It's based on a Danish/Swedish show called Broen.

I intended to watch it, but I was reluctant to pick up yet another show to follow  [laugh]
It was that good?

I was intrigued after reading this write-up on Grantland:

Now, Kopfjager you count as a 'second', so I'm in.  Will start watching.

AFAIK they filmed 13 episodes.

I liked the premise and enjoyed the Mexican cop.  I couldn't stand Diana Kruger (the American cop).

Will give it a few more episodes before deciding.  I really want it to be good because I've got nothing until Breaking Bad starts in August.

I think they don't want us to like her. She has some issues with her sisters death etc.. I think the Cop from Juarez will bring her around.

Yeah, I get that we aren't supposed to like her so much, but I think it's a little over the top.  But, as I say, I like the rest and will give it a few episodes before deciding if I'm all in.

The Mexico/US bordertown crime theme is a good setting.

It's early on, she's a pain in the ass, but I think she'll come around.

I am starting to accept her.  Didn't see last night's episode yet---do I assume something happened that should make me like her?

She does have Asperger syndrome, that's why she's a little wacky.

Yeah, once I understood that was her deal, I became more accepting.  Now she doesn't bother me.  Kruger plays the character very well.

Just caught last episode.  Best one yet.  I'm starting to get interested.

I was able to catch the whole Asperger's thing on the first episode since my son is Aspergian. I watched the first few episodes, but have been way to busy to keep up.

I was 'meh' for me until the last few episodes.  Getting better as more bodies pile up.
