A Danish citizen, Helle Anker, is found murdered and posed in a construction site in Malmö in a tableau meant to evoke a traditional family. On further investigation, it is revealed that Anker, a lesbian married to a Swedish woman, was the pioneer of Denmark's first gender neutral preschool. Saga is assigned to the case, but finds that the Copenhagen police officer assigned to work with her is openly hostile due to her role in the incarceration of Martin Rohde. As the investigation progresses, Saga is assigned a new partner after the original loses her leg to an improvised explosive device placed by a suspect in his home. The new detective is Henrik Saboe ([[Thure Lindhardt]]), an insomniac with secrets of his own. As more murders take place, Saga is also faced with the sudden appearance in her life of her estranged mother (Ann Petrén), who has an alternate account of her sister's childhood and threatens to reveal the secrets of Saga's past. Hans (Dag Malmberg), now married to Lilian (Sarah Boberg), the chief of the Copenhagen police, is incapacitated, and Saga must also deal with a new chief, Linn (Maria Kulle), who is not as understanding as Hans. Various strands of the story are interwoven, including a right wing vlogger (Sonja Richter) whose denouncements seem to mirror the murder victims, a gambling addict and his pregnant girlfriend, the head of a vocational center who traffics in contraband on the side, a real estate heiress having an affair with her best friend's 17 year old son, and a multi-millionaire art collector. The series focuses on Saga's spiraling mental state after turning Martin in, and new self doubts about her childhood and colleagues that question her abilities. |

The Bridge (Danish: Broen; Swedish: Bron) is a Scandinavian crime drama television series created and written by Hans Rosenfeldt.[1] It is a joint creative and financed production between Sveriges Television of Sweden and Danmarks Radio of Denmark, as well as German ZDF.
Two seasons of the show have so far been broadcast, starring Sofia Helin as Swedish police detective Saga Norén and Kim Bodnia as her Danish counterpart Martin Rohde. The first season started with a police investigation following the discovery of a dead body on the Øresund Bridge connecting Sweden and Denmark. It was first broadcast on SVT1 and DR1 during the autumn of 2011. The second season aired in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland over ten weeks from 22 September to 24 November 2013,[2][3][4] and began airing in the United Kingdom on BBC Four from 4 January 2014.[5]
Production of the third season started at the end of 2014[6] and began airing in Denmark, Sweden and Finland[7] on 27 September 2015. Following Bodnia's departure from the cast, it stars Helin, Thure Lindhardt and Nicolas Bro.
Plot
Series One
What appears to be the body of a female Swedish politician is discovered in the middle of the Øresund Bridge, which connects Copenhagen with Malmö. The body, cut in half at the waist, has been placed precisely on the border between the countries, thus falling under the jurisdiction of both the Danish and Swedish police agencies. After further examination, what appears to be one body is two halves of two separate corpses, the lower half belonging to a Danish prostitute. Two detectives, Saga Norén, from Sweden, and Martin Rohde, from Denmark, lead the investigation to catch the murderer.[8][9]
The investigation quickly escalates as a journalist, Daniel Ferbé, whose car was used in the crime, begins receiving phone calls. The caller, who becomes known as the "Truth Terrorist", claims to be committing his crimes in order to draw attention to various social problems. A social worker, Stefan Lindberg, whose sister becomes a victim of the Truth Terrorist, becomes an early suspect. However, events soon lead the Danish and Swedish teams to conclude that the killer has connections to the police.
In the course of the investigation, Martin and Saga develop a close working relationship, although they are very different people. Martin has an eighteen-year-old son from his first marriage, August, who is now living with Martin and his current wife, Mette, by whom Martin has three children; after Martin has had a vasectomy, Mette discovers that she is expecting twins. Saga lives alone and does not seem to feel she needs a serious relationship, instead picking up men in bars for casual sex. She displays symptoms consistent with Asperger syndrome or a similar autistic spectrum disorder, including poor social skills, difficulty empathising with others and an inability to channel her emotions, which leads to her coming across as cold, insensitive and blunt; the show's creators have stated that they have been intentionally vague on the exact nature of Saga's social issues, not wanting a generic diagnosis to define expectations of the character, but Saga has nonetheless been noted as a positive representation of a character apparently in the autistic spectrum as, despite her social ineptitude, she is clearly of above-average intelligence, with a fine eye for detail and strong analytical skills.[10] She is clearly not a malicious person, genuinely making an effort to learn from her mistakes and apologise for any offence she may have caused. Nevertheless, she does have difficulty in establishing relationships and feels inadequate in being able to manage people. For this, she refuses a promotion. In addition, she at one point explains to Martin that her coworkers confuse her lack of outward emotion for emotional detachment, and their comments about her behaviour often hurt her feelings. Her superior, Hans - and later Martin - provides her with supervision whenever she struggles or messes up in social situations, usually through interrupting her or whispering in her ear afterwards.
After the killer has murdered several people, his true motivation begins to seem personal.[11] They discover that the crimes have been planned over a period of several years.
Series Two
The second series starts 13 months after the end of the first series. A coaster veers off course and rams into the Øresund Bridge. Saga arrives on the scene and finds the ship deserted save for five people – three Swedish and two Danish – chained below deck. Saga arranges to have Martin assigned to the case, though he has gone through a nervous breakdown following his son's death. After the victims on the coaster die from pneumonic plague, a viral video appears in which four disguised eco-terrorists claim responsibility for the incident. They embark on further attacks, including blowing up a petrol tanker and distributing poisoned food. As the police close in on the group, they are all found dead in a shipping container, thus raising the question of whether there are other terrorist cells or a larger group. Suspicion then falls on a medical research company, Medusius, and its staff and owners. The final episode is played out within the setting of an EU environmental conference where the keynote speaker will be Viktoria Nordgren, head of Medusius.[12]
Series Three
The third series starts 13 months after the end of the second.
A Danish citizen, Helle Anker, is found murdered and posed in a construction site in Malmö in a tableau meant to evoke a traditional family. On further investigation, it is revealed that Anker, a lesbian married to a Swedish woman, was the pioneer of Denmark's first gender neutral preschool. Saga is assigned to the case, but finds that the Copenhagen police officer assigned to work with her is openly hostile due to her role in the incarceration of Martin Rohde. As the investigation progresses, Saga is assigned a new partner after the original loses her leg to an improvised explosive device placed by a suspect in his home. The new detective is Henrik Saboe (Thure Lindhardt), an insomniac with secrets of his own. As more murders take place, Saga is also faced with the sudden appearance in her life of her estranged mother (Ann Petrén), who has an alternate account of her sister's childhood and threatens to reveal the secrets of Saga's past. Hans (Dag Malmberg), now married to Lilian (Sarah Boberg), the chief of the Copenhagen police, is incapacitated, and Saga must also deal with a new chief, Linn Björkman (Maria Kulle), who is not as understanding as Hans. Various strands of the story are interwoven, including a right wing vlogger (Sonja Richter) whose denouncements seem to mirror the murder victims, a gambling addict and his pregnant girlfriend, the head of a vocational center who traffics in contraband on the side, a real estate heiress having an affair with her best friend's 17 year old son, and a multi-millionaire art collector. The series focuses on Saga's spiraling mental state after turning Martin in, and new self doubts about her childhood and colleagues that question her abilities.

Production
Series Two
Series two started shooting in October 2012, and began to air in Denmark and Sweden on Sunday 22 September 2013 (20.00 in Denmark and 21.00 in Sweden).[13]
Series Three
The writer of the show, Hans Rosenfeldt, revealed in January 2014 that he is writing series three, with a return of most of the main characters, including Martin Rohde.[14] Filming started in September 2014 with an expected air date in Scandinavia starting in Autumn 2015. In June 2014 it was announced that Kim Bodnia, who plays Martin Rohde, would not appear in the third series. Initially it was reported that Bodnia left after becoming unhappy with the way his character was evolving.[15] Bodnia and Helin later clarified that his character was not written into the script and that series 3 will focus on Saga coping with losing her only friend. Both suggested the possibility that Bodnia's character may return.[16] Later, Hans Rosenfeldt confirmed that Bodnia left the show due to creative differences.[17]
The Scandinavian launch of Series 3 Episode 1 took place on 27 September 2015.[18] In a nod to Bodnia's departure, the titles in the opening episode of the series posted Sofia Helin's name alone, with the spot that had been occupied by Bodnia's left vacant. From episode two, the opening credits now state Sofia Helin and Thure Lindhardt as the two protagonists of the series. The names, along with the Swedish and Danish titles, are separated by three lines, indicating the third series (they had been separated by one line in the first, and two in the second series).

The first airing of the series was screened on Sweden's SVT1 weekly from Wednesday 21 September 2011 at 21.00. Denmark's DR1 followed a week later in their 20.00 slot every Wednesday. By screening the final episode immediately after episode 9, DR1 managed to screen episode 10 simultaneously with SVT1.
On several occasions, The Bridge failed to have sufficient viewers to be placed in SVT1's weekly Top 10 programmes. This was mainly due to competition from commercial broadcaster TV4 with its offering gaining over a million viewers. In Sweden, The Bridge won its time slot for the first five episodes against weak competition from Hawaii Five-0 on TV4. From episode 6, it aired against the popular reality show sv , which would beat The Bridge until the final episode, when they virtually tied.
International distribution
