cbfalcon 824 Posted July 10, 2014 A little disappointed in the season premier. Enough to where im a little worried about the show making it. The show has a ton of moving parts.....but some ofthe parts you can just see are unnecessary The hispanic journalist thats a lesbian? Who cares about that storyline? Just seems like there are a lot of loose end stories running around that need to get tied together. This article sums up much of how I felt about the Bridge last season. http://grantland.com/features/fx-the-bridge-juarez-mexico-border-immigration/ Summarized, I think the setting and characters had a ton of potential. I wanted the show to be an all encompassing look at that violent border scene. Somewhat like The Wire was with Baltimore. Obviously nothing will be THAT amazing, but still.....Yet the serial killer storyline sucked. I bailed quick......But it appears the 2 writers were having the same debate, and the writer that wants to go my direction won. I can't comment on the premiere, but I DVRd it and plan to watch this season in an effort to see if they can make it work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be intersting to see what ratings the show got last night. But not good to lose half your audience from pilot to finale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that Gus was mentioned early in the first one, but I don't recall hearing anything since then... Not at all......i mean i think the little meeting with the Captain and the cartel boss (Cant recall his name)...eluded to them helping each other (AKA killing Tate)....but nothing direct. I looked but couldnt find the ratings for last week? This show going to make it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its viewership average of 1.18 million also ranks as a series low. Last week’s season premiere episode posted a 0.5 rating with 1.50 million viewers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last week’s season premiere episode posted a 0.5 rating with 1.50 million viewers. I made it through the first episode but just barely. Second is still sitting on the DVR. Don't know if I'm going to watch it or not. I had plans to replace "The Bridge" with "The Strain", but from what I watched - half of the first episode - it is laughably bad.

IGotWorms 3,345 Posted July 23, 2014 They screwed up last year getting derailed with the stupid bad guy revenge fantasy thing. Show never got quite back on track and I'd be real surprised if they managed to turn it around at this point. First two episodes of the season seem to be adrift Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posty 2,297 Posted July 23, 2014 How long does that go on before it gets pulled? Well, The Americans got renewed with numbers that "went as low as a 0.3 rating with 1.12 million viewers late in its second season." But that show has better DVR numbers... I would think it would last the entire season and then probably dumped after that... I mean, what else do they have to put into that slot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

posty 2,297 Posted October 21, 2014 Canceled... http://tvline.com/2014/10/21/the-bridge-cancelled-season-3-fx/ The Bridge has collapsed. FX on Tuesday pulled the plug on the Diane Kruger-Demian Bichir drama after two low-rated seasons, TVLine has confirmed. The show ended its run earlier this month with 1 million viewers and a 0.3 demo rating, slightly below its Season 2 average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
parrot 789 Posted October 22, 2014 That's too bad. They assembled a good cast for that show (the two reporters notwithstanding), and had a decent premise. Too bad they couldn't find any writers who could build a coherent plot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
