Now watched the entire Series Two of the Danish original; quite superb; stunning, brave ending; if you missed it, do buy the DVDs - may well be the finest TV series of the year. |

I know what you mean about subtitles Hedda - it makes late night viewing difficult. |

The original series has been copied three times - from Scandinavia, into Canada, USA and the UK.
Because the lead actor has Asperger; which makes it difficult to communicate in the 'normal' way - but can be simultaneously brilliant, innovative, and child like. New - for TV.
In Homeland (the highly successful USA/CIA series), the lady who plays the lead has the same condition - which the CIA/White House has totally accepted.
We probably all know people like them and think them 'odd', according to our norm. But they just think in a different and, often, bring totally new concepts and ideas - to many tables/businesses/lives.

always a problem with subtitles...TV puts me to sleep so I can slip into Nirvana as the characters ramble on but if they say something i don't understand and it sounds dramatic I wake up suddenly , re-wind and watch over again.
awake all night then thanks for nothing |

There's four similar series - three called The Bridge.
Between Denmark/Sweden (original), two suburbs of Toronto and USA/Mexico.
Another, based around the Channel Tunnel and UK/France, is called The Tunnel.
Like The Killing (and its imitators), the original Scandinavian version is the best.
