The Bridge, Bron/Broen, whatever
Discussion
Great series, it does get you thinking. I'm wondering if his son August and the girl he talks to on the messenger have got anything to do with it. The only iffy bit for me was when he got off with the widowed woman (can't remember names, the wiggy woman) right after having his plums kicked to bits and having his vasectomy stitches put back together.
Frida the ex? That would be interesting. Saga's asperger's is treated with a light touch & used to comedic effect, which balances out the tension a fair bit. One or two oh come off it! moments last weekend, notably Daniel Ferbê's death was a bit James Bond for me & when they start discussing how it might be a copper, they stick up pictures of various coppers, in an open office, with people wandering in & out!
Minor quibbles though. Really enjoying this show.

Damned good stuff.
The realism is enhanced (as someone has said already) by the fact that the actors in this were not the fodder or 'safe-hands' that infest and infect our own rubbish...
Same old faces (luvvies) in the UK in everything, the incestuous nature of UK TV casting is the reason for its decay.
UK TV (like pop) will eat itself.
The quality shows through in this and other Nordic dramas I've watched.
The BBC is now hopelessly entwined in a network of luvvies of its own making... in short, it's f
ked, they couldn't make something like 'The Bridge' even if the entire corporations future rested on it.

Come on, be fair. The Beeb have (had) Silent Witness, Waking the Dead, etc. (Let's forget about New Tricks). It's ITV that are letting us down - Vera, Lewis, Midsomer bl**dy Murders - although Scott and Bailey's not too bad. Someone please recommission the Inspector Rebus stories.The realism is enhanced (as someone has said already) by the fact that the actors in this were not the fodder or 'safe-hands' that infest and infect our own rubbish...
