The Killing: DVD Review
The Killing
Rating: M
Released by Madman Entertainment
Four years after being first released in native Denmark, and to
universal critical acclaim, the 20 part first series of The Killing is released
here.
And what a scorching series it is.
Over 20 episodes, a homicide unit follows the killing
of 19-year-old woman, Nanna Birk Larsen - by the intrepid Detective Inspector
Sarah Lund, who as the series begins is about to leave for Sweden. But as she
looks further into the case, the death has serious implications for an ongoing
mayoral campaign.
The pilot of The Killing pretty
much lays its atmospheric cards out on the table - with iconic backgrounds and
Nordic landscapes, it does feel a little like The Millennium Trilogy in tone;
but it's its own beast.
It's captivating, engrossing, intelligent
and enthralling television at its best with a central protagonist who's prone to
wearing chunky jumpers and because of that, ends up in the pantheon of quirky
yet brilliant detectives.
Simply put, The Killing
needs your time - set aside 20 hours for some of the best TV you'll see - and
then beg Madman to release the second series...
