The Bridge review – 1×11: ‘Take The Ride, Pay The Toll’

September 19, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Looking around the Internet, reviews of The Bridge review read “The End of a Nightmare”, “The central mystery hits its peak” and, most amusingly, “the killer’s motives and methods are revealed” (these weren’t clear before?). None of these statements are incorrect…and yet I can’t help but feel frustrated and annoyed at this supposedly “climatic” episode.

In an hour filled with fetishized female bodies, Sonya (Diane Kruger) and Marco (Demián Bichir) may have caught their killer. Is this the end of the road for the Bridge Butcher?

The Bridge review – 1×04: ‘Maria Of The Desert’

A familiar hunt for a serial killer dominates ‘Maria Of The Desert’, but – as usual in this series – it’s the unconventional approach that makes the episode work.

The Bridge review – 1×01: ‘Pilot’

July 11, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

FX debuts its latest high profile drama, a topical (and frank) examination of border relations masked as a crime thriller. After just one episode, it’s clear that The Bridge isn’t pulling any punches, nor is the show afraid to do so through the lens of some unconventional characters.
