By making a comparative textual analysis of the series, the article intends to emphasize the significance of ‘aesthetic proximity’ as a concept in discussing the global flow of television content and to reveal the challenges of adapting a scripted format which is stylistically different than the local stylistic conventions.engCreative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 GenericTurkish Police ProceduralsAesthetic Proximity791‘Aesthetic Proximity’ and Transnational TV Series: Adapting Forbrydelsen in the Turkish Contexthttp://doi.org/10.18146/view.19710.25969/mediarep/16250ForbrydelsenCinayet
