The Bridge
The Bridge - Måns Mårlind, Hans Rosenfeldt & Björn Stein
Season Four
This season's meta-plot flows the unpredictable twists and turns of the previous ones but the writers make the mistake of giving us too many hints about the killer too early on.These twists and turns are harder to follow and it feels like there are more sub-plots happening than in the previous seasons.This just makes it very hard to keep track of what is happening. To make matters worse we are missing our hero for what feels like half the season - probably more like a third.
We start with Saga in jail which is just terrible given we know there is no way that she would ever do this. We have seen her destroy the relationships around her to do the right thing.
Coupled with this is her boss, unsupportive as ever. But Linn's perspective in this case perplexes me. She is cold and uncaring but gives Saga so much space when she returns.These two positions don't fit. The writers seem to have forgotten that the reason we are here is for Saga.But just putting her on screen and showing her idiosyncracies is not enough. While this sort of ham-fisted writing might have worked during the first season when we were getting to know her it does not fly now.
