Don't listen to the naysayers. I am always amused by reviewers claim to have seen the "original" foreign version and then proceed to give one or two stars to any American version.
I have watched the original of this series and liked it a lot. So I was interested to see how the show was recast for an American audience. So far, the plot is very true to the original and as close as it can given the change in countries.
And it is at least as good as the original as far as the first show is concerned. What I liked about this show is the interesting twist of the two partners who are effectively forced to team up with each other.
For me, the Americanization of the plot line was a positive and I thought was very well done. Try this show and I think you will like it if you like solid police procedurals with an interesting twist in the personalities of the main characters.
Edit: After watching the first 5 episodes of this sleeper show of the season, I believe this version tops the original. It grabbed my attention from the beginning and its interweaving of the US border problems, drug dealing and wild west type newspaper headlines is very well done.

Season one might have had lower lows, but it also had higher, wilder highs, moments when the series seemed as unpredictable and unique as anything on TV.
For the most part, season two has lost much of that, keeping everything closer to the mean. That might result in nothing as drop-dead silly as the ultimate reveal of last season's serial killer's motivation, but it also means there's rarely anything as soulful or unexpected as some of the scenes between Kruger and Bichir from last year.
Too many episodes skew away from that wildness and unpredictability and toward something far more conventional. The Bridge might have amped up its brain in season two, but in so doing, it's misplaced much of its heart.
