Just finished season 4 of the bridge. As the season progressed the drama of 'who dunnit' took a back seat, for me, to the story of the leads. Would Saga live or die? Would Henrik find his daughters? As it turns out the writer felt the same way. The serial killer element was fairly predictable and ultimately was usurped by character development. I enjoyed it. You could wallow in Saga's world, laugh at her bluntness, be moved by her search for meaning and truth. I'll be revisiting the box set at some point in the future.
Pretty much agree with this. Personally I always wanted Season 4 to be mainly about the search for Henrik’s daughters and his and Saga’s relationship, so the murder mystery was always a bit more of a distraction than anything else.
Seasons 2 and 3 were the best ones imho, there were a few slightly cliched bits in this series, and the first one we were still getting to love Saga, but they handled the character stuff in this season very well and we got a fairly satisfying happy ending, at least by Scandinavian standards. Much loved TV series can often still be ruined by a crap ending and they avoided anything like that and left the ‘box set’ untarnished.
8/10 for the season, 9.5/10 for the 4 seasons as a whole. Right up there with my favourite ever shows. Will miss that eerie theme tune, long coat, and khaki Porsche.
Recently watched on iplayer a BBC Wales drama called Keeping Faith. Was a really good watch and deserved to be on BBC 1 or 2. Now watching another BBC Wales drama called Hidden, part Welsh language and sub titled but four episodes in and it too is really good. I'd recommend both, certainly whiles away a long train journey.
Watched the first episode of Big Little Lies. Really enjoyed it, the acting was superb as was the way it was put together. A friend of ours is directing six episodes in season 2 so I'm looking forward to watching those when we've caught up with season 1.

I'm jealous you are watching for the first time. I've watched the whole series twice (the last episode at least 3 times) when is the 2nd series out? how cool your friend is directing!!

Obviously someone from the BBC reads this thread
I really enjoyed the first episode, but I saw there are 8 of them all told.....Who does the producer think they are, Cecil B De-Milne ??? 6 is usually 2 too many for starters.....but 8 !!!

But Eve Myles. No such thing as too much of a good thing.

I agree with this. It is a good series....but it felt that they stretched it out a bit.

She's won an Oscar and two BAFTAs so I'd say it's a bit of a coup for them to get her. Of course, it's nice for her to get a decent pay day.
Just started watching Luke Cage season 2. First episode, there's a scene in the barber shop with a chess board set up the wrong way! Sort it out, Marvel.
What happened to Night & Day on C4 ?? The new "Walter Presents" series started on sun 1st July but no episode 2 last sunday or last night. Has it been pulled ???

You can get all 13 episodes on All 4. Finished it yesterday and it was very good, which was pleasing as most Spanish TV is hit or miss.
Just finished S2 of Goliath, what a cracking series. I think even better than S1. Lots of twists and turns and billy bob is fantastic. Moving straight onto Bosch S4,
