Sommario/riassunto

Contemporary British Television Crime Drama examines one of the medium's most popular genres and places it within its historical and industrial context. It traces the changing cultural and narrative approaches the genre takes to the mediation of crime and policing. Contributors analyze popular series such as Broadchurch, Poirot, Sherlock and Wallander, paying attention to how this dynamic genre responds to processes of globalization and hybridization within the television industry itself.
