The Bridge

Scandinavians are just too good when it comes to crime/mystery shows. No doubt the gloomy atmosphere of the region makes this easier. Incredibly thrilling, brilliant storyline, interesting characters and decent acting. Bron/Broen is simply outstanding.

It flirts with your suspension of disbelief but never becomes complacent. Great characters and a very entertaining affair to binge. Recommended!

S1 - 69 It starts quite slow but comes together quite nicely after a few episodes. The biggest problem is that it's shot in the dark & also very low lighting with very little colour. Even daytime, inside office etc is poorly lit. Else I would have rated this higher.

S1 3/10 DNF. Weak acting and terrible script.

Held my interest although convoluted overall and nonsensical in parts. Also, what's with these Sheldon type characters? A highly intelligent and observant officer but even after a long policing career is unable to apply these skills to understanding the most basic rules of human relationships! I'm sure in another decade or so these post Rain Man characters will be looked back on as 'acceptable at the time'.

The Bridge started out as just another crime series. But following Saga Norén's character development really made the series special. Even after Martin left the series, Henrik filled the hole arguably even better and created new interesting storylines. The Bridge ended in a satisfying (and the correct) way, closing the story incredibly well.

1. sezon

ilk sezonu 95 ikinci sezon 80

Two first seasons would be a higher rating.

In order: 60/70/80/70 = 70.
