The Bridge TV series debuts July 10th on the FX cable network

A murder-mystery that unfolds between two cities along the United States-Mexico border is the subject of a new TV series airing this month.

"The Bridge"debuts on the FX cable network July 10 at 10 p.m. 

The show details the complex relationship between two neighboring nations. It begins with a body dumped on the international crossing between El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juárez. One half of the body is in Mexico, the other in the United States.

"There's a cop that comes across from Juárez and there's a cop that comes across from El Paso," said the show's producer Patrick Markey.  "They meet in the middle and try at that point to decide the jurisdictional issues and who owns the case."

The first episode depicts an American city indifferent to the plight of its southern neighbor. In real life, unprecedented drug violence has taken the lives of more than 10,000 people in the last four years in Juárez.
