Is there going to be a second season?

Count me in for Season 2. This series was just stupendous.

I wonder how the show would be adapted? Will they stick with the Russian invasion of Norway or imagine a foreign country invading the US?

Subtitles don't bother me at all and I use them all the time anyway to make sure I catch the words. The only bad thing about subtitles on foreign films is that you can't just listen while you go to the fridge and pop a beer. Your eyes have to be on the screen all the time.

I agree about The Bridge; Bron was much better. I also preferred State of Play, the original British version, and Edge of Darkness, British version. And let's not even mention how Americans had the nerve to attempt reproducing Prime Suspect.

US version? listen I love this show but I'm not sure it would make a great deal of sense to an American public if it was set in the US. Red Dawn was set during the height of the Cold war when we thought we had a superior enemy facing us and even that movie was met with skepticism, the recent remake of it was just plan ridiculous. The problem is that its almost ingrained in the American psyche that any amount of overt foreign aggression against our territory should be met with earth shattering levels of violence. No president would conceivable act like the Norwegian PM in this show. It wouldn't matter if the president was elected from the most ultra leftist green party the US could produce, the legacy and doctrine of our military complex would cry out to force the government's hand in defending US sovereignty.

I just finished series 1 and am thrilled it will continue.
And I am an American who doesn't mind subtitles one bit :)

The Bridge was a decent show in its second season once it became its own show instead of remaking scripts. Aside from magically curing autism between seasons and never mentioning it. Much like the change between first and subsequent seasons of The Office.

The Killing would have been a better example of a messed up remake, as the American producers removed all the elements of Forbrydelsen that made it a good show, and then just carried it on it that vein.

But then even the UK where Bron/Broen is a big hit we still made our own remake too, although that is subtitled too with half of it in French.

Well, I'm American and I've enjoyed this series, as have many other Americans I know...As if the dislike of subtitles were an American thing...Why be so insulting?

I watched this show over the last week on Netflix and thought it was great I am happy to learn there will be a second season. as far as amazon doing a US version well I don't think it's needed and really makes any sense. I haven't seen any shows from Norway but this was really well done and acted.
