The Official 'The Bridge' Thread (NEW FX SHOW)

[TheNatureBoy]

2 episodes left and good news the show has been renewed for a second season

Now that the serial killer stuff is out of the way, I'm hoping the show can develop more as the article suggests.

I thought this episode was a return to form for the show now that the craziness of David Tate is out of the way. It went back to the things I liked most, the Sonya/Marco relationship, border issues, etc. I like where they are headed with Eva and the girls being exploited by the corrupt cops, factory manager. With the reporters sister working at the same place, I could see it tying in with her as well.

So nobody else watched this episode?

Seems like next season there will be more of a focus on the Mexico side, and the corruption there.

Hopefully we learn about Marco's comeup, how he went from the son of a guy in the drug game to cop.

The scene where dude realized how many people out there were looking for girls

it's been good so far. really picked up as its gone along. glad they focusing on different topics like the girls, the tunnel and all. the season finale should be. from the preview it looked like it was going to deal with the police corruption.

just watched the last episode

looks like they are setting up a couple storylines for next season.I hope they revisit "the beast" who is killing all the mexican girls at some point

i like the show,only storyline i could go without is the white lady with the tunnel...everything else has been good

thank god they toned down Sonya acting like a retard all the time.That shyt was really throwing me off and making me not like this show earlier on in the season

 

[TheNatureBoy]

I thought the finale was good, one thing that might be worrying is Marco going after Tate now. I thought they were done with that character and if it goes back to being silly, over the type stuff it could hurt the show. The Bridge really works best when dealing with the smaller moments and exploring the setting. Hopefully the writers are able to handle it well and Marco going down a darker path could be interesting.

They got the reporters little sister it looks like.

Marco going HAM on that cops face

Yeah I was hoping they were done with the Tate stuff. I really liked that Marco went at the corrupt cop. It kind of reminded me of Dexter/The Departed. The drug money in that old lady's house was intriguing too. Who knows where the money trail leads to. How many hands exchange money before its final destination. Dead girls, money laundering, euros, ATF guns, vacuum sealed packages, cops kidnapping civilians, corrupt cops investigating clean cops who ask drug lords for favors, mules, police looking the other way while informants break the law, trafficking through the back roads of the Valley of Texas, that crazy b*stard Linder... can't wait for the fukkery of season 2

 

[L68]

good finale that got me lookin foward to next season....

marco bout to break bad now that his kid got killed...galvan gonna be a major part of next season

 

[STAN JONES]

the finale was good but it felt more like a season premiere instead of a finale

they did set up a couple of interesting storylines for season 2 tho

Andy Greenwald who writes for Grantland and does a podcast has a discussion of the show and interview with one of the co-show runners. I would check it out.

Thought it was interesting that the creator of the show knew the serial killer plotline was the weakest part of the show.
