The Perfect Crime:
Has the tv world finally run out of ways to kill?
The debut issue of FutureFrame, “The Perfect Crime,” explores how European crime drama is reinventing itself — shifting from bleak Nordic noir to lighter, character-driven hybrids. Through insights from Alexandre Dahan (Stupefy), Anders Berg (Fredo Pictures), and Sina Knoll (NDR), it examines the genre’s tonal split between darkness and light, comfort and surprise.
How can independent producers master this balance? And does the new wave of crime storytelling expand audiences — or risk diluting the genre’s edge? Download the full issue to explore.
