Saga is at the centre of the show as a socially awkward female detective who, it is implied is on the Asperger’s spectrum, though the show never really spells it out. A lot of the credit for that goes to Sofia Helin’s extraordinary portrayal of one of the two investigators.Ĭreated by Hans Rosenfeldt, Bron/Broen is headlined by detective Saga Noren (Helin) and her counterpart from Copenhagen, Martin Rohde (Kim Bodnia). The multiple spin-offs have all worked to some degree of success, with the American version The Bridge, starring Diane Kruger, running for two seasons, but none of them have been able to replicate the success of the original. The series is now headed to Asia, with Endemol Shine and Vui working on a remake set between Malaysia and Singapore. The show has been aired in about 188 territories and countries, and has inspired multiple remakes set across the international borders of US/Mexico, UK/France, Germany/Austria and Russia/Estonia. The collaboration extends to the production as well: Bron/Broen is a successful partnership between the public broadcasting networks of Denmark and Sweden and features both the Swedish and Danish languages. This leads to a joint investigation by the police forces of the two countries. A dead body is found, half of which lies in Sweden and the other half in Denmark. Bron/Broen (The Bridge) starts at the Oresund bridge, which sits on the strait that creates the border between Denmark and Sweden.
