The border between the United States of America and Mexico, its neighbor to the south, is the most-crossed border in the world. There’s also a big economic divide between the two countries.
All of which makes it the perfect setting for a television drama series, which is just what FX has delivered with The Bridge.
The Bridge is actually an American remake of Broen, a Danish/Swedish production that explores the border between those two countries.
This video shows the trailer for the first season of The Bridge, with Diane Kruger and Demian Bichir teaming up to investigate a suspected murder, the corpse of which was dumped on the border.
The Bridge is a serious drama which mixes the chasing of a killer with interplays between the two central characters and what they represent.
