“…While stylistically significant, the melancholic coldness of autumn and dry interiors and exteriors also have implications for the melancholic way that The Bridge discloses its world to a viewer and thus impacts how its themes can be read. In this sense, affect is essential for the critical potentiality of a series, as has similarly been argued about emotions in art by Gorton (2009) and affective poetics in film by Hauke Lehmann (2016). The narrative is largely driven by Jens's personal revenge, but I contend that the dry, cold melancholy prohibits revenge from appearing as a dominant theme in the series.…”

Scholars of crime fiction continuously discuss what Nordic Noir series have in common, arguing that it is a genre, a brand and a style respectively. Instead, this article explores Nordic Noir as an atmosphere, observed through the concept of stimmung, and argues that affective world-building in TV-series should be analysed beyond matters of style and narrative. Based on an analysis of The Bridge (2011–2018), the article discusses the aesthetic and critical potentialities of attuning oneself to the melancholic world of Nordic Noir and demonstrates that the affective quality of a series impacts how its themes can be read.
