Ed Cumming Independent (UK) 11/09/2020
2/5
The problem from the start, which The Bridge never finds a way around, is that while bridges are interesting, the process of building a bridge is not. Go to Full Review Kevin Fallon The Daily Beast 08/27/2021
The Bridge is, for all its slight faults and uneven storytelling, refreshing. There's a bare-bones appeal to The Bridge that almost reads as nostalgic in the age of reality-TV bombast. Go to Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred 03/08/2021
B+
Instead of leaving the competition to a simple but incredibly challenging task-building a bridge in 20 days, physically and metaphorically-the producers have piled on twists, and The Bridge sinks a little with every one. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 03/04/2021
3/5
British DIY reality challenge has cursing, scheming. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 02/12/2021
The gameplay on The Bridge is needlessly complicated, which is a bad sign that the main game - and the cast - aren't interesting enough to carry the show for an entire season. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
