The Bridge (2011)

A body is left on the bridge between Denmark and Sweden, exactly on the border, so Swedish detective Saga Norén has to share the case with Danish inspector Martin Rohde. She is blunt to the point of rudeness and follows rules to the letter; he is warm, rumpled and happy to bend them. Sofia Helin plays Saga in all four seasons, and her later partnership with a different Danish detective gives the series a second, quite different chemistry. Expect grim cases and subtitles, with the dry comedy coming almost entirely from the pair.
