Surprised by Hans dying, I assumed they'd have him pull through. </3

Poor Saga's really going through the emotional wringer, I guess it doesn't get much worse than your mother killing herself and framing you for her "murder" and then the closest thing to a real father figure dying. Sofia Helin is knocking it out of the park, too.

As for the case, I'm still not entirely convinced that Annika (or Annika alone) is the killer. I can't help but think it might be Claes and he's bumped Annika off. Or maybe it really is Emil and he's framing Annika. I also suspected Holst's wife Asa briefly too when she was talking to Henrik about female serial killers, that seemed odd, but then I remembered a scene of the killer watching her from the car so I don't think she's involved.

I really didn't see the Astrid reveal coming until the episode it happened where I started putting it together. Now I'm wondering if I'm being dense, if Henrik had earlier referred to one of his daughters as Astrid then of course it would have been clear the whole time but I couldn't recall his daughters names and I'm honestly not sure if he ever said them. If he did, yes I suppose I was dense :ninja2: I kept waiting to see how the village story would connect to the serial killer mystery (beyond the taxi driver abusive husband briefly being a suspect) so having it actually be part of the "Henrik's missing family" story was a great twist I thought.

And I loved the ending of the latest episode with Susanne now looking like the prime candidate for the killer. Likely another red herring but a really good ending nonetheless.

the killer's MO of killing loved ones of their actual targets. Now I'm thinking they'll go after Astrid and either Saga or Henrik will die protecting her. I'm leaning towards Henrik dying and Saga taking care of Astrid in his stead (which would be an ironic turn of events after she aborted her child to stay with Henrik)

The last scene was so deep and beautiful and a deserving closure to the story :love:

Case first. I was satisfied with Susanne and Kevin / Brian being the killers (Susanne being the creepy hospital clown had me shook). The scene where Brian held Astrid and Henrik hostage was genuinely tense, I really thought he'd killed Astrid when we heard the shot. I also liked how they revealed one killer first and then made it seem like the rest of the episode would be tying up Saga's story before the second reveal.

I also really liked how they tied in Saga's attempted murder at the start of the series to the case. At the time that seemed like an unnecessary shock value moment that went nowhere so I like how that paid off in the end. Also, is this the first time in The Bridge history that the killers were around since the first episode? :clap1: (one gripe I've had with the show in the past had been the killers usually being later introductions)

As for the conclusion to the series overall, I loved that too. Having it end with Saga on the titular bridge throwing her police badge into the water and answering the phone with just "Saga Noren" was perfect. I love that woman.

One last Martin appearance would have been cool, when Saga went to visit her old cell mate I actually thought she was visiting Martin at first :laugh:
