Season 1 Review: Even on the rare occasions when those shows [like CSI or Law & Order] tell stories involving the death of a child, they're almost never as raw, palpable and grim as The Killing, an engrossing, well-made drama series that viewers should embrace despite its tough subject matter.

Season 3 Review: It’s a bit of a rarity, an intimate, sprawling, and at times touching procedural that makes the networks’ versions of the genre look like simple board games. Read full review

Season 3 Review: It relies on excellent work from Enos as the dark, damaged Linden and Kinnaman as the slightly lighter Holder to carry us along even when the plot seems to be stagnating. Read full review

Season 3 Review: A year after the Rosie Larsen case ended, this new chapter is compelling enough to earn some fan forgiveness. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The good news is that Sunday's two-hour opener answers several key questions in relatively rapid fashion and in ways that don't seem totally unreasonable. The bad news is that it also puts Sarah back at square one, and therein lies the problem. Read full review

Season 2 Review: It's not nearly as highbrow and well-constructed as it needs to be, and it's far too serious and plodding to be a zippy break from reality. Read full review

TV drama series at its very best.
I won't waste time going over how each aspect of the production of The Killing is excellent.
I will say that Mireille Enos in the role of Sarah Linden an experienced homicide detective and Joel Kinnaman in the role of Stephen Holder a rookie homicideTV drama series at its very best.

I will say that Mireille Enos in the role of Sarah Linden an experienced homicide detective and Joel Kinnaman in the role of Stephen Holder a rookie homicide detective was some of the best acting I have experienced.
I'm trying to think of some weakness within this series - but, I can't think of one.… Expand
