SYNOPSIS/PLOT TV Series (2011). 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.
PRO REVIEWS ----------------------------------------
this Americanized version of a Danish hit, Forbrydelsen, is a true rarity: an adaptation that doesn't leave you wishing you were watching the original (....) what sets The Killing apart are its steady sense of dread, its dense atmospherics (...) Rating: **** (out of four)" (Robert Bianco: USA Today)
----------------------------------------
"A bleak, slow-moving, humorless show that is still so good that you will be angry every time an episode ends (...) Rating: **** (out of four)" (Linda Stasi: New York Post)
----------------------------------------
"In many ways 'The Killing' is the opposite of American television’s most popular crime series (...) horror lies mainly in the consequences of a crime, not its grisly execution, and that can’t be laughed off in time for the commercial break" (Alessandra Stanley: The New York Times)
----------------------------------------
"Some viewers may find 'The Killing' a little too cold and deliberate, but give it time. Its intensity builds steadily, giving the series unexpected power" (Ken Tucker: New York Magazine)
