Abstract
The article examines the relation of structural, thematic and cinematographic means in the second season of the Danish/Swedish TV-series Bron/Broen and sets them in relation to the claim of, double storytelling" of a good story and a political or ethical message. After an attempt at visualizing the complexity of the plot construction, the focus is directed toward an analysis of the medialisation of crime as well as its detection. Scandinavian society is depicted as a surveillance state which the series does not explicitly question. The brutal crimes committed in the name of an ecological cause are presented as an outcome of extreme violence and personal evil, which turn the alleged social criticism into cultural pessimism and depict a very dark picture of the world.
