[Closed] The Bridge 3

Good grief no - when /what side?

DOH, thought it started NEXT weekend! Runs off to Iplayer to watch........

😉

Last series was excellent imo!

It's OK. I miss Martin through. He was good at reining in Saga's excentricities.

Loved the first 2. Not watched last nights though. Will get them done in the week.

Never seen it before, but watched the first couple of episodes of series 3 last night.
I'm not quite sure what to make of it, but I think I had my fill of psychotic female leads halfway through S2 of Homeland.
I guess it may lose something in translation.

Wasn't impressed. Saga's little eccentricities are now far too blatant. I laughed out loud when she did a pantomome double take at the same time as trying to look confused. It's as if she's now a cyborg replicant being taught emotions.
Do you want a hug?

The hug bit was great 🙂
I also liked being "a bit Swedish" being an insult in Denmark.

I really enjoyed the first two seasons, I think I'll enjoy the third too, although it's definitely weird Martin not being there

I've just finished watching season 2 of Arne Dahl - another good series if people aren't already aware!

No Martin!? He was a brilliant character and a great foil for Saga. I'll give S3 a go so long as she still has her Porsche.

I do miss Martin, but still fancy Saga.

I might of been looking forward to it to much as I thought it lacked a little. Some great plots, what is her new partner and his wife all about???

Still brilliant though

Is The Bridge something I can start in series 3 without having seen the previous 2 series?

Yes. All you need to know is that Martin was her old partner who she shopped for mudder.

I think I agree with suburbanreuben, but it's good anyway. New guy looks interesting, blatantly some shexy timesh ahead. not uncomplicated for sure.

Thanks. We might try and watch the first two series anyway, need to find out which streaming service thingy it's on.

Wasn't impressed. Saga's little eccentricities are now far too blatant.

This. They seem to be milking this for all it's worth.

First two seasons are on Netflix

Please, no spoilers .....
V excited here...

Only watched the 1st episode last night. Suffering the usual issues with a returning series where one of the principles has been left behind and you have to get used to new characters. Sure it'll be splendid.

Sofia Helen has been on radio quite a bit the last few weeks. Seems an interesting woman.

I miss Martin too, but the OH and I thought it was a promising start. The two police bosses are clearly going to be bigger players in this series and I especially like him.

But now after Paris it seems mainstream.

I am disappoint.

Suburbanreuben +1 it was like a cross between spock and Arnie

Ridiculous acting

Story seems a good one, but it was a hammy performance

The porsche is lovely though

Agree it's not quite as sharp as the original, Sofia Helin acting like saga norin where as in the first series, she was saga

Well, i just caught up with S3:E2, and i think i'm hooked. It's a bit different, perhaps a bit more obvious acting in places (esp. from Saga) but the plot is already complex, fast paced and grabbing!

Can also recommend 'Beck' as a good nordic noir crime drama. Agree that Bridge 3 has started well.

Loved it and very glad it's back. Didn't notice the "over acting" I think you may just be used to how she reacts in certain situations. The new partner mix is going to be intriguing, as in S1/2 it was Martin's chaotic life v Saga ordered one. Now she has a partner who is very organised but has very unconventional relationship.

I don't like her mum, cracking episode, love the way the roll mop herrings get introduced to confuse

I've given up on this. It's unwatchable.
But then I have been watching the first couple of episodes of Spiral series 3, which is a hard act to follow.

Just catching up on episode 3. What he did with that vacuum cleaner made me squeal! 😆

Gosh, i DID not see that one coming! (end of EP4) 😀

Am I supposed to recognise who the missing lady / family is?

It's Henriks wife / family........He's been doing a "River" (talking to the dead). That's why she keeps encouraging him to find a girl, move on.

Glad I saw Episode 4 last night, classic Saga hitting on people for sex.

I have no idea what was in the bag or why he did it like that, what is going on with the housing woman and her young lover

Excellent stuff

There is some overacting, she comes across as very robotic now, rather than just bordering inhumane.

Enjoying it, despite missing the Herrings.

I think it is a reaction to what is happening in her life. Stress of her mum, dad dying, her boss being kidnapped the case some people develop a twitch she goes a bit manic with the eyes.

Perhaps I've been a little hasty...

doing a 'river'

He sees dead people?

There's a lot going on, feels like it skims over the top of a lot of stories at once, thought the same of B2. But it keeps interesting.

Just watched episode 4. The meaning of that cold case file took a moment to sink in then a genuine wtf moment. I did wonder why when he turned the kids to off in e3 they didn't complain.

I was getting ready for a disappointment - Martin Rhode gone. Such brilliant stories in B1 and B2 which they could never match again.

Pleased to report that B3 is fabulous. Enjoying learning more about Saga. Loving the story. Not often I would watch drama live (rather than recording for later consumption) but am looking forward to Ep 5 tomorrow.

Wonderful stuff.

God this is good isn't it!! 🙂

intriguing isn't the word..........

2 amazing episodes this weekend, the bit between Saga and Henrik at his house was so sad. Brilliant television and storytelling.

Yep this series is brilliant. Really enjoying it. The Aspergers is a bit OTT at times though.

What did you think of the last season of Arne Dahl? I was a bit disappointed. I was really looking forward to some more intrigue with that cleaner guy!

I think Hendrik is the killer-

He has an evil moustache/beard combo

2 episodes to go, place your bets, place your bets!

I'm pretty sure it isn't a woman, but other than that **** knows! 😀

Are there any characters from episode one who aren't dead? If so, it was them 🙂

Why was Claes Sandberg holding a spade when he met Freddie Holsts wife outside his flat? I think he's killed Annika Melander?

It was brilliant tonight!

Only 5 more sleeps til Bridge-mas! Surely Claes' shovel is a red herring?

Regarding sideplots - so who was the exhumed skeleton in the mortuary? Saga's sister? With the no broken bones bit meaning she didn't actually die falling in front of a train? Or one of Henrik's missing family?...

We never watched series 1, so DVD purchased ready for post-Christmas Saturday evenings.

Undertaking burd... you heard it here.

nah, too obvious, surely!

Probably but why else is she in it?

I thought it was Claes this morning but it is to obvious, dont want anything bad to happen to Janette and the baby. Who is trying to frame Saga?

I quite like Freddy 😆

So so so good

It's been another brilliant series and the Saga story with her mum is superb. Loving it yet again.

On,so where can I find series 2 to view on line?

Btw I reckon it's the art museum guy,but I'm still at episode 7

What happened to the vlogger?

Seasons 1 & 2 both on Netflix.

Finale tonight. Really hoping it doesn't disappoint. Really hoping Henrick doesn't turn out to be a bad apple. We need a happy ending for Saga!

The bridge doesn't do happy endings!

Can't wait!

In wittingly I did a big ride today and the Mrs is out with the kids in the morning giving me a lie in. As she doesn't like subtitles to I usually watch it on sky plus recorded, but I think tonight has late night viewing with a bottle of Christmas Port written all over it.

Early flight tomorrow so I'll have to wait until I'm back to get the last part.

Secret santa bought me a few ales yesterday so I'm in for the 2 hour long haul.

I reckon it was the security guard that was found wandering in the field, he self inflicted the wounds

Great ending, now onto the next adventure

I did shit the bed at one point near to the end 😯

Wow. Feel a bit emotionally drained right now.

Awesome ending, for The Bridge that goes down as happy and upbeat. Excellent telly.

That was a great ending, nice and enigmatic too

Here's a picture to keep us going. She doesn't look like herself when she smiles.

Well if there's not a series 4 being written *right now* I fear I may go full psycho and lock the production team in a basement.

Great stuff. For anyone that hasn't seen it yet: great stuff.

Utterly brilliant but did I miss something?

SPOILER ALERT!!!

I didn't get why/how Freddie Holst was the killer's father by Anna-Marie Larsson via the AI clinic. Presumably Freddie donated sperm anonymously (why?) but why did the killer's mother have AI in the first instance and then he wound up in the care home?

I just didn't get the link with the first woman he killed who was Morten Anker's mother who was supposed to be the killer's brother but she wasn't the killer's mother (or was she?).

The plot had so many twists and turns and sub-plots I got a bit confused, especially watching it over 5 weeks.

Could you cut your wrists with a paper clip?

Great stuff, just bought all three series for part of the wife's Christmas present!

Do we know what's replacing it?
Please be Spiral, please be Spiral, please be Spiral.

An interesting juxtaposition of Saga when you watch / listen to Sofia speak. It seems so wrong!

There was a trailer to Hinterland? starting in January

Another brilliant series and I wonder what's going happen next in The Bridge 4.

That was absolutely superb. I was gripped! I'm really chuffed it wasn't a disappointing ending.

One to watch in the new year - Deutscheland 83.
