Abstract

The purpose of this article is to discuss the concept of quality TV series in the context of Latvian film history and contemporary practice. Lately, the so-called quality TV series have been extremely successful, especially when it comes to the series offered by global streaming companies. Contemporary TV series made in Latvia have not been noticed internationally yet, although there are examples in the history of Latvian cinema that confirm that Latvian filmmakers have created quality series as early as the 1980s. What is a high-quality series in the context of modern Latvian cinema and why have the traditions of making quality series been lost?
