Karsa Orlong Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Did anyone else watch this new Scandinavian crime drama at the weekend? Usual BBC4 thing: two episodes each Saturday night. It starts with a body found on a bridge on the border between Sweden and Denmark. I didn't think I was going to like it at first, because I thought the lead actress wasn't very good, but then I realised why that was and I started to really enjoy it. Very funny in places, too. Episode 2 is repeated tonight, episode 1 and 2 are on iPlayer.

Karsa Orlong Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 I have to wonder what George Galloway's doing playing a Danish detective, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophelia Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I watched the first two episodes and will catch up on the next two via I-player. Really enjoying it so far and am wondering how some of the characters will fit into the story (Social worker; the woman married to the heart transplant patient etc). I'm sure all will become clear soon I thought that the Martin looked like George Galloway, too, Karsa. I also thought he bore a passing resemblance to George Best when he smiled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali9321 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Yup, I'm really enjoying this series. Flicked onto it as I loved the Yellowbird Wallander's that were on Beeb 4 and had heard good things about The Killing but missed it. The Bridge hasn't disappointed so far - looking forward to next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickle Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Phew found the spoiler, its been ages since I have said anything worth spoiling I find the older son of Martin an interesting character I am sure there is more involving him he is definitely suspicious especially as the would be killer (if it was him) knew to kick him where he was cornered in the abandoned warehouse I bet a lot of men winced when that happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali9321 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Thanks Pickle for the help... I'm with you on thinking that the son has something more to be revealed Also agree that when the guy kicked him even tho I guess it's the obvious place I thought it had to be someone who knew how debilitating it would be at that time. Didn't make a connection between the two tho but makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidsmum Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Have got this on the Sky box but haven't got round to watching any of them yet as we're still trying to catch up on other things we've recorded, good to see that everyone is enjoying it though.

Karsa Orlong Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Watched the final two episodes last night. Damn, that was good! That scene at the end, beneath the bridge, was so powerful, so sad, and I loved the way everything came full circle, to Martin's philandering and Saga's inability to tell a lie. I guessed August would be involved somehow, but that was so, so sad. I felt a bit lost when it ended. I could quite happily have sat through more episodes.

pickle Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 It was brilliant wasn't it, I loved that they weren't afraid to not go all Hollywood and have August not survive. they mentioned something about a 2 parter next week, any ideas what??

Karsa Orlong Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 they mentioned something about a 2 parter next week, any ideas what?? It's called 'Sebastian Bergman': "The Cursed, Part 1 Brilliant, difficult and politically incorrect, Sebastian Bergman is one of Sweden's leading police profilers. His life and and career are on the skids when he returns to his home town, two weeks late for his mother's funeral but just in time to help the local police solve the brutal murder of a 15-year-old boy." http://www.bbc.co.uk...rammes/b01jg0nt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 I'm doing my impression of the Necromancer and resurrecting this thread Much excitement when I saw the trailer on tv the other night http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX1y5kGZcHc Starts 4th January on BBC4 (in HD!). They're also repeating season 1 over Christmas, starting next Monday. 'Twas the best thing on tv last year, imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karsa Orlong Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Oh Saga, how I've missed you! Some priceless moments in those first two episodes And poor Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pixie Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 So behind with TV... Love this show, particularly Saga and her single-minded pursuit of justice and how she tries so hard to fit in. Poor Martin indeed. Hmm, I wonder who`s behind it all - the husband of the Green company woman who`s so obviously having an affair with the sister ?

Karsa Orlong Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hmm, I wonder who`s behind it all - the husband of the Green company woman who`s so obviously having an affair with the sister ? You mean the sister who tried to get her sister to have sex with a male escort whom she'd had sex with herself? Nothing worrying about that at all . . . Plus, wasn't the sister Brix's girlfriend in The Killing? She's got no shame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Steve - I couldn`t work out where I`d seen her before and forgot to look it up. I bet Danish Equity has about 10 members in all.
