In conversation with... Abi Morgan and Stellan Skarsgård on River and TV thrillers | BFI

The hugely popular writer of The Hour discusses her views on what makes a TV thriller tick and her highly original approach to her last thriller – River (BBC 2015). Hailed by critics as a breakthrough in the genre, in dramatizing the paranoid visions of River (the lead detective) it cleverly mixed delusions and reality and was remarkable for its unique synthesis of Scandi-noir and deep psychological analysis. River's star, Stellan Skarsgård, joins the discussion to share his experience of working on the show.
