United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	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 (...)

United States	Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly	"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"	POS
