I liked both seasons, along with the original language Wallander, Engrenages and The Killing not as much.


Find the whole idea of the bridge being (been?) remade as an Anglo French 'the tunnel' abomination slightly cringeworthy.

The Americans remade The Bridge with a female American detective and a male Mexican one - it worked quite well but not as good as the original I thought, and the second series was even better (I wonder if the Americans will remake this one too). Apparently a third series is being made so we'll find out exactly what has happened re Martin and Jens.

Surely there is no doubt that Martin has offed Jens? Saga admitted to Martin that she committed a crime and stitched up her mother. There must be some trade off in this?


Will they prove Martin did it without Saga's know how? Is this to come?


They have a fooking eco terrorist to catch FFS!


Cannot wait until Series 3. Sadly I reckon it will be about 2 years?

Nah!! Its all supposition.


Saga came to a logical conclusion because:

1 - poison is missing

2 - Martin has access to the poison

3 - Martin blames Jens for the breakdown of his marriage

4 - Martin visited Jens in prison

5 - Saga saw Martin drop an empty coffee cup into a litter bin

6 - Martin habitually takes coffee for Jens in Prison

7 - Jens has died, possibly by suicide, possibly not


Saga told Martin that "I know what you did", Martin said "Yes you do", but are they talking about the same thing?


There is still nothing to say that Martin killed Jens.


If Martin killed Jens, he will be in prison for all of the next series and that is not going to work.


I think that the next series will start with Martin completely pissed off at Saga for dobbing him in for something he didn't do when he was distraught and vulnerable after he was kicked out by his wife. Then people die and other stuff happens ...

Jens asked Martin to help him commit suicide as Martin had got to him. Martin let Jens poison himself and disposed of the tainted coffee cup. Manslaugter not murder. Saga will destroy the cup evidence and Martin will get off, and they will both have evaded the law, and carry on sleuthing.

The next series will not include the ecoterrorist as he got away,unsolved,end of. Great prog.

Not quite. Martin asked "Do you think I did it?" and she replied "You know I do". However, as you say they could be talking about different things, but what?


> 5 - Saga saw Martin drop an empty coffee cup into a litter bin


More than that - she went back to retrieve it and presumably wouldn't have acted without confirmation that the coffee cup contained the poison.


More to the point, however, was that if Jens was indeed poisoned and it turned out to be the same liquid as was from the missing bottle from the evidence store, trying to find a way to unpin it from Martin is going to be impressive. The only other outcomes would be that either Jens wasn't poisoned (unlikely) or that his poisoning wasn't necessarily from the bottle and that Martin (or someone else) had taken it but for other means. Had Martin considered suicide after Mette rejected him, perhaps?

Which does not prove that Martin killed Jens just that Saga thinks he did. Martin did not confirm or deny.

Ah, but was there enough time to do the test? She took the coffee cup in the evening, went to see Martin's boss and shortly after arrested him. As yet, we do not know that the coffee cup contained poison. Previously Martin has left Jens with his coffee. Perhaps the coffee cup that Martin had and binned was simply Martin's coffee cup?

We still have a shadowy bad guy who seems all powerful at the moment. Who is to say that he didn't organise it to disrupt the Martin/ Saga partnership? No more outlandish than any of the other bits of manipulation that he has undertaken.

    • We’ve just done a loft extension and needed it all painted as well as touch ups to the rest of the house. Our experience with Hussein and his team was great. Communication good, they turned up on time every day, and completed the job in the time frame initially stated. The finished job looks great, I would definitely recommend.
    • Sue, we are in a similar position - though not quite as ancient as you! 🤣 Ours is a 21 year old Honda Civic.  Reliable as hell, IS ULEZ compliant, passes all the tests, MOTS etc.  BUT, as it sits on the drive most of the time, is now as dead as a doornail to the extent that we can no longer open it with the fob, though we are able to open the passenger door only, with the key.  Jump leads didn't work, so hubby bought a "starter" similar to what breakdown companies use.  Nowt.  Hubby then called out the AA who were able to start it via their van.  However, the AA advised leaving the car running for at least an hour and a half.  We decided not to do that as the fumes would be unpleasant for us and our neighbours.  They also informed us that unless we replaced the battery, we would not be able to call them out again.  Long story short, once we turned the engine off it wouldn't re-start.  So, hubby has now bought a trickle charger from Argos (roughly £35 and AA approved).  Apparently it could take up to 100 hours to charge and given that we don't want to leave it charging overnight or in the rain, it will be a while before we will know whether this has solved the issue.  So, watch this space! I am hoping this £35 will be a good investment.
