Posted September 19, 201212 yr Let's discuss them here instead of hijacking poor The Killing thread as it was already hijacked by all this Forbrydelsen talk :lol:
September 19, 201212 yr Indeed, Borgen is very very good. I haven't really watched any others yet, but The Bridge is on THE LIST.
September 19, 201212 yr Broen/Bron/The Bridge (so many names!) is absolutely fantastic. AND THE ENDING!!! I died a little on the inside! Borgen is coming back to BBC4 in January, right? I need something Scandinavian in my life now that I can no longer take Swedish at uni. </3 Are there any other ones I can download? Something dark and moody would be great. Never really got into Wallander or whatever it's called. I might try Lilyhammer, but I'm not mad about comedy (even though it's 'comedy drama'). Apparently Forbrydelsen III is coming this winter to BBC4, also? This has to be true!
September 19, 201212 yr I can't wait for Borgen II, the first season was absolutely amazing! The Killing has got to be one of the very best shows of this century thus far.
September 19, 201212 yr Borgen was brilliant. I've only seen the second series of The Killing which was also excellent. I really need to get round to seeing the first series. I've seen the first episode of Lilyhammer. I'll watch the second but it will need to be better than the first for me to want to watch more.
September 20, 201212 yr Author Forbrydelsen III starts in 3 days in Denmark :w00t: Have to power through season 2 over the weekend. :D
September 22, 201212 yr After failing to learn from the abysmal remake of The Killing, the bloody americans are at it again. This time they are going to rape and destroy Broen/Bron
March 3, 201312 yr Author OH MY GAWD I've been watching Bron/Broen all day. 3 episodes left. Fantastisk show! Characters get killed off like flies! :D
March 3, 201312 yr It is THE best of all of the Scandi shows I've seen. Yes, better than Forbrydelsen (which in all honesty in just a little bit overrated). Apparently there's a second season on the way, although I can't imagine how it could feasibly feature both Saga and Martin. Rather inevitably, there are also US and UK remakes coming.
March 3, 201312 yr Author How are they going to imitate the Denmark/Sweden border though? It's not like two big cities of two countries that don't require visa to visit each other can be found so easily in North America. Yeah, they might do this with states but it won't be the same AT ALL. I'm watching with subtitles and it's SO cool to hear both danish and swedish so often in the same show.
March 3, 201312 yr The US show will be set on the border between Mexico and Texas. To be fair it's by FX and stars Diane Kruger so there's good pedigree there. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/blog_post_349_width/2013/02/the_bridge_1_a_p.jpg The UK/French one is called The Tunnel which is pretty self-explanatory. It's got Stannis from Game of Thrones and Fleur Delacour from Harry Potter in it. :D
March 3, 201312 yr OH MY GAWD I've been watching Bron/Broen all day. 3 episodes left. Fantastisk show! Characters get killed off like flies! :D Just wait until you see who they kill off in the final episode. Still heartbroken.
March 3, 201312 yr The UK/FR one could actually be really good. That's a massive language and culture barrier plus the English and French can't stand each other. At least the Scandinavian languages are a little similar. The US/MX one I have mixed feelings about. While the network looks good people said that about AMC when they raped The Killing. The American Killing is possibly the worst remake ever made. I've finished 5-0 so I think I might just get round to watching some of my ScandiShows this week ^_^
March 4, 201312 yr Author Just wait until you see who they kill off in the final episode. Still heartbroken. I so f***ing knew that would happen. Nobody substantial is left in that episode :lol: Although you-know-what was a bit MISLEADING. So sad :( Incredible show. Definitely my favourite Scandinavian show too now. Such Murders, twists and Saga *.*
March 16, 201312 yr Just finished Bron/Broen. Saga :wub: I hope Diane Kruger does her justice. And the last episode :no: ... Wondering which of these other shows I should tackle next. But all I want is more Saga Norén, Malmö CID. :heart-old:
March 30, 201312 yr I've downloaded Den som dræber (Those Who Kill). I'll probably start watching it next week. IOSAzPkpIM8 Looks quite good! :D
