The Bridge (2011–2018)
10/10
On Top of the Scand-noir Pops
4 July 2019
I loved Bron from the start and I still do.

The intensity in which Bron pulled me in has left a lasting impression on me.

Even when I watched all 4 seasons carefully, I found myself going back to the best episodes to truly take everything in. Brilliant!

You can tell that the makers thought of every single last detail. Nothing is wasteful and every episode is incredibly complex. It'd be hard to watch the series without getting invested. The show indeed features raw humanity and realism. I surprised myself during watching this series because I found myself adoring even anti-heros/select villians.

What impressed me the most about the show is the way Saga Nóren is portrayed. Incredible acting makes for a very likelike experience. You get the feeling that you indeed know Saga, like she's in your life, in your workplace. You start to connect with the characters emotionally and their joy becomes yours, their struggles become yours as well.

I'm fascinated by the unpredictability as well. You end up, at a twist or turn, frantically guessing whether *wicked plot turn* really IS to take place. It's a real thrill.

However, this show doesn't work if you're watching it half-heartedly, let's say, with your phone by your side. You have to give it time and give it attention, really letting the magic unfold. Then I'd say you're truly going to enjoy it fully like I did.

Scand-noir is already an incredible genre, and this title certainly does nothing to spoil it.
