Anyone going to check this out? I think it looks interesting.

There was a nice write-up of it in the current EW magazine, seems it's a re-make of a swedish tv show which was very well thought of. It also has a 24 vibe as each episode is a 24 hour period within the mystery, only 13 episodes though so not sure if it has a definte ending or not.

I'll be checking it out, still bummed that AMC cancelled Rubicon.

I've seen a couple of good write-ups. I like the format of trying to figure out who the murderer is over 13 episodes.

I will pretty much give any AMC show a try. Looks good.

Based on the tv commercials they seem to be presenting this as Twin Peaks 2.0. But I'm sure that's not the case, this being AMC.

You watch to much ____ing TV!

Hopefully it's not like that POS Harper’s Island. I got midway through episode 1 before abandoning that atrocious soap-opera-in-disguise.

Harpers Island started cheesy, got good then tailspun into garbage.

Sorry we didn't get to see Happy Town finish it's run.

Agreed. Or a second season of Persons Unknown.

Not really. Most of the shows I watch are on HBO, Showtime and a few cable channels. If I think something is good, I watch it.

Jerk.

I didn't watch Happy Town, but I totally agree about Harpers Island. I hope The Killing is better than that.

Speaking of Harper's Island, Chiller got all the episodes and plans to re-air them and the promotion had me cracking up.

"The best murder-mystery show you've never seen".

Just watched the two parter. Kinda slow but alright. If they have shown us the killer, knee jerk pick it is the campaign kid.

*It was all a bad dream*

I thought it was good, acting was good, pacing while a bit slow, was actually good for this type of show. Wife and I spent most of the two hours trying to guess who the killer was, I think if it's based closely on the Danish version, there will be a lot of twists.

Anyone else think of Seven, when the new detective opened up the office door to introduce himself to the lady detective? I sure did.

Living now in the Seattle area, its nice to see a show using the surrounding area for filming as opposed to Vancouver.

I'm halfway thru the first episode, it's very good. Much better than any other cookie cutter homicide show on TV._

It was good. The atmosphere and setting reminded me of the ps3 game Heavy Rain.

My knee jerk pick is the campaign woman. But to be honest when I watch whodunnit's I label EVERYONE as the killer. Every new face that shows up I'm like "They did it!"



Ok.. here's my impression of AMC's The Killing.

I hate to break it to you, but the show IS filmed in Vancouver.
