Bron\|Broen	comment	Bron\|Broen (the former title is Swedish and the latter Danish), known in English-speaking markets as The Bridge, is a Nordic Noir thriller co-produced by DR and SVT, the respective state broadcasters of Denmark and Sweden. The first series was shown in its native countries in 2011, and in 2012 followed Forbrydelsen onto BBC4 in the UK. A second season aired throughout Scandanavia in 2013 with the third season airing it the region, followed by the UK in 2015. The fourth and intentionally final season was shown in both Europe and the UK in 2018.The show has had six remakes to date: An American remake premiered in 2013 on FX, with the action taking place on the US/Mexico border. It aired two seasons. It starred Diane Kruger and Creator/DemiánBichir. UK cable channel Sky Atlantic has produced a remake with Canal in 2013 called The Tunnel, which aired three seasons. It starred Stephen Dillane and Clémence Poésy. An Estonian-Russian remake set on the border with Estonia (specifically the Friendship Bridge between Narva and Ivangorod) has been ordered by NTV in that country to air in 2017, known as The Bridge in English (Мост in Russian) with two seasons aired. It stars Mikhail Porechenkov and Ingeborga Dapkūnaitė. A Malaysian-Singapore remake that aired on November 26, 2018 on HBO Asia, NTV7 and online by Viu known as The Bridge. The first victim is placed on the Second Link. It stars Bront Palarae and Rebecca Lim. An Austrian-German remake aired all the 8-episode series on January 17, 2019 known as Der Pass since the show starts in a mountain pass between Bavaria and Salzburg. It stars Julia Jentsch and Nicholas Ofczarek. A Greco-Turkish remake, with the first crime scene on the bridge between Kipoi and İpsala. It began streaming on May 27, 2022, as an ANT 1+ original series. It stars Mando Giannikou and Burak Hakkı.The series begins when a body is discovered on the Øresund bridge that links Copenhagen (Denmark) with Malmö (Sweden), carefully dumped at the exact point where the bridge is divided by the international border. As a result, the two cities' police forces are forced to collaborate on the investigation, led by Saga Norén (Sweden) and Martin Rohde (Denmark). Threatening messages are then received by the police and media, from somebody purporting to have committed the murders to draw attention to social problems.In the second season, Martin and Saga are reunited when the discovery of a Ghost Ship turns out to be the first in a series of attacks by a group of apparent ecoterrorists.The third season has Saga joined by a new Danish partner, the secretive insomniac Henrik Sabroe, as they try to track down a Serial Killer seemingly motivated by homophobia who targets both Danish and Swedish LGBT activists and is strangely poetic about their murders.The fourth season reunites Saga and Henrik when a pro-immigrant activist is stoned to death under the bridge, in what initially looks like a politically-motivated killing but then turns out to have far more personal motivations.

Bron\|Broen / int_10134c97	type	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety
Bron\|Broen / int_10134c97	comment	Artistic License – Gun Safety: In Season One, Episode Four, where Saga and Martin are searching for the homeless man Bjorn, and the bridge killer, believing him to be in the building. Saga is armed, Martin isn't, since he's a Danish cop and does not have the necessary permit to carry in Sweden, as Saga tells him. She tries to assure him by saying that she's a good shot. Mere seconds later, the two are moving through quite dark and narrow corridors, but it's Martin who walks in front, with Saga following behind, so that he's in her potential line of fire all the time. Not only that, but she doesn't even lower, or raise, her gun, keeping it aimed forward, with Martin's back occasionally being right in front of the muzzle. Needless to say, this is not something that anybody should do, much less a trained police officer who's supposedly good at shooting. In the first season, a suspect named Jesper Anderson retrieves a loaded gun from a public toilet and stuffs it in his pants. Zig-Zagged in season two, when in trying to get Laura to relive a recent trauma, Saga takes out her gun and points it at her. While Saga keeps her finger off the trigger and the firearm was probably secured, she was still pointing a loaded gun at a traumatized shooting victim. In the third season, Lukas forces Marc to play Russian Roulette with a blank cartridge. When the cartridge goes off, Marc is terrified but unharmed. In reality, this has killed people, the most notable case being actor/model Jon-Erik Hexum, who died doing exactly what happens in the show. In season three, when Saga's boss informs her that she will be investigated for her mother's death, and that she is suspended, she lets her keep her gun.

Bron\|Broen / int_121476bd	comment	The Millstone: Cowboy Cop Wannabe Rasmus, in both Seasons he appears. In Season Two, he gets attacked by two suspects and then tampers with the report given by an eyewitness outing him, slowing down the investigation and the suspects are later killed before the police can question them. He also effectively kidnaps a suspect across state lines, meaning he can only be let off with a warning. In Season Three, he manages to track the killer and his latest victim, but instead of staying put and waiting for backup as ordered, he tries to confront them himself, getting shot for his trouble and alerting the killer that the police know their whereabouts.

Jens Hansen / Sebastian Sandstrod in season 1 can be interpretaded as this due to how much he seems to enjoy manipulating people, but he ultimately has a Heel Realization in season 2.

Not quite a straight example, as they've only been missing for several years, and may or may not still be alive. The older daughter, Astrid, is still alive, raised by Frank (a social worker Henrik's wife used to see) in a secluded village. He apparently killed Alice in a fit of rage, and the younger daughter Anna died of appendicitis because Frank hesitated to take her to hospital. Frank told the girls that their parents died in a plane accident.

Meanwhile, a doctor has found out that Leonora was not poisoned, only sedated by strong painkillers. Before she could give the information however, William barges in her daughter's room and injects her with the antidote. She begins to convulse and dies soon after. The antidote was in reality a potent neurotoxin used in executions. The killer knew that Leonora was William's whole world, and contrived the murder so that William would be the one giving the lethal injection.

Bron\|Broen / int_40cc0c7e	comment	Bittersweet Ending: Seasons 1 and 2 both have these, if they don't qualify as outright Downer Endings: Season 1: Jens has been captured, but August is dead. Not to mention that dozens of people have died gruesomely along the way. Season 2: The eco-terrorist conspiracy has been foiled, but the unknown mastermind of that conspiracy is still at large, Saga's boyfriend has left her, Martin's wife has fallen out of love with him, Pernille is dead, and because of the last two events, Martin finally crosses the Despair Event Horizon and possibly murders Jens, completing Jens's master plan from the first season finale. Saga finds out and is forced to report Martin, leading to his arrest. Not to mention that dozens of people have died gruesomely along the way. Season 3 ends on a slightly more upbeat note, but still qualifies: Saga and Henrik have caught Emil and saved Freddie and the baby, but they're both off the force, and Saga may be facing prosecution for (allegedly) murdering her mother. Saga herself is convinced she'd be convicted, given that she had motive, no alibi, and the technical evidence points to her. Not to mention that dozens of people have died gruesomely along the way. Season 4 ends with Henrik getting one of his two daughters back, although he finds that she still cares about her abductor, who killed Henrik's wife by accident and Henrik's other daughter through medical negligence. Henrik's AA sponsor tries to kill the remaining daughter to complete his revenge and ends up getting shot in the head right in front of the girl. Saga quits the police, having solved her sister's suicide, which she has realized was the reason she became a detective in the first place, symbolically throwing her badge from the eponymous bridge.

Bron\|Broen / int_6bda9a30	comment	Meaningful Name: Saga is a relatively unusual Swedish name and means "seeing one" in Old Norse — appropriate for someone with her level of crime-solving intuition. Incidentally, as can be heard in-series, the name is pronounced as "Sah-ga" (rhymes with "Prada") in Swedish, but "Say-ga" (as in Sega) in Danish. "Saga" is the Swedish word for "fairy-tale". It is also a slightly archaic pan-Nordic word for "tale, story". The most famous Swede with Saga's last name is Lars Norén, a Swedish playwright, known for dark drama full of angst. Martin lampshades this in the first episode, when he asks whether there is any relation. According to Saga there isn't. Subverted in season 3, where there is a character named Bror, meaning "brother", which is at most a Red Herring for the viewers. The characters never bring it up, no matter how much Morten Anker talks about his unnamed brother.

Bron\|Broen / int_71e8a5c5	comment	Trauma Conga Line: In series 3, let's see, Saga witnesses her first partner lose a foot in an explosion and feels responsible. Then her abusive mother, who had Munchausen syndrome by proxy, shows up and starts a campaign of intimidation, including blaming Saga for her sister's suicide. Saga's father, from whom she was also estranged, dies. Then Hans, her boss and friend, who always had her back, is kidnapped and tortured. Then she's mismanaged to the extreme by her new boss, who assigns an incompetent colleague who has a grudge against Saga to investigate her. Then her mother commits suicide in a way that frames Saga for murder. Hans dies. She forgets to search a suspect for weapons, and her colleague's daughter is consequently shot. Her new partner, whom she grew close to, turns out to be a drug addict. She inadvertently provides the murderer with the means to kill himself. And finally, she's suspended while being investigated for her mother's death. All this leads her to a very bad place. In season four, her psychologist has a lot to work with. Henrik undergoes one from Series 3 to Series 4. He struggles with drug addiction the whole series. His wife, Alice's, body is finally found, but not his daughters. He falls in love with Saga and prevents her from committing suicide, and is delighted when she gets pregnant. Then she has an abortion specifically so she won't lose him, and he finds that his eldest daughter died from appendicitis years previously.

And in Season Three, Saga has this reaction when under stress, she forgets to search a perp and he wildly fires his gun in the police station, accidentally hitting John's daughter.

Bron\|Broen / int_a8a4b41e	comment	Not So Stoic: To the casual observer (and even many of her own colleagues and associates) Saga appears cold and unemotional, if not outright cruel in her insensitivity at times. However, the show on numerous occasions takes time to explore how much this is not the case: Saga is a moral and thoughtful person who simply struggles to understand which of her actions may insult or hurt others, but who tries to adapt herself to avoid it. As to her own emotions, we see on numerous occasions how deep they run, with the following being just some stand-outs: In Season One, when Martin repeatedly asks her if his son is alive, her face is one of true regret and despair. After experiencing a Trauma Conga Line in series 3, Saga has one of these moments when she collapses in tears after almost committing suicide. She's also noticeably upset when John's daughter gets shot in the arm when she failed to search the perp for a hidden firearm. Luckily she's fine later. The final season fully embraces the trope and breaks the presentation of Saga as unflappable, starting her out in prison where life is a daily struggle (not just because there are those who would like to see her dead in the prison, but because any degree of control over her life, which she strictly depends on as a psychological matter, is lost. Even once freed and restored to the police force, the season often sees her, through therapy and character interactions, facing the fall-out of the Trauma Conga Line that has been her life to date and struggling to understand what she really wants for herself. And in a particularly meaningful moment, in the last episode of the series, the trope is embraced head-on: in a previous scene, Henrik, in a moment of deep hurt and anger, accuses Saga of being incapable of love. But in the penultimate scene of the finale, Henrik, having just had his daughter's life and his own saved by Saga, is seeing things more clearly and notes "I said that I needed you more than you needed me, but that isn't right, is it?" to which Saga shakes her head, looks him in the eye and says "No, it isn't."

Instead she is a well realized character who, while outwardly cold seeming to those who don't understand her, is at her core a deeply ethical and caring person who simply struggles daily to understand the needs of those around her and to express her own.

Bron\|Broen / int_bd0d6395	comment	No Social Skills: Saga. Played sometimes seriously, as when she callously interrogates a guy over the phone while he's trapped in a car with a time bomb, and sometimes comically as when she picks up a guy in a bar with "want to have sex at my place?" and freaks him out when she post-coitally starts her laptop up and looks at gruesome autopsy photos in bed. In one episode she attempts to eat lunch and make small talk with the other detectives; after a long awkward silence all she manages to say (completely straight) is "my period started today." Her habit of changing her shirt in front of her colleagues is another example of this. There's also Annika in Season Three, who seems shocked the man she's been stalking and blackmailing didn't report her missing when she disappeared.

While he's a smug man who seems to think that he can control whoever he wants, he isn't necessarily corrupt and, while his job is largely unsavory, it's not malicious nor criminal.

Jesper is guilty of rape, but not murder. Lasse gets manipulated to kill a psychologist on behalf of the real killer. Also, while he suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, he is not a sexual predator and not a threat to Anja, who gets offed by Jens because she saw him leave Lasse's apartment complex. More turn up in season two: The Animal Wrongs Group bombs a petrol tanker and poisons the food supply, but it did not develop The Plague. Oliver is guilty of peeping on and then attempting to kill his sister, but he is not the mastermind behind the eco-terrorist conspiracy. Gertrud, the real ringleader of the conspiracy, may not have been the real ringleader after all. And in season three: Lise posts a video after the first two killings coolly ranting about the victims, but she isn't the killer. The victims are all found with a burn mark in their mouth that has a letter branded on it, which Saga says is part of the Babylonian alphabet. They actually make up the serial number of the sperm-donation case that resulted in Emil. Claes is seen carrying a shovel after Annika mysteriously disappears, but he had nothing to do with her vanishing and not only is she alive, she's not the killer. The fourth season suggests that Julia and Ida are actually Henrik's daughters. In fact, a completely different character turns out to be his one surviving daughter, although it's hinted that there are feelings developing between him and the other two.

Bron\|Broen / int_e563bf09	comment	Insistent Terminology: In the second season: It's a ship, not a boat, and Saga will never let you forget it. And, it's not a toad, it's a frog. Also, as she tells Linn, when the blog is in video format it's called a vlog. Saga always, always introduces herself as "Saga Norén, Malmö municipal police" — even in casual conversations. A typical interview will start like this: Played with, for poignant contrast in the the very last scene of the series: after Saga throws her police badge over the side of the titular bridge, indicating, along with her conversation with Henrik in the penultimate scene, that she has freed herself from the guilt that has defined her for so long and is moving on from police work to restart her life on her own terms, she gets back in her car and, when her phone rings, she answers simply as "Saga Norén". A slightly darker example in Season three, the killer insists he wasn't "punishing" the people he killed, he was "correcting" them. Saga insists she's not "strange", she is "different". In Season Four, the brusque Jonas Mandrup insists on referring to Taariq Shirazi - who is dodging deportation to his native Iran, where he would be executed - as "the fag", possibly because it annoys both Henrik and Lillian. He agrees to drop the habit once Taariq has killed himself. In series 4, Saga always corrects Henrik when he says Kevin, which is the name Henrik first knew him as, instead of Brian, even though doing so clearly irritates Henrik.

Bron\|Broen / int_f64a9cf7	comment	Earn Your Happy Ending: The fourth season has the happiest ending in the series. Henrik finds one of his daughters alive and well, and even though things are a bit weird between them (since she was raised by another man for eight years), Astrid acknowledges that Henrik is her real father. Saga finally finds evidence that her mom had Münchhausen by proxy and that she made her sister Jennifer ill by giving her unnecessary medication. In therapy Saga realizes that she was not to blame for Jennifer's fate and that she became a police officer only because of her feelings of guilt. In the end, she makes peace with her past, resigns from the police force (and throws her badge down the titular bridge) and starts her life anew. Not to mention that slightly less people have died gruesomely along the way, the killer(s?) also bothering animals and the predeceased.
