I just finished season 1. I wasn't going to leave a review but after reading some of the comments here I had to. I must have WATCHED ANOTHER SHOW or something. Lets start with the good. The acting was very good and the choice of actors for each part. The plot had you wanting for more without being dull. I really enjoyed the political aspect of the show.I am not so much into cop series so the politics was a bright break. The atmosphere throughout the show is brilliant. Especially when dealing with the Brick-Larsen family, death and the teacher, and especially in the first episodes. I think I haven't seen a series capture death/mourning more convincingly. Bravo for that. I didn't mind the pace which was sometimes slowish. Great cliffhanger too for the 2nd season which by the way I almost didn't watch as I rarely watch the ending titles. Now the disappointing part.. The Ending. There was none. Why was Nana drugged, raped, violated and killed?? For no reason really. And that would have been fine if the show was 10 episodes not 20. You have a quick, we-run-out-of-ideas ending, basically dragging the show through pointless irrelevant hoops just to make it longer. Now if that's how season 2 and 3 are going to roll I would rather watch something else.

very good script ,mystic atmosphere, very detailed physiological approach and not easily predictable! it is now released in Greece and we are watching the 8 th episode. The actress that has the leading role is so simple and realistic that it is a pleasant surprise for comparison with the overwhelming acting for example in a similar American production. actually all the actors are playing great. Watching something so different from the usual productions on TV is a miracle! The Europe has a different style for filming and it is obvious from the first episode .So if you want to try something totally different watch this.You will not be disappointed. Well done Denmark!

'Killing 1' set the tone and broke the mould. 'Killing 2' was a slide backwards with a ridiculous denouement about Danish killings of civilians in Afghanistan. 'Killing 3' repeats a lot of the tropes, themes and plot lines of 1 and 2, but with a much more forceful, thrillerish American style dashing about and shouting a lot. And, of course, welcome to the avenging serial killer, who is so brilliant, he can hang Deputy Prosecutors, outwit and stay ahead of the police on every front. Just so boring and predictable, I'm afraid. yes, a disappointment with too much repetition and plot holes. The story is about a young girl of divorced super rich parents kidnapped as the serial killer attempts to find out who killed and then covered up the death of his estranged daughter (cue parallels with Lund's son!). Yes, Ms Grabel is excellent as the lead and the support from characters Brix and Lund's old flame (yes, she gets some sex!) Borch are well acted and drawn, but the rain and darkness pall after a while. And the ending where characters are summed up is exactly the same as 'Killing 2' except for Lund herself fleeing from a vigilante shooting. I am afraid I spotted the result of the kidnapping far out, and the villain from Episode 3 or 4 - the same plot line as a 'Wallander' episode. No, the script was just too poor and thin!

Watching this series was often exhilarating and involving, but around episode 6 I began to tire of so many gratuitous red herrings, which created a too-predictable pace. "Ah, now we suspect HIM...but there's too much time left...so it can't be him!" It think the story would have been stronger if it had been shorter, or else less predictable.And the ending...what can I say? Deeply, deeply disappointing in just about every way, all the more so because I just didn't buy all the cynicism, especially of the tycoon father, who could hardly just "forget" the man who just put him through total hell. Now he would just shut up and forget about it? Hmmmm, I don't think so. Nor did I really accept the behavior of the Prime Minister, or of our heroine. Too bad!In every way, inferior to The Bridge, which was of equal length but totally brilliant, rigorously consistent, and painfully logical right up to the final moment.
