If you have watched the Bron / the bridge Swedish version, then go straight to season 2 since season 1 story is really similar to the Swedish version season 1. Season is completely different between the 2 movies and can be watched stand alone (not related to season 1). The story in season 2 mostly believable. I just don't like sometimes how the writer made the police do stupid things just to create a longer story or to fit the story into an 8episode-season. (good example of this is the movie 'the missing'). This movie has some moments like that but still forgivable and therefore believable. Overall, it is a movie that will pump up your adrenaline, and heartbeat a bit. It also has hearts just like a typical British crime movie. I thought both main characters did well in this version. A lot of the reviewers stated that they like Saga Norén character better. I watched the Swedish version almost a year ago. Elise character immediately warmed up to me in this version as did Roebuck's. Elise is definitely much younger in this version that probably created an I'm alanced perception with some viewers.
