The Bridge (FX)

[danni8910]

so far so good. serialized show are meant to be short.

2 season the most.

you drag too long people lost interest.

from Source

showrunners Elwood Reid said season 2 would be going to get into different crime stories, kind of like the wire did

the wire happened to have 5 seasons , wonder the bridge could manage how many seasons

 

[danni8910]

guess they hv too. serialised cop show solving single crime in one season is not very popular for amerikan viewers. however, overseas non-u.s. viewers r cool with dat. dexter no count as it's a hybrid show.

the killing, season 3 juz ended. this show got a miraculous renewal after a cancellation. but will it see a season 4? probably not. gotta see how the new cop show, low winter sun premiering next week performs.

anyhow, the bridge has not been renewed yet. but it shld be a done deal soon. unless...

didn't like the killing whether original or remake, find the cast & the pace bore

haven't watch low winter sun, but from comments it is a slow burn series & might have problem to hook people early

no " unless... " lah or else i would have one less drama to chase

 

[mgsten]

me no watch the original scandinavian series. and usually not into cop shows. kinda regret acquiring the u.s. version. and now me hear abt renewal buzz for season 4!!! wah lao!!! cancel the show already.

low winter sun, er... saw the pilot, think watch the bridge (u.s. version) better. me owned all amc scripted dramas and low winter sun will be the first not in my collection.

me always prepared ppl for the inevitable. so can go find new tv shows mah. there should be 50-60 new shows starting to row out next month. sure got something to watch wan.

'The Bridge' renewed for Season 2 by FX - Sep 24, 2013
http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2013/09/the-bridge-renewed-for-season-2-by-fx.html

"We've been blown away by the compelling performances of Demian Bichir and Diane Kruger and the writing of Meredith Stiehm, Elwood Reid and their team, and are thrilled to be able to continue this journey for another season," Eric Schrier, president of original programming for FX Networks and FX Productions, says. "We look forward to continuing our partnership with Rich Ross, Carolyn Bernstein and everyone at Shine America."

TVLine’s Performer of the Week: Matthew Lillard - TVLine - SEP 14, 2013

Lillard’s two scenes this week were the gin-soaked cherry on top of a terrific season of work. In the first, an off-the-wagon Daniel comes clean to his coworker Adriana (Emily Rios, Breaking Bad) about his involvement in the hit-and-run death of Big Bad David Tate’s wife and son. Drunk and emotional, he tells Adriana that she is his only friend. We were left awe-struck by Lillard’s capacity to take Daniel to rock bottom, show true remorse for his mistakes, and then, almost wordlessly, realize how far he has fallen.
The next time we see Daniel, he’s at an AA meeting, thanking another participant for making his own life seem less depressing. This scene allows Lillard to show off his comedic skills, and then transition at break-neck speed into a blubbering mess. In that moment, we feel deeply for Daniel, making his kidnapping and possible murder by Tate all the more heartbreaking. If there’s one character we most want to see cross The Bridge into greener pastures, it’s Daniel Frye — and that’s all thanks to Lillard’s performance.

Can anyone tell me in the original version, did both leads (Sonya and Marco for the US version) ended up in bed eventually?

It's a slow burner slow but some how compelling to watch till the credits roll!

BTW, this character in the show is a total bada$$!
He looks like a typical sinkie uncle somemore...

sort of surprise, the pilot is really fun

for me, my view would be witches of east end is more of adventure & magic while coven more of acting & drama ; originals more of warfare

no glue, don't bother ; better to watch those that interest you
