In short, the best new show of the past season was "The American," the FX drama about Russian spies working in the U.S.

So I have high hopes for "The Bridge," a remake of a European show that now pairs a Mexican detective with an American counterpart after a body was found on the border. It airs at 10 p.m. on Wednesday's starting tonight, July 10.

Hoping for another gem, much like the Sci Fi network's "Defiance," perhaps the best show of the early summer.
