TV Series Worth Watching.

Another one to throw into the mix .....

The Bridge

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2406376/

Quote:Two detectives work together to take down a serial killer operating on both sides of the Texas-Chihuahua border.

Marco Ruiz is a homicide investigator for the state of Chihuahua, Mexico living in Ciudad Juárez. A family man, Marco is one of the last good men in a corrupt and apathetic police force that is out-gunned by the powerful drug cartels. He's sharp, charming, and observant and painfully aware that his city is in a state of chaos. When a body is dumped on the bridge that spans the El Paso-Ciudad Juárez border, Ruiz is forced to work with his American counterpart, "Detective Sonya Cross."

I tried to watch the original Danish series of this. But, just like 'The Killing' it was subtitled and if there is one thing I can't stand it is subtitles, unless of course it is used within programmes for emphasis.

This won't spoil it, but just incase you do wonder if Sonya is 'away with the faries', she isn't - she has aspergers. The casting is very good and the original series won many plaudits. Much in the same way 'The Killing USA' was extremely enjoyable I found this a really good watch too. Whilst it feels a 'slow burner' at times, that is because alongside the main plot there are several subplots we visit which slowly become entwined.
The first episode is a fantastic piece of writing. Worth watching just for that.
