Anyone kinda hyped for this? For the past year, FX has had some real cryptic ads promoting this show and it was hard to understand what the premise was, but it looked intriguing. The full-length trailer came out a few weeks back. This should give you a better understanding as to what the show is about:



It feels kinda wrong to quote Calvin Candie, but as he said....you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.

The last show I was excited about (The Following) was a COMPLETE and utter dud, however I have faith in FX to do this series proper.

Here's the NYT review:


Border Mystery, Moved to a New Border
‘The Bridge,’ FX Series, Is Set on U.S.-Mexico Border

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. — Demián Bichir was filming a movie in the south of France when he was offered the lead role on a new television thriller, “The Bridge,” now filming here. He decided to run it past his colleagues, including his co-star Jude Law. “That’s when I found how great it was,” said Mr. Bichir, the actor perhaps best known for his work on “Weeds.” “They told me: ‘Are you kidding? It’s fantastic.’ ”

Gonna give it a watch. I remember FX used to just show glimpses of it and I never got what it was suppose to be about. :lol:
 
I just set the DVR to record this yesterday. FX rarely disappoints. Looking forward to this.
 
Those teaser trailers during The Americans got me interested.  I'm very curious as to what the show's about
 
i want to watch it cause of how much i liked the americans but the previews just dont really interest me

The Bridge of Tears
FX's remarkable new Mexican border drama is an immediate must-watch
By Andy Greenwald on July 10, 2013

iudad Juárez lies just across the river from El Paso but exists a universe away. While the latter has been repeatedly championed as the safest American city of its size, the reputation of its Mexican twin has moved in the opposite direction. Since the ratification of NAFTA in the early '90s, Juárez has become an obscene cyclotron of unchecked capitalism and violence. Young women are drawn there by the thousands to work low-paying but dependable jobs in duty-free American factories, called maquiladoras. Young men arrive by the truckload to work high-paying, extremely risky jobs with the Mexican cartels. And both are killed with terrifying regularity. Though Juárez lost its dubious honor of being the most violent city in the world in 2011 — a year in which it officially registered 2,086 murders out of a population of 1.2 million1 — the horror and savagery of the crimes, particularly those against women, lingers as the body count continues to rise. Theorists and thinkers have ascribed the death toll to globalization, misogyny, drug trafficking, magic, or some unholy combination of the lot, but there have been no good answers and no real solutions. Hundreds of pink crosses now dot the deserts outside of town to commemorate the victims and shame the forces of local corruption and international apathy. In the last interview before his death in 2003, the Chilean author Roberto Bolaño was asked to describe his vision of hell. Knowing his life was almost at its end, Bolaño didn't hesitate: "Like Ciudad Juárez," he replied, "which is our curse and our mirror."

Had The Killing and the Americans in the DVR, then a Walking Dead Marathon came out and pushed them out.

Are they on demand or on Netflix/Hulu?
 
Gon have to check it out. I fell off from the Americans, don't even know if the show picked up or not
 
Based on the greatness of The Americans, I'll check this show out.
 
Wasn't feeling Diane Kruger's character at first but then as the episode went on, I liked her a lot more. It's hard to do a role like this and distance yourself from Claire Danes in Homeland but the fact that the character has Asperger's makes you more receptive
 
I liked the premiere the two different bodies cut in half wow. I just wanted Lillard guy from scream movie to explode in the car I never liked him in anything

Very interested in this show it's like the killing which I also like.
 
her aspergers is a bit much and awkward but i like that im being challenged as the viewer

all in all im about sick of these spider sense superhero detectives that are od unrealistic

so im glad this broad is clueless for now
