Two cities, two tours and a bridge to Scandi noir
I caught my first glimpse of the bridge while coming in to land at Copenhagen airport. We were still quite high but there was no mistaking it stretching out across the expanse of rippling blue water separating Denmark from Sweden. I had dreamed of this moment; I’d had nightmares about it.

The Bridge series 4 episode 1 review: The lack of Saga Noren is problematic
The beginning of The Bridge series four - the show’s first episode in two years - presents us with an image more unsettling than anything we’ve seen in the Nordic noir before: a slipper-wearing Saga Noren (Sofia Helin) confined to a prison cell. Saga’s Danish counterpart Henrik - a charismatic Thure Lindhardt returning having replaced Kim Bodnia for series three - is out solving crime on his own.

Sofia Helin: Saga’s over 40, socially awkward and wears no make-up … but fans still love her
The Bridge actress Sofia Helin has hailed the popularity of her character Saga Norén as a “sign that the world is maturing” when it comes to women on screen. The Swedish star, who has played the blunt-speaking detective in the Swedish/Danish crime series since 2011, said the character was untypical of most female roles. Although not specified — writer Hans Rosenfeldt has said “the audience have decided” — homicide detective Saga is believed to have Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism.
