She admits to the shootings, however, she refuses to commit any involvement in the crime. The show tries to figure out the motives behind these crimes and the reason why they took place.

The bridge has become a cult Swedish-Danish co-production upon which many foreign shows have been based. The show begins with a dead body within the Oresund bridge that connects Denmark’s capital city, the Danish capital Copenhagen with Sweden’s third-largest city Malmo. This causes Danish as well as Swedish police to work together because the body is under the police jurisdiction that both nations. The show is among the best shows in the Nordic noir genre. It has a feeling of eerie and melancholy throughout the entire show. I could not find excellent trailers for season one, so this one is from season 2.

Scandinavian programming on Netflix is very rare, however, the Danish Netflix film is an absolute must-see for those who love anything from the post-apocalyptic world. It’s true that it’s a Danish production, however, there’s a little bit of Swedish spoken in the show, and you might be able to see the similarity between Danish as well as Swedish, especially if you are watching with Danish subtitles.

The main character Alba August is Swedish-Danish, making this somewhat an experience that is a bit tense when you’ve seen her speak Swedish effortlessly. In addition, she’s one of the daughters of Swedish actor Pernilla August who is famous, for example, well-known for her role as the mother of Anakin Skywalker In Star Wars.
