This chapter presents an inquiry into Danish children’s and adolescents’ media habits and preferences when it comes to fictional screen content, with a specific focus on the role Danish content and platforms play in relation to this. The inquiry reveals a strong preference for and large consumption of US content on global streaming platforms and, when it comes to specific fictional screen content, the children clearly favour US films and series over those from Denmark or elsewhere; and when asked to rate specific films and series, they favour genre-driven titles over titles with a “higher” artistic or cultural value. This leads us to argue that on the global streaming platforms, Danish children and adolescents find an abundance of what to them is high-quality content that feels more relevant than domestic content.
