Summary/Abstract: The TV crime drama is one of the most popular genres for European audiences and arguably also the most culturally sensitive and nuanced. The author in his article analyzes one of the Swedish examples of crime drama called Jordskott. Author interprets it through the prism of the Nordic noir aesthetics while characterizing this concept. In the course of analyzes, however, he notices that the Jordskott series escapes the genre framework and is located somewhere at the intersection of such film aesthetics as: Nordic noir, ecological thriller, horror or fairy tale.
