The Bridge, Bron/Broen, whatever
Discussion
Don't worry mate, I wouldn't spoil it, it's more of a teaser to get others interested in giving it a go. I'm not sure what it is about these Scandinavian crime shows, but I'm a complete convert. The main female character in this one is fascinating, and the bloke is a great foil for her too.
Wife and I started this on Sat via iplayer, enjoying it so far (no spoilers please).
Was a bit confused about when it was set with the 70's porn star and 80's Porsche and the mobile phones. Just going for quirky characters and settings.
Is the US remake of the Killing any good? saw it on Netflix but couldn't find the original version.

I've not seen the US remake of The Killing, and I have no idea how good/bad it is, but I can think of only one reason as to why it was made, i.e. a cynical attempt to cash in on the successor the original by remaking it in a format suitable for people too lazy to be bothered to read subtitles.
Which personally I don't think to be anywhere near good enough. The original is superb, why nt watch that instead of some American derivative?

I started watching the american version of the killing, got about 6 episodes in when the beeb started repeating the Danish version. Got totally hooked on the original and never saw the end of the american one... nuff said! If you haven't seen the original, the american is not bad at all, just not a patch on the real thing.
Enjoying The Bridge too. May have to learn Danish/Swedish with all the Scandinavian TV and film I seem to be watching.

O/T I can highly recommend Headhunters - Norwegian black comedy. No spoilers, but well worth a look if you get the chance.
Fully recommend Headhunters.The Samuarai wierdo properly freaks me out - don't think it is the main perp as he seems to be quite simple and have massive memory blanks!
