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.

Recaps
1x6: What You Have Left recap: Rosie is being prepared for her final resting place. Her nails were
destroyed during the attack, so the mortician gives her fake ones and
then neatly folds her hands before closing her coffin... read more.

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.

1x4: A Soundless Echo recap: Kris Echols is suffering withdrawal in an interrogation room while Holder and Linden watch. She joins him, and Kris spits that they can't keep him there, he knows his rights. He didn't do anything to Rosie. Holder wheels in a TV and they show him the footage from the party. Somebody asks where Rosie sees herself in ten years, and she thoughtfully answers the question... read more.

1x3: El Diablo recap: The press rushes Darren Richmond for information about the car that Rosie was found in, since it was one of his campaign vehicles. One of them asks if it reminds him of his wife, which stops him in his tracks. This has nothing to do with that, he said. Someone's child has been murdered. It's not political. His heart goes out to the Larsen family for their terrible loss... read more.

1x2: The Cage recap: Mitch falls sobbing into Stan's arms. They go in to identify Rosie. Linden lifts the sheet, and Mitch's heart breaks. Stan nods. After they are done, Sarah questions Stan and Holder questions Mitch. Stan recounts the last time he saw Rosie, and Mitch can barely talk, she's crying so hard. She noticed that Rosie's nails were all torn up. Why? Sarah asks about Jasper, but Stan is beating himself up. He should have gotten off the phone and said goodbye. He didn't get to say goodbye... read more.
