Jämförelse genom textanalys - undersöker Äkta människor


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?
