THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST TV SERIES IN RECENT YEARS! The Bridge is another example of the achievement of the much praised “Nordic Noir” with first class production values, a great script and a fine team of actors. The Swedes and the Danes combine to give us a Wallander/ Killing joint front that blows contemporary British thrillers out of the water.
The body of a woman is found in the middle of the Øresund Bridge. Half of it belongs to a Swedish politician, the other half to a Danish prostitute. Trapped in the middle of the bridge connecting Sweden and Denmark, a bi-national investigatory team is put together to solve the crime. Laid-back Danish family man, Martin, and Swedish single woman, Saga, have to work together to stop the horrific staged murders before the terrorist wins over public opinion with his anti-corruption agenda.
