mrsdalgliesh September 4, 2014 Share September 4, 2014 from Andy Greenwald at Grantland (who says this is the best show no one is watching): It’s probably best to confront The Bridge’s ratings with that same, Sonya-style bluntness: They suck. Even FX, with its admirable stand against the outdated concept of overnights, can’t ignore the fact that less than a million people are watching this show on Wednesday nights. My guess is that the network will file this year away as an admirable experiment and gently pull the plug. I very much hope this is not the case. The Bridge has come into its own in this second season. It feels crackly and limitless in the way only the very best fiction can. It has been goofy and gruesome, over the top and remarkably restrained. It imbues every living character with the unpredictable strangeness some people call soul. And despite what Chopper said, it treats every death, even minor ones, as a hole torn into the universe. The Bridge isn’t a book, but it engages and haunts me like only the best of them do. Here’s hoping FX doesn’t force me to put it down anytime soon. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4691-the-bridge-in-the-media/#findComment-348866

thuganomics85 September 10, 2014 Share September 10, 2014 Cool little interview with Matthew Lillard. He talks about his entire career, but the first part is a lot about The Bridge. He talks about the audition process (interesting that it was Annabeth Gish who suggested he try out), how he had to fight for the role somewhat, and that originally, Daniel was suppose to actually die in Episode 10 (when he fell off the bridge), but they changed their mind, because they liked him so much. Overall, a pretty good read, and he comes off like a pretty self-aware guy, when it comes to his career. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4691-the-bridge-in-the-media/#findComment-365090
seamusk October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 I just finished season 2 and was wondering about renewal. I came across this article on what they have planned going forward. I'm not sure if some of the commentary could be considered spoilery as it just talks in broad strokes about what they want to do with the show (and I love the basic idea there). Anyhow, the show runner Elwood Reid says: I’m a realist. The numbers aren’t there. I would love a third season. We won a Peabody Award. I think this is the kind of show that should be on the air. It’s telling a unique story, and it’s in Spanish, which not a lot of cable shows can point to doing that. Unfortunately, we’re being judged by the basic cable stick, where the numbers do matter.Originally posted: http://seriable.com/bridge-season-3-4-plans-confirmed-fx-unhappy-numbers/#ixzz3FcFnv3Ry 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4691-the-bridge-in-the-media/#findComment-450911
