It's got several elements that are intriguing, and some good characters and relationships, but it also has a weird number of threads that have little connection to the whole and don't seem to be going anywhere in particular. And I can't say I much liked where they took the central mystery, even though some aspects of it worked for me. <br /><br />BUT, I really, really like Demian Bichir's character and Diane Kruger's Sonya has quite grown on me. I wasn't sure what to make of her at first, but I've come to like the character and the performance quite a bit. Marco and Sonya's dynamic is a good one, and I am sort of intrigued to see where the show goes over these last few episodes. It has unexplored potential, and I'm curious to see what they do with it.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-63002516852562151312013-09-24T09:11:00.981-04:002013-09-24T09:11:00.981-04:00The US remake is called The Bridge and it is curre...The US remake is called <i>The Bridge</i> and it is currently showing here as well. I loved the pilot, but cooled on it a bit as it went on. The last few episodes are sitting on my DVR unwatched. I will most likely watch them at some point, but it quickly fell from grace.<br /><br />The other show that happened with was <i>Roy Donovan</i>. I really liked the first couple of episodes, but it got old quickly and I have a large number of episodes sitting on my DVR as well. They will, most likely, sit there for some time as I am in no hurry to watch the end.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-31639352711931206642013-09-24T08:57:55.422-04:002013-09-24T08:57:55.422-04:00Thanks ChrisB - I have/had no idea how things are ...Thanks ChrisB - I have/had no idea how things are televised/shown/streamed in the states and had totally missed the review of The fall (which was written during my vacation when I really don't watch that much TV).<br />I did realize that I've totally forgotten the best thing to come out of Sweden recently - the ten-part miniseries "The Bridge (Bron)"<br />If you can watch in subtitled somewhere - do. It's NOT about a serial killer as such, I'll say that much. <br />It's been getting remakes as well. I think the US-Mexican-version is "The Border". Not sure if UK/French-version "The tunnel" is on yet. <br />Well worth the watch, the character of "Saga Norén" takes some getting used to but is really excellently portrayed by Sofia Helin. You have to watch it to know what I'm talking about.

I have added it to my list. <i>Black Mirror</i> is not yet available in the US for some odd reason although I have heard about it from my UK friends.<br /><br /><i>Broadchurch</i> is just winding down here (we find out whodunnit this week) and I have loved it. I am so pleased a second series is in the works. <i>Top of the Lake</i> was astonishing; another show I just loved.<br /><br />As for <i>The Fall</i>, we all fell for it (sorry). I raved about it and Billie reviewed it (http://www.douxreviews.com/2013/06/the-fall.html). This is the one series that I recommend when people ask me about the best of the best of this year.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-54728867897398366392013-09-24T02:48:53.833-04:002013-09-24T02:48:53.833-04:00It was my utter and complete pleasure ChrisB.

Don't mention it.<br /><br />By the way - somebody recently asked about good shows to watch (and somebody else recommended The booth at the end which I've since watched and am quite fascinated by, thankyou person-who-I-don't-remember-who-it-was).<br />I can recommend these: Black mirror, Broadchurch (with an David Tennant), Top of the lake (with Elisabeth Moss of Mad men) and The Fall (with Gillian Andersson). <br />These may, or may not, get you through Breaking Bad-withdrawal a week from now.Henrik Bennetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12646513358412600648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-504221421281019162013-09-24T01:09:06.387-04:002013-09-24T01:09:06.387-04:00That video is hilarious!
