Half of it belongs to a Swedish politician, the other half to a Danish prostitute. Trapped in the middle of the bridge connecting Sweden and Denmark, a bi-national investigatory team is put together to solve the crime. Laid-back Danish family man, Martin, and Swedish single woman, Saga, have to work together to stop the horrific staged murders before the terrorist wins over public opinion with his anti-corruption agenda.Please note: This television series contains Swedish and Danish audio, with English subtitles. Review: Very impressively done - The Bridge is another example of the achievement of the much praised "Nordic Noir" with first class production values, a good believable script and a fine team of actors. As so often it is necessary to suspend reality and enjoy the series as a well crafted thriller. The pluses are such that a viewer is prepared to accept a plotline where yet another demented genius, armed with a stockpile of both extraordinary knowledge and equipment goes on a murderous rampage in order to achieve a very singular vengeance. Fine characterisation is evident throughout the series which includes a revolving door of interesting personalities who are a focal point in a number of episodes before disappearing. The introduction of the ultimate villain is cleverly handled for the perpetrator of so much death and destruction is barely noticed on a first meeting. Much of the success of the series is due to the acting skills of the two central protagonists. By a peculiar twist of fate the kick off murder becomes the joint responsibility of a bi-national investigating team. Denmark is represent by Martin, a family man whose most obvious flaw is his inability to turn his back on a bedroom opportunity. Saga, the Swedish detective, is a truly original creation for although totally committed and blessed with amazing deductive powers this Nordic beauty is both an isolationist and socially awkward. An obvious eccentric Saga manifests some of the differences associated with the now much discussed Asperger's Syndrome for her communication skills are seriously rudimentary and she is addicted to obsessive routine. Another plus is the easy to appreciate subtitles which fully complement the action. Trottman Review: Wonderfully paced thriller - This is a fantastic show. The excellent, very original, storyline gains momentum and - not dissimilarly to The Killing - takes many a twist and turn before arriving at its satisfying conclusion. Firstly, Sofia Helin is wonderful! She has a great face for portraying someone with a personality type that`s not inconsistent with Asperger`s; her blank expression and short answers are combined with a failure to engage and understand social convention, but her driven and intelligent personality make her a great investigator, who is completely reliable and faithful. Some of her remarks to her investigating partner, Martin, are fantastic. He`s a strong character too, and a likeable one (despite being unable to remain monogamous); in fact, there aren`t too many unlikeable people involved and as ever, the Danish/Swedish landscape and indeed actual Bridge look great...maybe it`s just me but there`s definitely something about Scandanavia that lends itself to these sorts of thrillers...the countries, actors and writers sure pull off a fine show. Season 2 coming Winter 2013, according to "sources". ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0072HTWQM | | Actors | Dag Malmberg, Iggy Malmborg, Kim Bodnia, Magnus Krepper, Sofia Helin | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 27,434 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 903 in World Cinema (DVD & Blu-ray) 2,565 in Crime (DVD & Blu-ray) 4,548 in Box Sets (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,245) | | Director | Björn Stein, Charlotte Sieling | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | Unqualified (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | Manufacturer reference | 5027035007762 | | Media Format | Anamorphic, Colour, HiFi Sound, PAL, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 3 | | Product Dimensions | 13.5 x 1.5 x 19 cm; 128 g | | Rated | Suitable for 15 years and over | | Run time | 9 hours and 40 minutes | | Studio | Arrow | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Format:** Anamorphic, Colour, HiFi Sound, PAL, Widescreen - **Language:** Danish, Swedish - **Number of discs:** 3 - **Runtime:** 9 hours and 40 minutes ## Images ![The Bridge - Series 1 [DVD] [2011] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+LIiZ0XyL.jpg) ![The Bridge - Series 1 [DVD] [2011] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91918LAWIvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very impressively done *by T***N on 29 April 2013* The Bridge is another example of the achievement of the much praised "Nordic Noir" with first class production values, a good believable script and a fine team of actors.

Season 2 coming Winter 2013, according to "sources". ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely brilliant! *by F***E on 29 October 2013* If you don't mind subtitles then you will absolutely love The Bridge! The Bridge is Danish drama about a murder investigation where a dead body is placed on Øresund Bridge which links Denmark and Sweden but the killer has placed the body on the border line and because of this both Sweden and Denmark work together to solve the case. The main characters are Saga Noren who is the lead detective for Malmo Police, Saga is a very sweet and innocent character who speaks before she thinks and has very poor social skills. Martin Rohde the lead detective for Copenhagen Police, Martin is a family man and he is a good man with a sense of humour. When Saga and Martin are paired up you immediately think this is a recipe for disaster but the more you see them together their relationship grows and Saga who is almost like a robot with no feelings begins to befriend Martin because he shows her kindness and he tries teaching her simple social etiquette, for example buying someone flowers on their birthday or wanting to get to know your colleagues, this is alien to Saga but Martin is patient with her even when she is difficult but they form a great partnership and you begin to love the characters. I don't want to say much more but it is a must watch and very well written and well made TV Series. The Bridge will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish and I really hope you enjoy it!!!!!! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Bridge - Series 1 [DVD] [2011] - The Bridge: Series 2 [DVD] - The Bridge: Series 3 [DVD] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/49458858-the-bridge-series-1-dvd-2011](https://www.desertcart.be/products/49458858-the-bridge-series-1-dvd-2011) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
