The Killing Premiere's on AMC on April 03, 2011
AMC has begun production on the network's next original series, The Killing. From writer, executive producer and series showrunner Veena Sud (Cold Case), 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. Season one will consist of thirteen one-hour episodes and will debut with a 2 hour premiere on Sun., Apr. 3 at 9PM | 8C.
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.
The Killing stars Mireille Enos (Big Love) as Sarah Linden, the lead homicide detective that investigates the death of Rosie Larsen; Billy Campbell (Once and Again) as Darren Richmond, Seattle's City Council President and now running for Mayor; Joel Kinnaman (Snabba Cash) as Stephen Holder, an ex-narc cop who joins the homicide division in the investigation to find Rosie's killer; Michelle Forbes (True Blood) as Rosie's mother, Mitch Larsen; and Brent Sexton (W., In the Valley of Elah) as Rosie's father, Stan Larsen. The pilot is directed by Patty Jenkins (Monster).
Filmed in Vancouver, The Killing is produced by Fox Television Studios and executive produced by Mikkel Bondesen (Burn Notice) for Fuse Entertainment. Fuse's Kristen Campo co-produces. AMC’s Joel Stillerman, senior vice president of original programming, production and digital content, Susie Fitzgerald, senior vice president of scripted development and current programming and Jason Fisher, senior vice president of production oversee production of the series for the network.

Nice start but what a case for Sarah on her last day of work Author: codebreaker Time: 4-3-2011 23:24 Subject: 1x02 The Cage
Councilman Richmond wanting to leak the story for his political career looks suspicious but Mitch and Stan telling their sons about Rosie was sad and the way the cop found out about the cage was unorthodox

Yeah that was interesting case but the question will she stay on because 6pm she supposing moving and look on her face when found Rosie body suggest stay on. I have to admit this hard show get into first 20 minutes was rather boring but now it's getting interesting. Author: bala Time: 4-4-2011 03:26 Subject: Reply 3#3 codebreaker's post
Yes that hard telling the kids their sister were dead but why didn't they tell the babysitter/nanny she was dead?. The way cop found the cage was very unusual. When husband opened the door i was worried she might of committed suicideAuthor: kellemanske Time: 4-5-2011 09:12
I don't know what to think about this show. It's a very strange way of telling the story with the flashback at the beginning (I suppose it was a flash of the reason Linden is leaving) and the new cop is really strange and none of them look normal. Then the family of the death kid, the parents in the beginning was a strange image because they didn't know about their daughter yet, but we did. And I think they didn't tell the babysit because the police said to keep it in the family, but I agree that it is strange cause it looks like she's practicly family.
The reaction of the kid was really believeble and I felt sorry for him. And you're right about the mom, I wondered about her killing herself.
I know that Linden is going to stay, I mean, she is the lead in the show and she showed up at the Cage at the end of the episode.
The two students weren't very smart believing that a cop off the clock would take them to party. (although he doesn't really look like a cop)
And btw the politician didn't want to use the family to advance his carrier, that was his assistent. But I understand that he tries to save it. The fact that he didn't leak the story says enough. But I wonder what happened to his wife. Author: bala Time: 4-5-2011 09:19 Subject: Reply 6#6 kellemanske's post

Watched the first 3 episodes - so far not a bad show. Will be interesting to see how it all ends.
The scene with the parents telling the sons about the sister's death was a nice scene, but the older son figured something was up from the time both parents came to pick them up from school.
The mom's guilty over something - like her sister said "why didn't you call her....the whole weekend (its not verbatim) Author: bala Time: 4-18-2011 01:20 Subject: A Soundless Echo
Well planning Rosie's funeral was difficult but seeing photo at station was awful. Those letter found in the globe was interesting revelation. I really hope the father doesn't do something stupid.look like another new suspect. Author: codebreaker Time: 4-18-2011 01:58 Subject: 1x04 A Soundless Echo
That was a stupid mistake allowing the family to see the crime scene photos and I'm glad what Sterling said about the 108 bus lead to another clue Author: bala Time: 4-25-2011 06:22 Subject: Super 8

I'm a little surprised that Sarah was not more worried about Jack skipping school until she got into his phone especially in the light of Rosie's murder but the kids in the tunnel threatening to call the cops was amusing and i liked the way she got the ATM videos from the Indian casino Author: bala Time: 6-12-2011 01:03 Subject: Reply 28#28 codebreaker's post

I'm not surprised that after Rosie's backpack turned up at the Larsen house they were worried the killer was still out there and you cant blame Linden for not trusting Holder but who is going to be the main suspect this season so far i have two suspects Author: codebreaker Time: 4-15-2012 07:33 Subject: 2x03 Numb
Sarah having to tracks down Rosie's backpack after it was taken out of evidence was strange especially when he never explained why he took it but Sarah knows Holder swapped it which was probably the reason he took it and the man with the tattoo driving Larsen's van was interesting Author: codebreaker Time: 5-3-2012 11:54 Subject: 2x04 Ogi Jun

I really thought they had called off the hunt for Holder but what Linden said about sitting on his hand while one of his officers needed help must of worried him and finding him before the solicitor got involved was lucky and Jack's getting good at running away from the authorities Author: codebreaker Time: 5-29-2012 22:54 Subject: 2x09 Sayornara Hiawatha
Linden should of distracted the chief while Rosie's key for the casino was on the desk when she was suspended and breaking into the storage locker to get the key is one thing but getting into the casino is going to be a lot harder but the distraction was amusing Author: codebreaker Time: 5-30-2012 00:18 Subject: 2x10 72 Hours

While they were covering up Skinner's disappearance I wished they had used some flashbacks as I only have my last comments to remember Sarah killing him and the new case of the brutal murder of the family was obviously another reminder but Sarah's run in with Margaret was amusing, the surviving son may have been left $50 million but having to wait 17 years should go in his favour as a suspect Author: codebreaker Time: 8-2-2014 02:59 Subject: 4x02 Unraveling

I can't believe Sarah was going to run Bethany off her bike to stop her looking for her dead father but sending her a text from her fathers phone was surprising and the cadet reporting seeing Kat at the barracks was understandable after the bathroom fight but her saying the dead family got what they deserved did make her first look guilty at first Author: codebreaker Time: 8-2-2014 04:21 Subject: 4x04 Dream Baby Dream

With Caroline being pregnant with a girl I can see Holder being the one to crack and Kyle escaping and going to Sarah was great as she then had a good reason to go after Margaret but her killing the cadets that tried to kill Kyle was surprising as the police were in the building and Margaret being Kyle's real mother was an interesting twist, the police not wanting the publicity of why Sarah killed Skinner was great and the jump forward was a nice way to wrap the show up Author: codebreaker Time: 8-2-2014 05:52
Season 1 & 2 - I could not wait for the whole debacle of Rosie Larsen to be over. The writers made the worst mistake & decision when they stretched that crap out for 2 seasons. Wonder why the show got cancelled on two occasions?
Season 3 - was slightly better enjoyed the serial killer angle. But, they ruined it when Linden shot the LT instead of arresting him.
Season 4 - insanely ridiculous storyline and plot. Why was it even made?
But, the thing that will always ruin this series and create a bad taste in my mouth is Holder's voice, mannerisms, crude language and depictions. Completely ruined the entire series for me.
The good stuff (watched Carnivale the other day also) always get cancelled and the crap survive.
