Lisette Pagler as Anita/Mimi in Äkta människor |
Despite sharing the same premise and most of the same characters, the Swedish Äkta människor is very different from the British Humans. When analysing the Swedish show, consider: what changes were made to make the show appeal to a British target audience, beyond the language? What choices were made when casting the actors in both versions? Why did Channel 4 choose to make Humans darker and 'edgier' than Äkta människor while also toning down the nudity, sex and violence? Which version of the show do you prefer, and why?
