Well, the ability for the Kulina sons both biological and honorary to keep things on the straight and narrow only took a few weeks to completely implode. Not that this is a shock in any way, but it is tough to watch regardless. When Jay is the one with his life the most together (or if not together, at least with some sort of twisted plan he’s following), it should be a clear sign that everybody else needs to regroup and look at what they’re doing. What Kingdom does well in “Flowers” is point everyone down a clear path of self destruction without making it overly obvious. Yes, it is expected that the status quo of everyone in the gym being happy and/or healthy has a shelf life,...

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
After the bulk of the plot of the first major seasonal arc was wrapped up in the previous episode, I was very curious to see how the remaining two episodes of the season would achieve what it needed to provide resolution to the remaining plots and reconcile Sonya and Marco, especially now that The Bridge has been renewed for a second thirteen episode season. “All About Eva” was in fact about much more than that as the end of the all consuming David Tate plot allowed the show to open back up and return to the plots of Steven Linder and Charlotte Millwright in addition to our lead detectives. This episode, after what I felt was a slightly disappointing ending to the Bridge Butcher plot, was all about returning the show to its core strengths. It more than succeeded by not only resurrecting the looming significance...

The Bridge, Season 1, Episode 12: “All About Eva”
Written by Esta Spalding and Fernanda Coppel
Directed by Sj Clarkson
Airs Wednesdays at 10pm Est on FX
This week’s episode is a crucial one- after “Take the Ride, Pay the Toll” wrapped up the season-long mystery last week, we’re left with only two episodes this season. That’s too much time if the PtB are only going wrap up the hanging threads from the Tate arc and potentially not enough time for them to start something new. For the show to succeed over multiple seasons, though, a new border-spanning case is necessary and we get just that this week with the abduction and rape of Eva in Juarez by a mysterious Texas-plated car. This case feels like a bit more of a stretch for calling in our favorite international crime-fighting team than the half-bodies posed on the literal border,...

Written by Fernanda Coppel

More than halfway through its debut season, The Bridge has finally revealed its long-teased baddie and his dark intentions. Except that, after a substantial buildup of intriguing socio-political motivations, it seems that was all a smokescreen to lure Marco Ruiz north of the border so our villain could set into motion his far more personal, and far less interesting, revenge-fueled plan. With the various criminal factions at work so far this season, one could easily be forgiven for being confused after this reveal. There’s the immigrant- and now gun-smuggling group, who seem to have some connection one generation back with Marco, there’s the Beast, the nameless man or men slaughtering young women in Jaurez, there’s Jack Childress, who kidnapped Maria and tied her up in the desert (potentially?...
