The Killing 1x01+02 (HDTV-FQM)

the killing is an american crime drama television series based on the danish television series with the
same english title, but known as forbrydelsen (the crime) in danish. the american version is developed
by veena sud and produced by fox television studios and fuse entertainment. the series' first season,
consisting of 13 hour-long episodes, premiered on the cable channel amc on april 3, 2011 with a two-hour
premiere.

set in seattle, washington, the series follows the police investigation, the grieving family and the suspects,
after the homicide of a young girl, rosie larsen. each of the 13 episodes will chronicle one day of the
investigation. in comparison to the original danish series, executive producer veena sud explained, "we're
creating our own world. we are using the danish series as a blueprint, but we are kind of diverging and
creating our own world, our world of suspects and, potentially, ultimately who killed rosie larsen." sud
describes the series as "slow-burn storytelling in a sense that every moment that we don't have to prettify
or gloss over or make something necessarily easy to digest, that we're able to go to all sorts of places that
are honest, and dark, and beautiful and tragic, in a way that is how a story should be told."

i'll watch the killing but it will be very hard to beat the original which was fantastic thrilling the only
thing that let it down was the killeer.... highly unlikely... but ill watching this version and see.

they may as well replay the show vanished...i tell you, i would much rather look at gale harold for an
hour again than whoever the jokers are n this thing.

the original danish version have been very well received in both denmark, germany and the uk as far
as i know, and atm. they're already making a 3rd season. it's quite good, especially the first
season and very typical type of thriller from denmark.

never saw the danish version. but from the 2 episodes of the us version i had just seen so far, i was
impressed. i will definitely keep watching.

the danish original is the most outstanding television i have seen in a long time, especially the main
performance of sofie grabol. will give this a go to see how i compares while waiting for the next season of
the danish show!

well i never seen the original, but this, if it's a us remake or anything is awesome, haven't seen
anything like this in a long while. first two episodes at least are masterpiece. it got both my
respect and
amazement. is there any link to the original series?

this is news. never realised there was a us remake.
if it's anything like the original it should be amazing.

danish original can be found on thepiratebay.org
search for 'the killing'. you'll get the uk bbc version with english subtitles.

i just plowed through 1-3 of this and its amazing. ive never seen any of the original so i dont know
if its better, worse, or a complete rip-off but this is great tv regardless.
