Ok...time to start the conversation. I really liked it. It's the Killing meets The Wire kinda. The gal from Inglorious...I know it's tempting to say she is terrible, simply because she is so terrifically grating...but it seems like she has Asbergers or something...so it really is a good performance. Bechir, who i have never really cared for, is a wonderful partner for her. Soothing and charming where she is so harsh and off putting. The multiple storylines(there's the Wire influence) are all very enticing and the cast in general is up to the task. Is Buffalo Bill(Ted Levine) ever not good in stuff? Only gripe I had...and they may pay it off...they started the show with a tough sell. Someone being able to cripple the entire border and carefull arrange 2 parts of a dead body precisely on two different sides of the border(in DARKNESS). It's a hard way to start and a fairly big plot point.
Oh, really nice to see Matthew Lillard again.
edit:sorry, this is of course re:the Bridge.
Kruger's character does indeed have Aspergers. For some reason it is never addressed on the show, and I guess it was never addressed in the original series, either. I happened to read an article prior to the show's start in which the author revealed this and it made her character a bit easier to get. I am a fan of Bichir's, and I agree that he balances out Kruger's character nicely. What I liked about the show after just the pilot, is that there is so much more going on than just the 2 bodies on the bridge and the hunt for this serial killer. Politically, socially - there is so much more to this show. I have to give kudos to FX for "going there" with this topic regardless of how long this show will last.
Also, just saw an update on teh facebookz...and I'm going to paste it here, too: What do you think is behind the locked door?
My guess: a tunnel
