THE BRIDGE, SEASON TWO [FX]

the bridge2
Tonight I’ll be watching the third episode of The Bridge. The Bridge had its Second Season debut a couple weeks ago on FX. I enjoyed the First Season with all of the quirky plots and characters. Mexican actor Demián Bichir returns as the emotional police detective Marco and German actress Diane Kruger reprises her role as the autistic El Paso police detective Sonya. But my favorite character is Matthew Lillard as Daniel Frye, an El Paso Times investigative reporter with a substance abuse problem. Drugs factor into the plots as a common demonstrator of life on the Mexican border. There’s also a serial killer loose, a conspiracy among the corrupt Mexican police to kill Marco, and a hunt for a girl who is living in the U.S. illegally to escape the drug cartels. If you’re looking for high quality drama to fill your Summer, consider The Bridge. You can easily catch up on episodes that are available On Demand.

    Jackie decided she had enough of THE BRIDGE with the very dark Season One after watching the initial episode of the second season. I loved Kruger the first time around and agree withyou that Lillard’s goofy Daniel is a great character. I was glad they didn’t kill him last season. I may watch itOn Demand.

    The show is so dark that they need the (relative) lightness of his character. Marco is still wallowing in drink and self-pity.

    I noticed that. At least she tried to be a little more subtle than last year’s “Do you want to have sex now?”
