“It s a tremendous honour to win an Edgar and it s the first award I ve won for writing so it s been a nice feeling.”
“I genuinely hadn t expected that I might get the nod, especially in light of the competition in the category. I was just very happy to be nominated and hadn t even prepared any sort of speech so my surprise was quite genuine and my speech was subsequently quite ramshackle,” the writer recounted.

There is something soothing about watching television made wholly for a foreign audience. Not a foreign audience+Netflix. Not a foreign audience+PBS. Not a foreign audience+global cult comedy and/or sci-fi fans. Just, television not made with American audiences (or critics, or trending topic hot takes) top of mind. Not only is all the baggage that accompanies watching television made for a native audience absent, the pressure to participate in any hashtag watercooler conversations about it is rendered moot. As much as I love being intellectually, ideologically invested in the art made for my American eyeballs, getting a chance to let that all go and just enjoy a good serial story can be such a relief.
