The Killing
"The Killing" took over my life last week. I spotted it in the corner of the screen on the iplayer website. I was about to dismiss it as some kind of awful, British CSI clone but then I saw it was a Danish import. I don't know why this gave me confidence, why I thought that a tiny country of 5.6m people could create a better 20 part crime series than we in the UK could. It turns out I was right, "The Killing" is amazing
It has managed to remain a thriller over the course of the 14 episodes i've watched so far to and i'm pained to know there are 4 days still before i can watch another episode.
So, the Killing: In the countryside some bloody clothes are found alongside a video rental card. The police suspect the owner of the card took a prostitute out there and did something dastardly. Before long we find the card owners daughter dead in the back of a car belonging to a candidate for Mayor of Copenhagen.
Similar to The Wire, this series focuses on city politics, the school system, cynical police and, like The Wire, it contains that magical narcotic element that keeps you watching until you really need to go to bed. It's fantastically made, shot to perfectly capture dreary November in Copenhagen (think lots of grey in a place where the sun sets by 3.30), the performances are all believable and real, there's no CSI bullshit, no sentimentality, just cold hard Danishness. My only gripe is the slight heavy-handedness regarding the score, perhaps lower in the mix and less would be better but it's no real gripe.
It's on iPlayer. It's free. If you haven't seen it yet there are 14 hours to catch up on. Maybe just try the first episode to see if you like it?
