The Killing - One death
I just think this series is brilliant. The filming, acting, script,music etc is done so well.The amazing thing is after watching so many TV Series murder seriesthis one shows the results to an ordinary family of a murder. There isno glossing over the real suffering and ongoing agony of the family andfriends.The investigators are real people going through the turmoil of doingtheir job and suffering the pain of what they are actuallyinvestigating. Following the fight for mayoral candidates and ruinedlives this murder leaves in its wake, is almost to real to watch.Please watch this series and give it a chance.
Filip Kolev (24 May 2012)
From a crime show fan: I loved it!
OK, maybe 10 stars is a bit exaggerated but I just couldn't helpmyself. I've seen a lot of shows in the genre, including all the CSIs,NCISes, Criminal Minds (plus Suspect Behavior), and so on and so on.You get my point, I've seen a lot and it's pretty hard for a new showto impress or surprise me. This one is different. Refreshinglydifferent. So, in comparison to all its direct competitors there is afull 10 above my review, well deserved, even though it may not be thegreatest show you've seen on TV. Why did I like it so much? Well, the pace to start with something. Itis somewhat slower than you'd expect. It doesn't drag, but it's notracing ahead either. After the pilot ended I looked back and said tomyself, "so that's what I'm missing in CSI..." It gives you a chance tokeep with the storyline, to empathize with the characters, to immerseyourself in this dark (and rainy) atmosphere. The slower than averagepace (what is in my observations average), in other words, makes itmore enjoyable and conveys more emotion.Emotion is the second thing I may point out. Well, it's not a rollercoaster after which you'll be crying, but you genuinely start caringfor one dead girl and her devastated family. Again, I am missing thisin most other shows where death is so common and the whole episoderevolves around a few suspects and a bunch of evidence, that you neverget a chance to realize how terrible the whole situation is. Maybe somescenes do that, but these constitute a small fraction of the episode.Not here though. There are no high-tech gadgets that give you ananswer. In The Killing you can almost feel the pressure the entiretime. The family of the girl receives a good deal of attention and youcan see the suffering in the hours and days after their daughter andsister goes missing and afterwards found dead. How does a day passafter such a tragedy? The policemen are also affected in their own wayand you can sense it. Who killed Rosie Larsen? By the end you start caring for the answer andit eats you. Until you find out who did it and why there will beanticipation of the next episode. A very enjoyable experience for crimeshow fans. Give it a chance and I hope you'll like it.

Superb television.
I intended to watch the original Danish version... but the copy I gothold of didn't have subtitles. My Danish was far too rusty (Jeg harglemt naesten alt!), so I started the US version instead.American drama is rightly lauded for the quality of it's output overrecent years. The Sopranos, The West Wing etc... etc...This series is of similarly high quality, but has an additional 'buzz'for me... and that is that it revisits 'Twin Peaks' This is not acriticism. I welcome it.I have nothing 'clever' to say, no production values to explore... andno juvenile views on the attractiveness of the female actors. Theseries achieves the remarkable feat of doing justice to the Danishoriginal, while celebrating one of Americas finest achievements in TV.I won't bang on about "superb this" and "superb that"... suffice tosay, If you like riveting telly... this is a treat.
knucklebreather (22 May 2012)
Promising
"The Killing" is an adaptation of a Danish TV series, and was billed tome as "Twin Peaks meets 24". Well it certainly does seem like anupdated "Twin Peaks" so far, minus some of the bizarre twists andturns. Not that there's anything wrong with that,beautiful-girl-murdered is a time-tested premise that makes for a goodcrime drama.In the first two episodes I was relieved to find some serious, qualitytelevision. The story isn't terribly remarkable - so far we know that apretty typical teen girl has been murdered, that her parents aregenuinely crushed with grief, and that the detective who caught thecase, Sarah Linden, was due to leave the job and move to San Diego toget married had the case not come up.The story is told with impressive direction and good enough writing,with plenty of details and realism to hook in most viewers. Like anygood mystery, the introduction simply raises questions, and gets theviewer to care about what's going on. Mission accomplished.The music is a bit hokey, drifting into melodrama at times, but that'sthe only real fault I can find. This is a fine start. It seems unlikelyto dethrone "The Wire" as a pinnacle of realism but it's already betterthan any crime drama the networks have going. I'm looking forward tothe next episode.

A who done it on steroids
I decided to wait before I added my two cents worth of comments. Afterthe pilot I would have agreed with most of the comments made here.Well, I have seen 6 episodes now and I am still enjoying the series.Will I watch it to the end, probably not but I hope to see the lastepisode or at least read about it. I did find myself at the edge of myseat at every episode but it wasn't the suspense, it was the lighting.I was finding my eyes being drawn away from the character by one formof back lighting or another. I get the impression that the directorreally likes lamps. Its difficult to make out the expressions on thecharacters' faces which is a shame because I think the acting on awhole is good. After 6 episodes there are no changes to the story, justmore details. I would be interested to hear what the earlier posterswould have to say now. It is very hard to hold onto viewers for a fullseason without giving them some closure on the way, just ask theproducers of "Lost" when they ran out of ideas and started dragging outthe plots.Its one thing to create 20 suspects in a movie or a miniseries. After the third episode there was no suspense. I knew thatnothing would change till the end. There are two solid points for me inthis series and that is that there is virtually no swearing and minimalgore. (call me old fashioned) well, I just watched episode 11 and onlyabout 5 minutes was spent on the murder. It looks like we have anotherLost series. They are already stretching it out.

They should have ended the murder case with first season
I started to watch this show thinking that the final episode will giveus some conclusion. But this is not a case. They left us waiting foranswer who kill that girl for another seasons. I hoped that secondseason will be about different case, because this kind of prolonging isreally tiresome. The show is fresh and enough different from othercrime series to keep you interested but it's not Twin Peaks and Iprobably will not watch second season just to be left waiting for thirdand forth (and so on) to see who did it. There is also a risk, like wehave witness many time before, if they start loosing viewers, they willcancel the show without proper answer or the conclusion will be donelousy and to fast. I enjoyed some aspects of the show but it doesn'thave so much weight to risk watching for another 13 hours how theystretch this week plot out.
jboohan (20 May 2012)
Some terrible acting, slightly suspenseful
This is a terrible series. A lot of the story doesn't make any sense. I think that it is trying toslowly tease us but fails miserably. Michelle Forbes (Mitch)inparticular is painful to watch and not in the way I'd imagine theymeant her to be. I will be haunted by the image of Mireille Enosstanding around pouting as she spends most of the series doing. I don'tunderstand how she has been nominated for awards for this. Erik Ladenand Brendan Sexton stand out in my mind as they play the two mostbelievable characters. Joel Kinnaman, Sarah Lindens partner is quietgood also. If I was to watch it again it would be to see how hischaracter develops. But I won't!I watched nearly all of the series as my partner was enjoying thesuspense but I just don't care who killed her. I feel like I totallywasted my time watching this series and should have just stopped afterepisode 3 - Just to make sure that I gave it a proper chance.
Tweekums (20 May 2012)
A good remake of the Danish original
Having watched the excellent Danish original I nearly didn't watch thisAmerican version but the reviews seemed positive and the TV guidestated that there had been notable changes so I decided to check itout. I am glad that I did as I really enjoyed it. The beginning wasalmost identical to the original; Rosie Larson, a high school girl, isfound drowned in the boot of a submerged car by Sarah Linden, apolicewoman, who was due to leave the area the next day. She remains onthe case that pleases neither her family nor Stephen Holder, theofficer who was due to take over her job. Over the thirteen episodesLinden and Holder investigate many leads many of which come to nothingas suspects are eliminated. The investigation is made more sensitive bythe fact that Rosie was found in a car belonging to the campaign of acontestant in an upcoming election for the city mayor. We also see theeffect the murder has on Rosie's family as they attempt to deal withwhat happened.Having watched both this and the Danish version is it hard not to judgethis against the original; this is a little unfair though as this is agood story in its own right and there are enough changes to make itmore than just a remake. It is also quite a lot shorter so as well asthe changes quite a lot of the original is omitted altogether. MireilleEnos does an impressive job as Linden and Joel Kinnaman is fun to watchas Holder; other notable performances come from Brent Sexton andMichelle Forbes as Rosie's parents and Billy Campbell as mayoralcandidate Councilman Darren Richmond. The constant rain helped give theseries a fairly oppressive atmosphere and the wide number of possiblesuspects kept this viewer guessing whom the killer was right until theend. Talking of the end; the final scenes provide a nice twist and setthings up for a promised second series.
Jim Armstrong (17 May 2012)
Sets a new standard for American TV
AMC continues their quest for out of the ordinary fare and reallyscores with this program. Too real, too gritty, too illuminative ofhuman faults and foibles.I hate it.I watched Mad Men and got hooked. The portrayal of real life highlycompetitive business and the effects on the characters was riveting.I didn't like Breaking Bad at first but eventually got interested eventhough the main plot is hardly grounded in reality. Dead or Jailedafter a couple weeks would be far more likely.. but hey, there werestill facets of the plot that showed sparks of humanity and likabilityin the characters.I saw none of that in the first three episodes of the Killing, so.. Iquit.Someone said it was a mix of Twin Peaks and 24 and I cant argue muchwith that. With the grit of the Da Vinci Inquest and City Hall thrownin. In other words it LOOKS like Vancouver production values.And it's certainly true there's no ridiculous quick-solve CSI crap init either. In fact it's the opposite, this is going to be drawn out sothat the obligated viewer -the spouse or SO of a fan- will feel likehe's been subjected to the Rack.Will definitely appeal to those who admire Nietzsche and nihilistartistic expression. Which I don't.There's a market for this genre but it's not me who likes to enjoy whatI watch for some reason. Seriously... there was no one in the threeepisodes I thought would be interesting to know. Let alone would liketo be around. Certainly NOT the heroine detective. And that is thedeparture from reality. If that character was on Law and Order, she'dbe dragged off duty and assigned 5 days a week with the departmentalpsychologist.My rating of it is on artistic value alone. If I was to give an overallrating it would be 3.
Greyling5 (17 May 2012)
Finally, someone saying that this TV is boring
The one thing that keeps bothering me about this program, is how littlethey spent on wardrobe. I don't know how Stan can tolerate those crotchtightening overalls. The second thing is, how huge Rosie's bedroom is. My parents builttheir own home in the burbs of a large city, and even our rooms werenot as large as Rosie's above a garage. The third, I don't know how a single mom could make detective. Myhusband was a detective in a very small suburb of Chicago, 4 squaremiles, and he was called out all the time. Middle of the night, duringchurch on Sundays, Saturdays. How can Linden be a single mom and be adetective in a large city with no spouse/babysitter?I watch, but have a lot of "sorry, not believable."
red_identity (15 May 2012)
Atmospheric, intriguing, and suspenseful
The Killing just concluded it's first season, so now I can fully reviewit. The Killing's first season was ultimately another success for AMC. Ithink that visually it is magnificent and definitely has the type oftone and atmosphere that is needed. The actors in the show are alsopretty great. Mireille Enos proved that with a still face she canconjure a lot of different expressions and her character is secretivebut we are still able to sympathize with her, even though she clearlyhas flaws. Another strong lead that can stand up against both Hamm andCranston in Mad Men and Breaking Bad. Joel Kinnaman and Billy Campbellare also pretty strong when they have story lines to chew one. Michelle Forbes... hmm, Michelle Forbes. Don't get me wrong, she wasactually magnificent in truly great scenes, but they were very few inbetween. Forbes could have actually been the stand-out together withEnos by the end of the season because she was very believable in herrole, but the problem is how the writers handled her. Actually, here wego in The Killing's problems. The flaws are in the writing. There wereso many unsatisfying story lines that really didn't do much for theseason overall. The show never really bored me, but throughout some ofthe middle of the season it didn't do much for me either. The reason?It tried to handle too many story lines at once, and didn't achievemany of them successfully. The show reached actual greatness in episode11 "Missing", because it showed us that when it just focuses on thecharacters that do matter the show could stand it's own with AMC'sbest. Hopefully the writers take note and improve upon this nextseason. And that is why I brought up Forbes, since her character wasprobably the most annoying of the season. All in all, though, flaws and all, I still recommend this series forsure. It makes for ambitious, absorbing story-telling, even though attimes I felt myself shaking my head at some of the writing. Also, theentire ensemble cast is pretty magnificent.

Better than the reviews indicate
This series is extremely well done. It is very character driven and hasgreat production values. Some people were very disappointed that thecase was not fully solved at the end of the first season. I had noproblem with this. I was glad that there would be more exploration ofthe characters explored in the first season. If you like solidcharacters and a great show, this is one of the best on TV. If youinsist on having rigid expectations about how a detective show shouldproceed toward its goal then this is not for you. I actually waspleased with the ending of the first season. Very creative. The twomain characters are well played and both of them have some serious butrealistic problems that make sense based on their personal history. Theplot gets pretty complex drawing in political figures, corruption, andthe personal lives of many of the people in Seattle that get involvedin the case. The family whose daughter was killed is fleshed out with anumber of characters. The series shows in detail how this family copeswhich is unusual for a series. I am looking forward to seeing how thesevarious characters respond to future events. However, there are alsomany unknowns about these interesting characters that I am lookingforward to discovering.

AMC gives viewers what they deserve, a true, poetic and gritty story
Once along time ago, movies could mean something. They did not have tobe action packed or filled with porn or language. Films such as TheBicycle Thief and Citizen Kane or The Grapes of Wrath. These moviesshowed out as there own and became classics, but then that was lost tospecial effects and movies and TV shows such as 'True Blood' 'Saw' and'twilight' and many more came along and people are turned away from theclassics. Now only the TRUE bold people can leave away from what everyone wants and give them what they deserve, a true, poetic, story, thatis where AMC stands. I don't know weather it was the part where Lindonsees the pink bike in the garage and puts two and two together, or whenthe mom listens on the phone to her husbands cries at the police, orwhen one of Rosey's brother tells the other one that they will neversee Rosey again because she is dead. Or maybe when the mom hearsRosey's voice on the answering machine, or when she tries to drownherself to fell what Rosy felt. I felt the emotions too and I havenever felt dragged into a show ever before. I would like to see'Spartacus' do that (which it did not)

Top Notch - This Show Delivers!
If you're a fan of The Wire you know they take an entire season tocapture one story. The Killing does the same. Unlike The Wire, there isnot the depth of storyline, but this show proves great acting,directing, and music score make all the difference.Mireille Enos & Joel Kinnaman are the perfect combination. Usually,this type of pairing would be filled with so many clichés...not here.There are scenes acted and directed together I've never seen in a moviemuch less a TV show.The directors allow for a lot of space a movie does not allow. A TVshow has more time to invest. If you like LOST you will like this show.It moves in many directions and the pace and flow are masterful. Thereis also a lot of rain which makes for a darker, realistic setting.From top to bottom this is a strong cast. Some of the weaker storylines surround the mayoral race, but they are tolerable.
pawebster (11 May 2012)
Hamburger good but Danish better
It's pretty good, although I've only seen two episodes so far.Nevertheless I can't help wondering why they bothered. The original wasso original - and gripping - that I can't see why a remake was needed.For those who can't be bothered to read subtitles? Apart from that, thesnag is that we have all seen hundreds of American cop shows. This is agood one, admittedly, but we know the genre pretty well in general. TheDanish version on the other hand showed us a world that most of usdidn't know at all, a world which came over as slightly eerie, and thatwas a big factor in its charm. Also, Soren Malling as Jan Meyer was abetter, more subtle, sidekick than the pot-smoking McKenzie Crooklookalike that we have here.Maybe I'm being a bit unfair. For anyone who knows no different, thiswill probably seem an excellent series that's well worth watching.

The C..r..a..w..l..i..n..g...
Meh.. What else can i say about this, apart from that it's just OKAY,if nothing else is on. The Killing Crawled its way from the AMC networkto the viewers' bandwidths with some predictably lazy writing and afair number of uninteresting characters. The themes are sadness,depression, recklessly crappy police investigations, inability to letgo and over repetitive character stereotyping long after theirdevelopments. The "Yes yes yes I know the mother is SAD, enough of thatalready!" came to mind several times, but I guess if it took sixepisodes to bury the girl, then perhaps she'd stop crying after the 5thseason. So now like I said... I'm okay with it (I'll just have to copit). There are of course internet surfing and android gaming in themeantime while the show is running, in case you needed extra action.Stargate Universe sets the depressing theme for this show, while JarJar Binks gets the roles of all the oxygen wasting political charactersin the story, both stupefying and dragging things far beyond theirentertaining lengths. If the question "What are you selling here AMC?"was asked, then the obvious answer would be "The same things newspaperssell... Blank empty spaces."
Viking354 (07 May 2012)
One of the best crime series I've seen
I saw the original Danish series (Forbrydelsen) a few years ago andback then I just couldn't wait another week for a new episode  It wasone of the most suspenseful series I had seen.Now I've seen the first two episodes of the American version and I amnot disappointed. If anything the American version is even bettertechnically, especially the cinematography. The characters are greatand don't look artificial like in so many shows nowadays. There is alsosomething interesting about the artistic look and overall feel of theshow, but I can't really put a finger on what it is. One thing isobvious though and that is that in many scenes they have put a lot ofthought in how to build the shots. I can mention the interrogationscene in the second episode where they are interrogating witnesses intwo adjacent rooms. I would also like to mention the scene in thesecond episode where the body lies on the examination desk in thecoroner's office and the water drips from the body's hair.I can wholeheartedly recommend these great series to anyone looking fora top notch storyline, believable characters and nerve wreckingsuspense.
Agnelin (06 May 2012)
I'm hooked!
"The Killing" is an unconventional, multi-layered show that manages topull off a suspenseful murder investigation story and a social andpolitical commentary, without coming across as patronizing.The motor of the story is the murder of 17-year-old Rosie Larsen. Thefirst episode is full of dramatic power as it gives a glimpse of whatthe Larsens' life is like before this tragedy, and how their everydaylife and its moments of simple happiness fade off as Rosie is reportedas missing, first, and hopes to find her alive become more and moremeager. The detective in charge is Sarah Linden, who gets a mysteriousnew partner named Holden. Sarah has her own personal story as well,with an impending marriage, a trip that she has to put off once andagain due to the investigation, and a rebellious teenage son with whomcommunication isn't always great. Another side story, directly tied upwith the main line, is that of counselor Darren Richmond, who's runningfor the city council elections and is unlucky enough to have a campaigncar directly involved in the crime scene -or is it just bad luck? Themurder investigation gets more and more complex with time, and the shownever gives you a break as to the guessing. New suspects, elements andtwists are incorporated with each episode and the plot is enriched withsocial drama elements such as subtle (or not so subtle) racism; drugaddiction; how law and justice enforcers treat people differentlyaccording to their ethnicity, religion or social status; or thebackstage of elections and how the rivalry between competing candidatesgets crude beyond belief.I went into this show looking for a good crime drama, and so far I amloving it, but I'm also getting a lot more than I was hoping for. Myscore is 9/10.

Acting okay, but the Danish version is much better.
Why copy something that is perfect? This is what has occurred with thisAmerican version of the wonderful Danish drama 'The Killing'. At firstI thought this show was dubbed with American voices. It was reallystrange. I don't think it was but the sound was a bit surreal. The samesuspenseful music which, perhaps if you had not viewed the Danish onefirst would not be considered kitsch. Possibly would watch the Americanversion again but as the original Danish version is being repeated onanother channel at the same time I will probably end up watching thatto tie up some loose ends which often occur in a complex drama such asthis. American version second best by a long shot.
sevenof400 (02 May 2012)
A great three episode show...
...that has been stretched out far too long. It seems as if the writersmust have had a contest to see how many characters or story lines theycould include and the over / under is around 500. In the businessworld, there is a theory that postulates that for most workers, theavailable work will fill the available time. The writing and producingstaff of The Killing seem to have used this same theory when writingand producing the episodes for this show. Too bad someone with reviewauthority didn't streamline this series a bit. It is a series worthwatching but you will feel like the pace of this show is far too slow. I am amused by those people who are citing the dark aspects of thisshow. Scenes filled with rain shot at night do not make a series dark.If you want a dark series, consider watching Millennium (also shot inthe same general area) - a series which really delved into the darkaspects of human behavior.I don't want to leave you with the impression that The Killing is badviewing - it clearly isn't. It just meanders along far too slowly to beconsidered anymore than average television.
Review total: 20, showing from 1 to 20
