Nordic noir vs. spies in the cold: The reception of Scandinavian TV and film adaptations in Germany

Nordic noir often has a political content and when spies appear, they are usually portrayed negatively. Scandinavian spy novels and their adaptations, on the other hand – with the exception of Guillou’s Coq Rouge series – never reached wide audiences in Germany.
