The Bridge - BBC4.
Discussion
Feels like this series is a bit 'preachy':
- Homophobe cop (against the gay Iranian/Iraqi character) NOT GOOD
- Effort for very ethnically mixed cast VERY GOOD
- Abortion being a main theme WOMAN'S CHOICE
None of this stuff is good/bad per se, but it tends (as is the case with so many BBC dramas) to put me off watching it as I think we can all decide our own views/morals without being told what is acceptable by a production team/writer with an agenda.
Overall still worth the watch, but not as good as earlier series....

You really cannot stop knocking the BBC can you? Do you think the BBC actually made this programme? Here's a clue: it's not in English.Blue One said:

Seriously? That's what you take from the show?- Homophobe cop (against the gay Iranian/Iraqi character) NOT GOOD

You mention an agenda, but picking up on those things probably says more about yours than that of the production team

Well if I didn't think it I would say it would I? You seem to have a problem with people voicing a POV and seem to have some disdain for mine. Fair cop, but thankfully we live in a society where we're still allowed our own viewpoint.You mention an agenda, but picking up on those things probably says more about yours than that of the production team
Quoting myself from Den Of Geek comments section...
"One thing I spotted at the baby shower party. The guy walking round with the video camera that had a red flashing light on the front. When Patrik Dahlqvist was killed, the figure he was shouting at held something with a red flashing light. So it's the same camera."
What do you think?

I noticed that too - supposedly left in Morgan Sonning's car and not seen since? "One thing I spotted at the baby shower party.

Saga explaining that she won her 911 in a bet was great

Want. Just so much want https://www.radiotimes.com/news/2018-06-12/sagas-s...
Sadly I don't have a spare couple of years salary or a heated garage to tuck it away in..

I can't find the pics I saw the other day, there were some really good ones on MSN news, it's a proper hard worked and worn car, not restored or anything.

Prepare for Astrid to be the next target!

Good ending to that, it was all tied up too early on to have the rest of the programme as a happy ending.
I'll miss that theme tune though https://youtu.be/nIFg-5rbnYg
A brilliant "Morph" into a nutter from the actor playing Kevin/Brian ( Elliott Crosset Hove) from mild mannered, insecure friend to crazy eye'd nutter in 1 hit !
Saga's a good shot too, no messing from her to end it this time !
In fact, in all, i think, the supporting cast has been absolutely brilliant this series, well cast, and sell acted, especially from the younger members.
The only think left hanging was why was Jonas leaking info to the press?
