The Bridge BBC TWO, 9.00PM
Screenwriter Hans Rosenfeldt still has a couple of tasks to complete in the final two episodes of his superior, if at times preposterous, Scandithriller, before it bows out for good next week. The over-arching riddle since Henrik Sabroe (Thure Lindhardt) joined the Danish cop shop in series three is what happened to his two daughters, who’d gone missing eight years ago. In tonight’s penultimate episode that question is answered, and of course it’s Henrik’s colleague and sometime lover, on-the-spectrum brainbox Saga Norén (Sofia Helin), who figures it out. But as we’ve seen over nearly four series, Rosenfeldt can’t be relied on for a happy ending. Tonight, fans will be cheered to see Saga – so often a forlorn, misunderstood character – make solid progress in both the case and in therapy, which bodes well for her future. But this isn’t a cosy relationship drama, and rest assured there are lurid shocks that set us up for next week’s finale. Vicki Power
