Btw, the Roadside and Desert teasers aren't available anymore.

I found new copies and replaced the links.

Desert - an older white guy standing beside an RV in the middle of the desert, wearing naught but his tighty whiteys? Hmm, where have I seen that before?

- Tim Goodman's review for THR *some spoilers*

The Bridge is mandatory viewing for drama lovers, but it will be interesting to see where the writers take it and whether they have the big-league ability to make the evident potential materialize.

Sounds good!

Seems a strange thing not to mention the character's condition in the first three episodes.

I'm pretty excited for this show (now that Hannibal's finished it's season), so I hope that isn't any sort of turn-off for viewers.

Don't worry, the ratings will be terrible regardless thanks to FX's marketing people being intent on repeating Terriers.

They're starting to crank up the regular promos and the mainstream marketing now.

- FX rolling out some Spanish language promos, too (youtube)

As we've discussed before, it's going to be very interesting to see how they handle language, subtitles, and a host of other issues with this show.

Sounds awesome. This and Breaking Bad will be my summer shows.

Andy Greenwald on the current pivot from anti-hero television to murder victim television:

- The Bridge, Broadchurch, and TV's Victim Obsession

His full review of The Bridge is coming soon(ish), but in the meantime he had this to say:

This summer, viewers will have two equally strong options when it comes to juvenile corpses, shocked communities, and dogged, troubled investigators. The Bridge, premiering July 10 on FX, is an outstanding hour about the hunt for a serial killer on both sides of the U.S./Mexico border, written by Meredith Stiehm, the MVP of the Homeland writers' room. (I'll be writing much more on it soon.)

What's the other option?

 

[brianjones]

looking forward to this

 

[Cornballer]

What's the other option?

Broadchurch on BBCA

 

[TheOddOne]

You making the OT cornballer?

If not, I'll give it a go.

Yeah, I got this one covered. Thanks, though.

Cool

Broadchurch on BBCA

Ah, okay. Seems like Broadchurch has quite a bit of hype behind it. I'll probably try to check it out when it premieres over here.

 

[Cornballer]

This starts up next Wednesday, and we're just a little over a week away from the premiere.

I'll get the OT up sometime this week.

FX may have struck dramatic gold again. This series is mesmerizing. It sucks you in like a good book and has you yearning for more.

I like the sound of that.

Good to see the positive buzz. The cast looks amazing, so this has to be solid

That is a pretty well known and sad fact. Hollywood has no use for more than five women over the age of 35. If the 18 - 34 demographic doesn't want to fuck you you're shit out of luck.

 

[jtb]

this looks really good. and it begins a week from now? hyped.

 

[Fantastical]

They had trailers/promos for this before World War Z when I saw it last weekend.

A shame. I'm in the 18-34 demographic and I'd totally fuck Diane Kruger. I mean, GODDAMN.
