TV show description:
This crime thriller explores the tensions on the U.S. – Mexico border. When an American judge known for her anti-immigration views is found dead on the bridge that connects El Paso and Juarez, Sonya Cross (Diane Kruger) from the El Paso Police Department must work with her Mexican counterpart from Chihuahua State Police, Marco Ruiz (Demian Bichir). Their goal is to catch a serial killer operating on both sides of the border.
Marco understands the slippery politics of Mexican law enforcement. While his police force slowly succumbs to the pressures and demands of the cartel, he’s one of the last good men in the department. He’s charming, but also cunning as he will do whatever it takes to get what he needs.
This doesn’t sit well with Sonya, who has Asperger’s and strictly follows rules — as well as protocol. Her candid and off-putting personality fuels an unforgiving drive for truth.
The case quickly pulls them both into a string of murders on the border, a scene already consumed by illegal immigration, drug trafficking, violence and prostitution.
Episode #26 — Jubilex
Marco’s loyalty is put to the ultimate test while Sonya attempts to tie up loose ends. Eleanor yearns for closure. Frye and Adriana land an insider source.
First aired: October 1, 2014.
What do you think? Do you like the The Bridge TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for another season?
Hate to offer an opinion that is quite different from that of many of the obvious fans here, but my wife and I found this series to be way below the standard of the excellent earlier versions (The Bridge/The Tunnel) from Europe. Will say that for plot and some acting it was still better than most North American drama. Not surprised that it was cancelled.
I also think the original British-French production was much superior.
My whole family has been waiting for the third season of The Bridge. How many shows are on TV you can say that about. The word is commercial TV has a predicted expiration date. This my be the problem. I too am feed up with the best shows not even getting a season to tie up the story. Cable keeps going up and giving us garbage. Netflix is better.
We loved Fx’s adaptation of the Swedish/Danish series The Bridge and desperately wish they would make more series or at least a series 3. The show is well written, acted and produced and offers intrigue and insight into real issues. It’s too bad that quality series like this with the potential to educate as well as entertain us struggle to keep their viewership and ratings.
I need this show back. It is a great show and I loved watching it and always couldn’t wait to see it again. Please bring it back
This show is everything to me, was. I need it back, alot of us need it back!!! It didnt have high ratings because people did not know about it. High ratings arent everything. Bichir and Kruger are just….i have no words, it just works. I feel seriously depressed about this show.
I really liked the show: the area setting,storyline n the actors…BRING THEM BACK!!.
I’m sure Fox or Netflix or Amazon Prime or Xbox Live or Hulu revives The Bridge for a third season next year. Just make 10 episodes for season three.
I, too, agree The Bridge was an outstanding show. Instead we get dumb sit-coms or shows about vampires and the lot. What’s going on with decent adult programming where there is excitement, drama and multiple story lines. Do they want an audience that doesn’t think, but just reacts? Come on, bring back The Bridge!!
This was a very good show with excellent actors
I love this show ! Yes renew it please ! Why do they keep doing this to us viewers? We get hooked on a show they air on tv . They give it all these plots and lead up to a climax but then the season ends. We wait for the next season to find out what is going to hap only to find out it is cancelled. So that means we will never what is going to happen or what the story was leading us up to or what was the point? At least if they want to cancel… Read more »
It was a good crime show with great skilled actors. Bad mistake
Again another show like Hannibal and Mr Robot that takes a very serious topic that is not nice and pretty and makes you think. And once again the show can’t get the ratings required to stay on air. It appears only sell out reality, dumb comedies and sports are the only ratings winners these days and the dumbing down of America is in effect just like the Beavis and Butt head creators predicted in their film Idiocracy.
No, The Bridge should of never been cancelled
Maybe networks should put out the word
that TV series/shows are having difficulties..
Don’t relay on what they assume that are low ratings. Let the viewers in on the problem.A warning. A new tool for networks and views.
It is like the rug has pulled out from under you .You have to find out the show isn’t coming back by looking it up on the internet.
Not fair in my books.
THS WAS A GREATSHOW ANDSHOULD NOT HAVE BEENCANCELLED. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!
I cannot believe The Bridge was cancelled. This show dealt with realistic things that are happening in our world. Actors great! Acting great! Characters were believable. Yet shows about hillbillys and swamp people and naked survival and building treehouses and honey booboo and all that mindless crap just keep on going. Its just wrong and sad. A show like The Bridge informs the public of the reality of the issues it addressed. Surely somebody in executive TVland can see this.
Exactly my opinion to Joi! I sure wish Amazon, or Netflix would pick it up!
