The Bridge Season 2
H**R
Flawed, But a Lot of Fun
If you're a highly astute and critical viewer you can find things in every episode which don't quite make sense. Nevertheless, this was a really good series and a lot of fun to watch. I grew to care about the characters; perhaps because most were neither all good nor all bad. They were shades of gray and exhibited human flaws. This made them all the more real and believable to me.Minor Spoiler Alert *** For example, the "good guys" capture a corrupt Mexican cop with a history of rape and murder. So what do they do? Brutally torture him for information and then kill him. Not really what good guys do.I was a little disappointed that in Season 2 Sonya's asperger's syndrome seemed to clear up. In Season 1 it made her a more interesting character, watching her struggle with social awkwardness, grasping to find the right words and display the right emotions.

Not way to Juaez
Great story following up on season 1. Life in El Paso, Texas with its characters that are all slightly over the edge. Thin line between cop and criminal at times they go back and forth. The life in Juarez creeps over into El Paso and keeps the audience on the edge. Not your everyday cop show very unpredictable keeps interest at a high pace. All characters in the show are far from the norm which makes it very griping and interesting. One of a handful of shows that I can binge watch. The tiny female cop is a very captivating character that is played very well. Having been to Juarez back in the early1970's it re enforces a strong feeling to never return.

OUTFOXED
I just can not understand how Fox could cancel this series; reminds me of what someone once said about no one ever going broke underestimating the taste of the public...guess I will spend more time reading books until the Americans returns for the next season...I enjoy viewing this as I pick up nuances that escaped me when the series first aired; just a great ensemble of actors in a kaildescope of roles ....

Must See for Serious Viewing Fans
The Bridge is an amazingly engrossing series with deep roots in the Texas soul. What a surprise that the original story is based upon a Scandinavian series. I was hooked once I viewed the first episode of Season One and am forever sorry that there were only two seasons to enjoy. Can't complain when so much goodness is packed into a small package, but don't blame me for wanting more :)

BUT the excellent acting made up for all of that grimness
The more light that was shone into the darkness the more darkness was revealed ~ a nihilistic story about corruption in high and low places on both sides of the border, BUT the excellent acting made up for all of that grimness.

Absolutely great series with outstanding performances by all the actors and actresses but the 3rd season was canceled and the 2nd season was not released on Blu-Ray. Too bad FX, I'm less likely to watch future FX productions with this kind of decision making.

The Bridge with keep you on the edge your seat!!!!!!!!
The only thing that would make the first volumn of The Bridge look a little bad is the second version and conclusion. What a great movie set! Love both of these movies.

Great casting and the plot seems to be in sync with the latest news re the drug cartel and the not very smooth relationship between theUS and Mexican border authorities.All in all it's a pretty grim story of very human and even courageous people locking horns with the merchants of evil and their ilk.I'm looking forward to season 3.
