    Storyline

    Edit
    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." —Ronald Craig

    • Trivia
      Showrunner Elwood Reid said that they have a specialist 'autism consultant' (Alex Plank) for Diane Kruger's character, Sonia. He is on set and will comment on every script and episode.
    • Goofs
      Sonia's Bronco has Texas Exempt (Government Agency) plates. Since she owns it (it was her dead sister's) and it is not a department-owned vehicle, it would have normal civilian plates, not government plates.

    7/10
    [6.5] A sad and insipid compote and mock-up
    People involved in creation of remakes or based on series / movies often forget that they don't have or need to do it in the first place if they don't possess the true material and right script / storylines for doing so, being capable to do justice to the often bright original version and its exclusive and right atmosphere.

    We have a series that fails on all accounts in regard to the original, shouldn't have been named The Bridge and shouldn't have been (falsely) based on the awesomly successful Swedish-Danish version and production.

    • It lacks the cold, rightly done, grimmy, menacing and dark atmosphere and vibe of the original
    • It lacks the brilliant diamond-like play and portrayal of the original female lead investigator that won't be mimicked or surpassed for a long long time. With all respect, Diane Kruger doesn't pull off an epsilone of that.
    • It lacks the very good cast and acting of the original
    • It has an awful and bizarre opening sequence soundtrack, not being of interest and not contributing to the show
    • It has a messed up script and story with lots of fillers, blood and (unsuccessful) violence depicting the American-Mexican mishmash
    • To its credit: It has some good acting, mainly by Demián Bichir (Marco Ruiz) and Eric Lange (Kenneth Hastings)
    • To its credit: It has some entertaining values letting it flow mindlessly before your eyes, episode by episode, until its jumbled ending
    • To its credit: Very good for practising the Spanish language and idioms


    To wrap it up in one sentence, a forgettable series with latin vibes and culture, best put back on the shelves and have a restart of the nostalgic Bron/Broen.

    FAQ1

    • Is the plot basically the same as the original Danish programme with the same name?
