Synopsis:

The spectacular Oresund Bridge links the countries of Denmark and Sweden. The iconic structure is the touchstone for one of the most compelling drama series brands from the Scandi Noir genre - The Bridge - also a co-operative venture between Denmark and Sweden. Packaged together for the first time, Series One and Two of The Bridge both star Sofia Helin as Saga Noren and Kim Bodnia as Martin Rohde, the lead homicide detectives respectively from Malmo in Sweden and Copenhagen in Denmark. In both compelling crime drama series, the Swedish and Danish Police pool their resources to try and solve spectacular murders that occur along the border of the two countries. Thoughtfully drawn and quirky characters, fast-paced and twisting plots, stunning cinematography - these are the hallmarks of The Bridge - a brooding crime saga that is set to define the genre.

The Bridge (Seasons 1)
When a body is found on the bridge between Denmark and Sweden, right on the border, Danish inspector Martin Rohde and Swedish Saga Norén have to share jurisdiction and work together to find the killer.
The Bridge (Season 2)
Season 2 begins 13 months after the events of the first season. A coastal tanker leaves the Öresund waterway and is headed straight for the Øresund Bridge. When the Coast Guard board the ship they discover there is no crew, and three Swedish and two Danish youths are chained below deck. Saga Norén, County Police, Malmö, is put in charge of the case and contacts Martin Rohde, who is still haunted by the death of his son. Soon it turns out the chained youths were just the beginning... Someone wants to direct our attention to the changing climate and the use of our planet's resources, and will stop at nothing to do it. It all turns into a race against the clock to prevent a disaster where many lives are at stake...

The iconic Øresund Bridge, standing in the strait between Sweden and Denmark, connects the cities of Copenhagen and Malmö. When a body is discovered lying directly across the line that divides these two countries a union between the respective cities' Police forces is forged and a working relationship between two very different detectives begins. Laid-back but louche Danish family man, Martin Rohde (Kim Bodnia) and the socially awkward, classic-Porsche driving Swedish singleton, Saga Norén (Sofia Helin) have to work together to stop a chain of horrificly staged murders before a terrorist wins over public opinion with his anti-corruption agenda. As the case develops so does the relationship between Martin and Saga, culminating in one of the most dramatic conclusions to a TV series in recent memory. 13 months later a deserted tanker veers off course, heading straight for the Bridge, the scene of the now-infamous crime that first united the two detectives. When the Coast Guard finally board the ship they discover there is no crew present but find three Swedish and two Danish youths chained below deck. Saga is immediately put in charge of the case but, as Danish victims are involved, she contacts her previous case-collaborator, Martin who is still suffering the psychological consequences of the previous case. The duo embark on investigating a mysterious and complex case involving terrorists with an environmental agenda.
