Summary

"Sunka Simon investigates why the emphasis on the uniquely German regional and national themes of Tatort (1970- ), the country's longest-running crime drama that failed to take off internationally, did not hinder Netflix's Dogs of Berlin or Dark from making a splash in the US. That Dark and Perfume were "darkly German" became one of their selling points, rather than a draw back. Through a closer look at the crime drama Simon explores how the broadcast era is connected to Netflix's global reach. Interrogating key concepts and debates in television studies with a foundation in German cultural studies, using archival research, reception and news analysis, German Crime Dramas from Network Television to Netflix makes an important intervention in and addition to the field of U.S./U.K.-centric television studies."--
