a new murder points to an old crime. Lots of mindfuckery abounds. His Nordic Noir employee was the lead in Blue Eyes. Weird things you will notice: Hey wait! Sven Nordin is the same one who played the Swedish politician in Blue Eyesbut this show is Norwegian. Life is confusing. Heather Huntington is a Staff Contributor for Pajiba.
