A woman is found murdered in the middle of Oresund Bridge, exactly on the border between Sweden and Denmark. Saga Noren from Malmo CID and Martin Rohde from the Copenhagen police department are called to the scene. What at first looks like one murder turns out to be two. The bodies have been brutally cut off at the waist and joined together - the torso of a high-profile Swedish politician and the lower body of a Danish prostitute. The Swedish and Danish police need to cooperate in a race against the clock, desperately searching for a murderer determined to go beyond all moral limits to get his message across. (BBC)

I had been looking forward to rewatching this series for quite some time. The Swedish-Danish collaboration took me by surprise years ago and made me reconsider my approach to crime series. Now that I know what to expect, I'm keen to see how Bron holds up for me. After the first episode, I'm satisfied because both the case's quality and the characters clearly exceed the usual standard. / Lesson learned: "Divide and conquer" doesn't apply here. It should be "divide and investigate."
