On Wednesday night, FX is going to put a pin in the first season of “The Bridge” with an episode that is hopefully going to answer a good many questions. Are we going to see every story that has been introduced wrapped up, and are we also going to finally understand what some of these […]
There’s not a lot of drama sometimes in a renewal when it has already been more or well known that the show was probably going to be coming back, and that is the situation that “The Bridge” found itself in this summer. Given that we had already heard the producers talking about future storylines, they […]
Depending on how you want to look at it, the finale to FX’s “The Bridge” could have very well taken place last week courtesy of the story of David Hill getting arrested and Gus being killed off. It was basically the equivalent of someone ripping out the kid’s heart, and then forcing Marco Ruiz to […]
At this point during the run of “The Bridge,” we cannot figure out whether or not this is an excellent crime story or a melodrama. The show was stronger overall back before we knew who David Hill was or what some of his motivations were. Having Marco be a cheater (again) is not the most […]
While this week’s episode of “The Bridge” on FX was very strong, there was a question that we started to ask ourselves in the closing minutes of this episode: Do we think that the show could have really ended with ten episodes this season? The answer to that is “probably.” Now that the killer does […]
On Wednesday night, “The Bridge” will be back with yet another new episode; and hopefully, we are going to have something in the way of intelligent answers to go with that when it comes to the questions that we have. For one example of this, we’re hoping / pleading that there is something much more […]
If you were to watch “The Bridge” and no other scripted drama out there, then you would probably get a very low opinion of men. When you look at all of these characters, you basically have a murderer, a hired gun, an alcoholic jerk, a serial cheater, some guys with questionable motives, and also someone […]
On last week’s episode of “The Bridge,” there were a few moments where we felt like the madness was finally going to be over. After a heated standoff, a “killer” was finally taken down thanks to Sonya Cross and Marco Ruiz. The problem? As Sonya herself theorized, this killer was not the killer. He was too demented […]
Wednesday night’s episode of “The Bridge” felt different than most. By far, this was the shortest episode of the FX series that we have seen, and it was actually shorter in run time (at around 40 minutes) than many primetime network series. It was really just focused on one or two events, and given the […]
On this week’s “The Bridge,” expect to see quite a bit when it comes to drama. We’re deep now into the show’s freshman run, and despite some initial flaws (some disjointed stories here and there), there have also been some fantastic moments. Just learning more about Sonya Cross’ backstory last week was particularly effective, as […]
