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.

Much better than most TV series
This is the Americanized version of a Danish series. I use the wordAmericanized as that aspect probably goes some way to explaining someof the negative reviews on here that encourage people to watch theOriginal Danish version. I watched one episode of the Danish versionbut decided I didn't want to have to READ every (subtitled) episode andso moved on to the Americanized version.And I'm glad I did.I enjoyed the slow pace at which the story unfolds and the fact that Icouldn't tell who the 'guilty' person was by how many minutes were leftin an episode.The characters feel to be believable and are well portrayed.It's best not to know too much about the story (or stories) beforewatching as it is the flow of it's telling that determines how much youwill enjoy this series. You'll know after two episodes if you want tocarry on.Watch, enjoy, and let others know of it.

Suspenseful , keeps you guessing, a departure from the law and order formula
If you started watching this show thinking it was going to be anotherregurgitated "law and order/CSI" formulaic show, you will bedisappointed. If you wanted a super hot, charismatic, sassy/funny, hard edged femaleheroine that seems to have all the answers and keeps her perfect lifein balance while solving murders, you will be disappointed.If you are looking for a weirdo techy with tons of piercing and rainbowcolored hair that can be counted on to do impossible feats withcomputers, you will be disappointed. There are a hundred of thoseshows, I could give myself arthritis listing them all. I for one am sick of those shows, they all seem to be the same: Theshow opens on some people having a good time, that happen to stumbleupon a dead body, or they themselves get murdered. The detectives find1 little piece of evidence that leads to the most obvious suspect. Letscall them "Miss Direct", who always seems to have a rock solid alibithat clears them of any wrong doing or involvement. Throw in a couplemore pieces of evidence, or perhaps Miss Direct pointed us to the nextsuspect, and the next suspect and so on. Then the 1 amazing piece ofevidence brings us back to Miss Direct and they were our murderer allalong. The Killing is not like the shows I explained above. It is a morerealistic look into the lives of a murder victims family, thedetectives solving the crime, and the people trying to cover up theirwrong doings.Everything is not always wrapped up into a nice little package, justlike in real life. I applaud the writers efforts to keep me guessing.Usually with a crime drama, I have it solved in the first 10 minutesbecause they are see-through and their writing is formulaic as Imentioned above. So if you are looking for a departure from "Law and Order" and you wanta more complex crime drama, The Killing is for you.

AMC can do no wrong
I had to watch this twice, the two hour premiere that is. I think whatstruck me most was the calm and slow storytelling. When TV is drowningin unrealistic CSI's et al (where investigators cook up fingerprints totechno music in dimly lit rooms), every time we pass a CSI on channelsurfing my husband always says 'don't they ever turn on the freakinlights in that office?' and we both laugh.This is police work as it really is, plodding, unexciting, procedural,a lot of driving, mixed with a bit of clever intuition, slammin good.Every character is a suspect, the story can go anywhere, so promising.If anyone was worried about the state of the serialized TV drama goingtoo far down the f-word/porn route, all arguments that onlysubscription HBO or Showtime dramas were good bc they used nudity orcursing bc 'that's how real life is'...this is yet another AMC showthat shuts them all up. Don't get me wrong, I love my Trueblood andhuge fan of Sopranos et al, but this show isn't a 'guilty pleasure',its just a pleasure.

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.

A terrible ending spoils a decent attempt of a series
Just the worst, least intelligent, ending that the producers could haveconceived. It serves no-one except their desire for renewal. It defieslogic and any responsibility to elucidate dangling plot threads.Viewers with a critical sense should not bother wasting the 12.8 hoursto get to the point where they are tossed off a cliff.The producers should be hanging their heads in shame, but I doubt thatthey do. The real shame is that the ending negates a decent, well acted andgenerally well scripted and directed effort. There were tip-offs. Inthe effort to leave cliff hangers at the end of episodes the producersonce or twice compromised the integrity of their story without battingan eyelash. That should have been a clue that things could go seriouslyawry in the last episode but there's enough value in the whole to keepthe faith that they'd pull it all together. Unfortunately they fellwoefully short.

Good Series turned awful....
In one fell swoop, all the good things that were said about THE KILLINGis completely blasted apart by the worst ending in Series History.They destroyed any credibility that series had, relegating it to amiserable experience that satisfies no one.AMC should take a serious hit with this series.. After 13 hard wonepisodes, you stuck with it because you wanted to know who killed RosieLarsen..Every week they had a dumb red herring, and the ultimate insultoccurs with the Finale that still tells you nothing, and throws Holderunder the bus. Next year? Won't be watching...A dishonest series thatshowed great potential.

...terrific! shame on all the whiners...
this is a great show. i had next to no interest in yet another showthat centers primarily around a single murder. it seemed tedious, butAMC hasn't disappointed me yet (breaking bad, the walking dead, madmen), so i gave it a shot. the pilot pleasantly surprise me, so I stuckaround. now i'm hooked and eagerly await the second season. veryinvolving, i loved the story, the mood, and especially theperformances. mirelle enos and joel kinnamen, as the investigatingdetectives, provide awesome chemistry, despite their characters beingso radically different. while not perfect, the show's pretty awesome.if there's anything that irritates me about this thing (and it's noteven the show's fault), it's the moron naysayers who whine about theexcessive rain, which provides an excellent mood. and while there'sbeen backlash in regards to story, it sucks that people are suchclose-minded. this is good stuff and i hope people give this the properlove, cuz i'm thinking this is gonna be worth the climax. definitelyworth the shot.

A hidden gem
I am writing this after the first season finale, and I came to thiswithout expecting much and what a shocking pleasant surprise it was andabsolute gem of a thriller.I rarely give a rating of 10, there would always be some part thatwould be missing and something goes wrong in any department, nothingever went wrong with this.The whole first season is one murder case, so you can expect some slowpace, and slow pace doesn't always mean a drag, and "The Killing" isthe best example for that, the pace is deliberately set to slow, to letall emotions, settings to sink in, the show gives you very subtle cluesand you would swear that know who killed "Rosie Larsen" and think it isyour idea, which is most often first proved right then wrong :) Theacting, direction, screenplay, music a absolute top notch, a lessenthat other crime thrillers (CSI, Criminal Minds, Suspect Behavior et.al.) should take a note of this epic of a thriller.If you haven't watch it yet you are missing an epic.

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.

Should be called The Boredom
I came into this really wanting to like it but I gave up after episode5. It's just too darn boring. Aside from the story moving along slowerthen a snail's pace, I can't figure out who decided to cast the leadwith someone who should have been cast as Ugly Secretary #6. Not onlyis she literally hard to look at, but she and her character doabsolutely nothing for me. Hence, I don't really care about anyone elsein the story except for the wasted stoner partner she has who isinteresting to watch and the only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of1. Everyone else in the story might as well be wallpaper. I gave upafter trying to watch episode 5 but fell asleep 3 times in doing so.

Not as good as the original Danish version
I watched the Danish version and thought that this version may bebetter because there would be no subtitles, but alas it was a poorimitation. Somehow this version lost a lot of the tension which was akey feature in the original Danish version. Also in general the actingwasn't as good, however the detective Sarah was the best actor in theseries. It was not as nail biting or addictive as the Danish versionand so I didn't continue to watch the whole series. Anyone who hasn'twatched the original should make an effort to see it. It is great incomparison. It's a pity but this is a very disappointing copy of a goodstory!!!!

Just not as good as it could have been
The Killing is a re-imagining of the excellent Danish originalForbrydelsen. For the first couple of episodes they are almost word forword. Unfortunately it is when the story steps out from the core plot,the death of Rosie Larsen, that it comes unstuck. In the main it doeshold that same slow gripping pace and the story taking unexpected turnsbut its choice of back-story is weak. The excessive focus on SarahLinden and her son, her home life and the peculiar disconnectedrelationship with her mostly unseen fiancé are immensely distracting.Many of the other characters,especially the marginally psychotic BelkoRoyce, are utterly dysfunctional. While it is a grim tale there islittle about the characters that makes you warm to them. It is not helped by the producers choosing to rerun the torrentialdownpour of Se7en,which just adds to the misery. The original in tone is not much different but it does have far greatercharacter development as well as a larger, more diverse cast aspotential suspects.Where The Killing falls down most is its choice of story lines. As a 13parter rather than the original 20 it was going to make changes. Thepity is these choices left it with some fairly ludicrous plot lines,especially towards the end of the season. It also removed scope to givesome more development to the main characters, especially Linden andMitch. All in all not a bad effort. It starts well, has enough twists to keepmost viewers interested but its choice of characters and their storieswill leave you disappointed. Do check out the far superior original.

Watch the original
May contain spoilers .... As has been mentioned, 'The Killing' is aCanadian adaptation (albeit set in Seattle) of the Danish TV series'Forbrydelsen'. Having watched all 20 episodes of 'Forbrydelsen', Ifeel compelled to draw comparisons between it and the Canadian version.Seen for the first time, 'The Killing' comes across as 'brilliant' and'the best thing on TV' etc. but it pales by comparison to itsScandinavian ancestor. One of the reasons is that the Danish actorswere unknown to me and that added a greater sense of realism to thecharacters. The Canadian actors that I had seen before came across as... just actors. It's not their fault but it detracted from theirperformances (from my perspective). I would recommend that Americanviewers get hold of the original series as opposed to watching a badimitation. I found it hard to understand the writers whose adaptedcharacter, a 'detective', shared drugs with schoolgirls. If this isreality, I'm not surprised that the female detective is asked to stayon the case. Also, I am at a disadvantage in that I already know whothe killer is (if the adaptation remains true to form). In fact Ipicked him quite early on in the original series. It does seem to methat 'The Killing' relies heavily on mood music to set the tone and thecharacters are, so far, undeveloped - as opposed to the original where(for example)the father of the dead girl was painful to watch. Bottlingup all his emotions and trying to remain strong. Will we be treated toother adaptations of foreign series because American writers have lostall their imagination and/or creativity? How about other Scandinavianseries like 'Irene Huss' or 'Van Veeteren' - or the brilliant Frenchcrime series 'Engrenages' (Spiral) now showing on BBC in the UK? Moregrist for the mill?

Awful sub standard copy
Having been engrossed by the Danish version recently in the UK Isomehow knew that an Americanised (Canadianised?) version was reallynot going to be as good. I could not even guess that it would be as badas this. Thankfully in the UK we got 2 episodes back to back for 10weeks. I have recoded the first 3 of this version and have just startedto watch the first episode. The scene for scene copies, the tap(faucet?) scene, the watch, etc were so cringe makingly bad, the actingwas embarrassingly appalling, it was just dire. I have got as far asthe first ad break and I really do not think I am going to go anyfurther with this. How it scores 8.0 on IMDb is completely beyond me.If you have not yet started to watch this series avoid it at all costs,watch the Danish original (do subtitles not go down well in the US orwherever the high scorers are from?).

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.

Im 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.

Why?
The Danish original was stylish, haunting, gripping, realistic,superbly acted, beautifully shot, and had soul. This scene for scenecopy has none of those things, so why bother making it?Within about 20 seconds of the opening it became clear that nobodyinvolved in this understands how to create tension and draw theaudience in.Mireille Enos in the lead role is so different to Sofie Gråbøl, withlittle of the talent or charisma of the Danish star. Not her fault ofcourse, but nobody who has seen the original will be happy with thisperformance.In truth, each of the main players here is inferior to their Danishcounterpart. It smacks of shoddiness and cost-cutting. I can't possiblyrecommend this - watch the original instead.

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.

The Killing- Good Start. Slow Middle.Poor Finish.No Future.
I was engrossed for a full 12 episodes plus 45 minutes of the finaleagerly anticipated installment, only for the climax to render all myprevious assumptions about the quality of the production, completelyobsolete. I found the conclusion to be amateurish in the extreme, andruthlessly exploitative and irresponsible to any dedicated follower ofthe genre. I felt thoroughly abused by the absurdity of the illconceived plot twist at the end. And I felt the finale went againstwhat is acceptable in terms what is plausible and acceptable, withinthe realm of modern televisual fiction. The only consolation is that Iwon't waste a minute on any future series.
