US: The Bridge (US version)

[rotters]

I watched the scandinavian version of this on bbc3 last year and it was brilliant. I was a bit wary of an american version but after episode one, i'm happy to report its good. looking forward to the rest of it again.

I had no idea this was being remade. I'll have to check out. The original was great.

their was another US Remake by the same name The Bridge, as for "the bridge 2013" I too have watch it and it does indeed look very promising. but only time will tell if it will succeed or flop.

LIke the OP, I too watched the original Scandinavian version and was a little wary of a US remake, but the first episode was pretty decent. Plus Diane Kruger is a bonus. I could quite happily watch a race between drying paint and growing grass if Diane Kruger was involved.

Episode 2 is very good too. The bar scene is just funny the second time around, first time i was like uh ok...straight to the point.

Just finished the season 2 finale and surprised this hasn't had more traction on here. I've loved every episode and it's a darker change of pace from most shows currently airing. Granted i've never seen the original, i thought the UK version was so so but the US one is excellent.

I think the bridge is very under rated, I'm really enjoying it and diane kruger plays her role very well.

Try the danish version best show I've watched in the last couple of years.

Currently on ep 9/10 in season 1 and everyone i've talked to said season 2 was even better.

Strange how quickly you get used to subtitles, hearing Dutch everyday at work helps though.
