Real life doesn’t conform to a single genre…
Imagine if your favourite Nordic Noir characters had quirky, cute personal lives?
What if Sarah Lund got home after a sombre day of investigating gruesome murders, let down her hair, had a quick gossip session with her bestie, put on some shiny lipstick and went out on a date with a handsome young bachelor that she is madly in love with?
K-Noir mashes together two genres that are so starkly different, that they actually fit together perfectly.
Kay is obsessed with her detective work, and the crimes she solves uncover the underlying problems and shady side of the otherwise picturesque coastal town she lives in. When she is on the job, her world becomes a darker place and her investigations are all-consuming.
But her career is just one facet of her life.
When work is finished for the day, the drama surrounding her tumultuous love life takes over, as her nosey Aunty Jina relentlessly brings potential suitors to her doorstep. The arrival of Jesper throws a major spanner in Kay’s chaotic, precariously functional work/life balance, causing things to spiral further out of control.
Characters break into song in this musical genre mash as they cross between a sombre, pared back Nordic Noir crime drama, and a colourful, soapy K-drama.
