The Bridge is one of those cop shows where the drama within the police department is more of the focus than crime on the street not unlike “The Shield” or “The Wire”.The premiere of The Bridge features a few cases — a pickup truck that’s running down homeless people, a group of corrupt cops raiding drug dealers for cash and dope, and an arrest that could get a good cop in trouble — but they’re not really the focus.
The premiere of The Bridge is far from perfect. Some of the supporting cast is downright awful and the dialogue often sounds pulled from the “Cop Show Cliche Handbook.”
The Bridge illustrates that sometimes just having a believable lead can make generic dialogue bearable.
