The Danes are the best when it comes to tv drama. And this series had everything, from the storyline, direction and actors to the measured pace within each episode which kept you waiting for the next episode. In a word gripping tv.
A great story with well drawn characters, part detective story, part political thriller. Why can't the British and the Americans make TV like this-
I found the movie very Dark (not bright enough) almost all of it was apparently filmed in the dark with only minimal lighting.. I really had to concentrate on reading the sub-titles – it was more like reading a book, because at times it was so dark – literally couldn't see anything on the screen at all.. but the story was addictive – certainly kept you coming back for more..
Detective Inspector Sarah Lund (Sofie Grabol) returns in the long-awaited third and final series of The Killing (Forbrydelsen) TV Show Trilogy.
The financial crisis is raging and the number of bankruptcies and repossessions is on the rise, but Detective Inspector Sarah Lund has a newfound sense of peace in the form of a new job, a new home and the recognition of achieving 25 years of service in the Police Force.
What appears to be a random murder at a scrapyard in the Copenhagen docks begins to interfere with Lund's plans for a quieter life and draws attention towards the shipping and oil giant Zeeland, run by billionaire Robert Zeuthen, who is the third generation head of the family to run this business empire. He is already troubled by his recent divorce and internal struggles within the company. Meanwhile Sarah Lund is disturbed by an old flame, Mathias Borch, from the National Intelligence Service (PET) who fears that the killing in the docks is the beginning of an assassination attempt upon the Prime Minister. Prime Minister Kamper is himself in the middle of a turbulent election due to the pressures of the financial crisis and is looking for backing from the commercial sector, including Zeeland.
Rumours arise that Zeeland is threatening to move the company and its production aboard–a potential disaster for the local economy. Both Lund and the investigation quickly become embroiled in the politics of the financial crisis and all too late she begins to piece together the perpetrator's plan and the sort of debt he is seeking to reclaim; a moral debt which costs lives and involves the taking of a particularly chosen hostage. Destinies cross over all sections of Danish society as the hunt for the perpetrator intensifies towards a dark secret which eventually puts everything at stake for both the Prime Minister, Robert Zeuthen and Sarah Lund.

Reviews for The Killing TV Series
..“hugely addictive, well acted, and often quite brilliant mini-series” The One-Line Review
“..There has been a number of truly great mini-series over the many years, going right back to the 1970's when the format first took place, with the likes of Rich Man, Poor Man, Roots, etc. And Volume One of Denmark's The Killing is right up there with the best of them. With a timeline structure presented as one day for each episode, the writing (by series creator Soren Sveistrup) and direction are nothing short of masterful, and the performances by every single actor are exemplary.” digital-retribution.com (for season 1)
“…The mood and the visual style of the series is again informed by intelligence and a sense that the creative team who made it accept their audience doesn’t have to be spoonfed.” The Guardian UK (season 3)
“…And the key to that success is Sarah Lund herself, played to such reserved perfection by Sofie Gråbøl. She has become the most compelling TV heroine since Prime Suspect’s Jane Tennison – possibly even since Cagney and Lacey!” Telegraph, UK
