Sneak Peek: The Killing
Mar 8th
It’s almost here… check out the new, extended trailer for The Killing, the heavily hyped murder mystery coming April 3rd to AMC.
The Killing is based on an acclaimed Danish series that’s now been running for three seasons. Each season features a different case, with each episode (there are 13 in total) following a day in the life of the investigation. This first season revolves around the murder of a young girl called Rosie Larsen, with plenty of suspects and mysteries to unravel.
Personally I found the trailer kind of confusing – for me there’s twisty turny and then there’s ‘I have no idea what’s going on here’ – but I like the Twin Peaks like concept and given that this is AMC I’ll certainly be giving the show a go.
But what do you think? Will you be checking out The Killing in a few weeks time? Fire away…!

FIRST LOOK: THE KILLING

2010 turned out to be a pretty big deal for AMC, as the formerly niche network continued to remodel itself as THE home for quality storytelling.
The Walking Dead brought in the ratings – peaking at the 6 million mark – while Mad Men continued to prove itself the smartest and most sophisticated show currently on our screens. Plus the network scored a critical hit with Rubicon, which even though it’s now been canceled, certainly added to the channel’s glowing reputation.
So next up AMC brings us The Killing, a murder mystery launching in March – and here’s the first look…
The show’s based on a 2010 Danish series called The Crime and revolves around the murder of a young girl called Rosie Larsen. Each of the 13 episodes follows a different day in the investigation, and three stories connected to the homicide. Looks to me like Twin Peaks without the kookiness!
Best news of all – the show brings Michelle Forbes back to our screens – aka Maryann from the second season of True Blood. I loved Michelle in the vampire saga (and she was also great in Season 2 of 24)… plus look out for Billy Campbell in there too (who’ll always be More >
