Channel 4 The Bridge

[ILikeTrains]

Okay, I don't know if my search skills are lacking or if there really is no thread about the recent reality show 'The Bridge'. I've just caught up on the finale so came on here to see what others had thought....but alas! No discussions - at least I couldn't see any.

If there is a thread could I be pointed to it please. If not, did anyone else watch?

I've just started Ep1 (so no spoilers please!)

It says that only 1 can win - do they vote for the one? Can the one share?

It could have been an interesting experiment but sadly they went down the usual route of picking a bunch of people based on conflicting personalities for maximum drama. It seems the bridge project is a distant second to the bickering. There is also an annoying trend in these programmes for a 'human interest' angle, all the contestants have some kind of emotional journey to make to get over some life trauma that is slowly drip fed into the series. Personally I would rather they pulled together people with skills to carry out the project and watch how a cooperating team get the job done without the silly sideshow games.
