‘Syberia 3’ Review (Nintendo Switch)

‘The Bridge: The Complete Season Four’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

When it comes to The Bridge, the relationship between Saga (Sofia Helin) and Henrick (Thure Lindhardt) is everything. This is why in the fourth season, with the focus being less on the police procedure and more on the emotion works so well. Two years later than the events of the last season, the brutal murder […]
