I expect to know a lot more about this show in the future. Probably more than I should. WITH VID

For those of us who like out TV, character driven, subtle and badass, FX has been delivering for a decade. Giving us our fix of redeemable anti-heros who most of us wish we were half as effective as, I greet with anticipation any new project they’ve rubber stamped. I present to you the trailer for their new drama, The Bridge, which has the trappings of possibly their next big hit. Keeping with their recipe for success this show seems to have all the ingredients necessary for a splendidly harrowing dark crime drama. The story of a joint investigation of a serial killer who operates on both sides of the US/Mexico border has the scintillatingly semi-plausible (well…) appeal a synopsis should have. High strung idiosyncratically sexy female detective? Check. Exotically handsome Mexican detective with an endearing accent and wit to spare? Check. Dark pasts for both? Probably. Thinly veiled sexual tension? Most likely. Throw in a creatively deranged serial killer who could be anyone, and I’m sold. Without further adieu…

Plus I can’t get over the irony of Buffalo Bill shocked by the killer’s brutal methods. Life really does come full circle!
