I watched this series over the course of this week, and I must admit, I was left slightly underwhelmed with the ending.

I was enjoying it until then too. I liked that Elise displayed (what I think are) classic symptoms of Aspergers and yet her odd personality remained something they didn't try to diagnose onscreen.

The best thing is that these Swedish stories all seem to have good characters and stories (the ending notwithstanding), so I hope there's a second Swedish season of The Bridge that they convert for The Tunnel.



One thing too... since reading up on The Bridge, I really want to have a drive across it now. I know the crossing is expensive (40-odd Euros) but it looks amazing.

The French police HQ is the office I work in - Discovery park in sandwich, used to be the Pfizer buildings. The car park has a corner full of fake police cars smile

I like it a lot, great acting, good plot. However, what is disappointing is that yet again, the villains seem to be some flavour of Far Right Nazi type terrorists - the go-to safe baddies..

As opposed to who?

the WI?

thing is joking apart villains have to be relatable and as real as possible to pose that sense of threat. if it were say, a group of international financiers...that would be less relatable for many, or politicians perhaps...

i can;t wait to see it....hard to beleive Clemence Poesy was the schwing miss delacourt from Harry Potter and the goblet of fire

I know..

I guess it didn't help that I watched The Sum of all Fears a couple of days before..

Agree about Clemence Poesy, love her character.
