Question 3 LFTV Drama

 The difference in then codes and conventions of long form television dramas reflect the different values, attitudes and beliefs of the audience that consume them, how far do you agree? 

-Difference between the two shows. 

-Macro vs micro 

-difference between audience- millennials, gen z, ABC1 

-Ownership structure- budget, synergy, format, bingability 

Representation- Gender roles, 2007 Denmark 1980s America 

-Theorists- Hesmondhalghs, Butler, Neale 

-Conclusion 

 

Because Netflix is present in over 190 countries, it must appeal to a wider range of audiences with different values and ideologies, whilst DR only need to focus on the niche stylings of the Nordic noire genre. 

 

Social context 

-The killing social attitudes are show towards gender with a contrast between two male politicians vying for power in contrast to the female protagonist: both demonstrate the patriarchal power being challenged with Lund Vs Meyer suggesting a westernized shift of women being in more powerful roles  

-Stranger things episode one shows the largely nostalgic representation of the 1980s America with family values and nuclear families. There is a challenge of gender roles and ideologies as was the same with this time. 


Netflix distributed stranger things through their studio 21 laps, making the show a Netflix original through the use of vertical integration. The show was a global success in some part to its pacing and bingability, a quality characteristic of Netflix

This can be seen with the  Netflix series Stranger Things where rather than losing the concept of genre all together, have hybridized many genres into its tv show in an attempt to reach a larger audience. This is due to the fact that Netflix are entirely concerned with maximizing profits and must be as appealing to mass audience as possible. Whereas with DRs the killing, they are more fixated on only using the Nordic Noire genre, appealing to a far more niche ABC1 audience. Because of DR being a Public Service Broadcaster with a goal of being a refection of he country and point out social flaws in Denmark, DR are able to take risks and not be con
