The killing is an excellent TV show

Remake of a Danish series and set in Seattle, this series is very watchable. Noirish with a bit of stark nordic gloom, this is the portrait over 2 seasons of a single crime and its impact on a family, on detectives and on the politics of a city. A few red herrings too many, but this is the price to pay for making episodes which only cover 24 hours worth of action. Excellent acting, and addictive.

I need to know who did it!!

I have seen the danish original, the uk version and the US version. All three exceptional, but oh wonder I prefer the US version since the cast is so very good. Specially the main character the homicide detective Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) is fantastic. She plays the role with such a brittle, unimposing charm plus the overall look of the show is very good and transports the atmosphere perfectly.

The Danish version is fabulous and worth buying on DVD from the UK

Watched two seasons of the Danish series, had high expectations, but it failed to deliver.
Great acting, cinematography, etc but mediocre script/story/writing.
They try to create anticipation by their 24esque cliffhangers, but it's formulaic and way too predictable .
I think I'll pass on the third season, and go for 'Varg Veum', The Bridge', 'Those Who Kill', 'Wallander' or 'Den Fördömde'.

Great show, awesome actors. Apparently is based on a Danish series.

This show has some of the best cinematography, lighting and acting I have seen in a long time. Its definitely up there with Six Feet Under, The Wire and The West Wing.

Good story, great actors and I love the fact that there's a cliffhanger at the end of each episode.

Yeah I'll recommend it, but it's a mixed bag. Excellent acting, pacing, and cinematography. However, the deliberate pace gives you time to reflect on inconsistencies in the writing that become apparent in the last few episodes. The first season was marred by a poor ending. Show runner Veena Sud painted herself into a corner by undermining the relationship between the two leads.

Another great series by AMC. A rich, suspenseful murder mystery set in Seattle. Great acting and solid writing for a stories that slowly unfold around the murder of a young girl. One of those shows where you can't wait for the next episode.
