From Bill Harris of QMI Agency:

• Cdn ‘Bridge’ has American feel
  “The atmosphere of this Canadian series is very, very American, right down to the accents of some of the characters. That’s an interesting result, given the Canadian pedigree of The Bridge. It was inspired by the insights of former Toronto police union head Craig Bromell, who serves as an executive producer.” Read more.
