The article discusses the phenomenon of Slow TV, illustrated by the success of Sweden's Great Moose Migration live stream, which garnered significant viewership. This genre, which began in Norway, offers viewers a tranquil alternative to traditional television, with no music or scripting. Unlike typical reality shows that often provoke frustration, Slow TV aims to deliver relaxation and leisure. It appeals to those longing for simplicity in a fast-paced world, helping to unwind and appreciate nature at its own pace.
"Only, for the past week, it's not my WhatsApp, email or social media I've been desperate to check, but how many moose have managed to swim across the Angerman river overnight."
"Watching television was always supposed to be relaxing but rarely is these days... Staff of Swedish TV station SVT... can see that he's gaslighting her? HELLO?"
"Slow TV, a marathon event, shown in real time, in its entirety, is filling that gap and helping us unwind. There is no music, no script, no narration, no editing."
"For those of us craving a gentler pace of life, slow TV is a balm... the BBC's Mortimer and Whitehouse."
