The Bridge: Pilot (2013)
Too many deaths going unnoticed just across the border...time to see "The Bridge"
If you're in need for a new TV series to get caught on, sign-on "The Bridge": Juarez City is the infamous world epicenter of femicides, a town outgrown between the desert and the border were Det. Marco Ruiz (Oscar nominated for Best Actor for "A better life" in 2011, Demian Bichir) found a way to survive his career among policemen more than cozy with cartel bosses (one scene depicts his boss playing cards with a drug-lord surrounded by caged white tigers and plenty of bodyguards); Det. Sonya Cross (played by Diane Kruger as an awkward and slightly emotionally autistic character which fogs her amazing beauty) is the El Paso-by-the- book-cop. One dialogue between the two characters sums it all: (Ruiz) "She's one of them
the dead girls of Juarez
" (Cross) "
and no one tried to find out?"
