A new show from Norway: www.imdb.com/title/tt7468900/ I couldn't find a video with english subtitles.. The lead is played by Tobias Santelmann (who also played a gay character in Marcella). I think the show premiered on November 2nd 2017 in Norway and it'll be available in my country on Netflix from March 6th but I'm not sure about when it'll premiere in other countries.. |

Which country are you from? Ah, sorry. I'm from Denmark, so a lot of you are probably from other countries.  But great to hear it'll be available other places on March 6th as well, anthonyl  |

Is there another gay there? Yes, there is gidi Nikolai is in a relationship (I believe) with Kristoffer. (He's in 7 of 8 episodes - or so it says on imdb). |

Finished watching.
They flip the usual script for a detective drama by having the main character spend most of his time trying to cover up a crime, rather than solving it. It's an interesting dynamic.
Great to see a queer protagonist treated identically to how a straight protagonist on a similar show would be. Often queer characters have some kind of plot point or story element hinging on their queerness.
Does anybody knows if there's going to be a season 2?

It's on netflix worldwide. They've translated as Borderliner. |

All the plot twists !  I hope there will be a season 2 but I haven't heard anything about it yet. |

I just finished the show, goshhh...I hope they will give us season 2, they cant leave us like that. I quite enjoyed the show despite some plotholes, its very fresh to see a gay main character trying to cover up a murder. Its like HTGAWM and Eyewitness combo to me.

So he's not a good guy or morally grey like other detectives but a criminal. A gay criminal. |

How many gay main and side characters, reality and overall TV personalities are there on original Danish TV and Scandinavian crossovers? From the Anglo-English international perspective gay protagonists are extremely rare. Shockingly I know next to nothing about Denmark. In media I consume Scandinavia, lumped all in one, serves mostly as example of social utopia, source of Nordic Noir and in lists of examples for the far right resurgence in Europe.

Well, Denmark is a small country and there's not many people living in Scandinavia compared to other places and countries in the world. Norway did also create 'Skam' so they're definitely doing better in regards to creating gay characters in TV series being shown to the rest of the world. There's a reason why I watch shows from the US and the UK.. not sure if it's a good thing Scandinavia "serves mostly as example of social utopia, source of Nordic Noir and in lists of examples for the far right resurgence in Europe" but I guess it could be worse? Other countries are not doing great either with far right politics and politicians...  just sitting here, waiting for the world to implode any minute now. |

I know Denmark had registered partnerships first in Europe but marriage relatively late. The UK has decent gay representation across most media. So if there are a few gay villains or negative stereotypes they don't weight too heavily. In other countries with far fewer examples and role models in media those bad gays always gnaw away at the overall acceptance of real live gay people. Usually the lists depending on national and political spin start with Trump, Brexit, Orban, Erdogan and Front National, AfD, PiS and now Lega, sometimes Modi. Occasionally those lists will reference far right groups in Scandinavia. |
