Here's A A Gill's Review in the Sunday Times Magazine:
Another modern emotionally dysfunctionai detective coupiling has returned too,
with The Bridge. he's a messy avuncular Danish detective,she's a cold Swedish one stuck up some autistic spectrum.Each is a cartoon of their national character as drawn by the other.
And That's a funny idea.The first series was marvellous,the first episode of the second series couldn't
have been more disappointing. It wasn't just dull - it was depressing and dull ,as if it had decided to make a TV show based on the cartoonish stereotypes that the rest of Europe has about Scandinavia.
Never has a second series been so comprehensively hoist by it's own conceit.

????????
 

I think it's a brilliant series, even the 2nd one.

I'll admit to being a bit hooked on Scandic noir: The Killing, Borgen, The Bridge - they're all aceness, and piss all over most of the tripe churned out here in the UK nowadays.
