The Bridge

The Bridge is a Nordic noir crime television series created and written by Hans Rosenfeldt. A joint production between Sweden's SVT and Denmark's DR, it has been shown in more than 100 countries. The first season begins with the discovery of a dead body at the centre of the Øresund Bridge, which links the Swedish city of Malmö with the Danish capital Copenhagen, necessitating a joint investigation.

In the first and second seasons her Danish counterpart, Martin Rohde, is played by Kim Bodnia; in the third and fourth, the Danish police officer is Henrik Sabroe, played by Thure Lindhardt. The first season was broadcast on SVT1 and DR1 during the autumn of 2011, and on the United Kingdom's BBC Four the following spring. The second season was aired in the Nordic countries during the autumn of 2013, and in the UK in early 2014.
