N2 - TV series and films stemming from the United States and other English-speaking countries, like the UK and Australia, have become the new norm for Danish children. They enjoy the high production values of commercial US material, and have an overall preference for genre-driven storytelling, which is more predominant in the Anglo-American content. This is not a new phenomenon, given the popularity of shows like Friends and Beverley Hills 90210 among today’s children’s parents. What is new is that under-18s are much less exposed to Danish films and series than in the past, due to free access to all the Anglo-American films and series they want on streaming platforms such as Netflix.
