The Killing

The Killing


The Killing is based on the wildly successful Danish television series Forbrydelsen and tells the story of the murder of a young girl in Seattle and the subsequent police investigation.
The Killing ties together three distinct stories around a single murder including the detectives assigned to the case, the victim's grieving family, and the suspects. Set in Seattle, the story also explores local politics as it follows politicians connected to the case. As the series unfolds, it becomes clear that there are no accidents; everyone has a secret, and while the characters think they've moved on, their past isn't done with them. (Source: AMC)

Many thanks to AMC for airing this wonderful series. The Killing is TV at its best. The writing, directing and acting were extraordinary. Everyone shone. In the first episode, the performances by Rosie's parents as they learn of her murder were gut wrenching -- very real, very honest. The series never faltered. It remained compelling down to the last minute of the last episode. As a fan of noir Scandinavian mysteries, I appreciated the dark atmosphere and the sparse words of of the two detectives, all no doubtedly due to its Danish origin. This is a "must see" series.

3x4: Head Shots recap: Our episode begins with Kallie Leeds on DVD. Her kidnapper asks her probing questions while she tries to remain strong and hold back tears. When she can take no more, she hides her face to not give him the satisfaction of seeing her broken. Stephen Holder sits with Kallie’s friend Bullet and asks the girl if she knows who the man is that has taken Kallie. We learn that the DVD was found at Goldie’s apartment. Sarah Linden asks if Bullet knows where it was filmed at and Bullet says Mama Dips, the disgusting hotel that Holder and Carl already investigated. Bullet notices that Kallie is wearing her ring – the one she gave Kallie right before Kallie was taken. Holder and Linden share a knowing look, as they realize the man who took Kallie could be their serial killer. The detectives rush out the door, but Holder stops to tell Bullet to stay there... read more.

3x3: Seventeen recap: Our episode begins at the marsh full of decayed female bodies in red bags. Sarah Linden stares at the scene before her, holding the picture that was drawn by serial killer Ray Seward’s son. Police cars arrive on the scene. Stephen Holder approaches Sarah, irritated that she was investigating his case without telling him about it. He asks how she found the place and she shows James Skinner, her former partner who has advanced to their location, the picture. Police begin examining the water and looking for more bodies... read more.

3x2: That You Fear the Most recap: The episode begins on a rainy Seattle city street. A car slowly drives past seedy people doing seedy things. It slows to a stop and a girl comes over. Stephen Holder and his partner, Carl, arrive at a crime scene. A Jane Doe has been found – the girl we just saw. Holder works his way through the crime scene, slowly working his way through the building. We see a bloody hand and arm as Holder arrives at the corpse. Carl shows up learns that the girl had been savagely murdered. Her body had some major serrations... read more.

1x6: What You Have Left recap: Rosie is being prepared for her final resting place. Her nails were

1x5: Super 8 recap: Bennet Ahmed arrives at school, not noticing he's being observed by Linden and Holder. They follow him into his classroom and question him about Rosie. He lies about the Seattle All-Stars, that Rosie was just there once or twice; he doesn't remember. Holder asks what nationality Ahmed is. Somali - and how is that relevant? Linden asks if he drives the campaign cars much, since the All-Stars are Richmond's baby. He doesn't answer the question, instead asking if they think he killed Rosie. Linden tells him to help them rule him out. He says alums did have access but no. He never used a campaign car... read more.
