Seattle PD detectives Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) and Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman) found themselves in quite a pickle at the end of the latest episode of The Killing on AMC. Vengeance was the theme as day seven of the investigation unfolded, but very little vengeance was on display. What was on display was a big WTF moment as the episode wrapped up.
REVIEW: The Killing: “What You Have Left”

The situation is looking pretty bleak for hipster teacher Bennet Ahmed and his very white and very pregnant wife Amber this week on AMC’s The Killing. Not only does he have the cops sniffing around his door but Rosie’s dad is giving him the stink eye as well. So did he do it?

REVIEW: The Killing “Super 8″
April 26, 2011 By 3 Comments
The action on AMCs The Killing is starting to tighten focus a bit as our tenacious Seattle homicide detectives dig deeper and deeper into the Rosy Larsen murder case. In “Super 8″ the focus was on her teacher Bennet Ahmed and the increasingly corrupt and tangled political campaign of Darren Richmond and not derailed trains and mysterious aliens as the title might imply. Please to not confuse with JJ Abrams.

Things are beginning to unravel a bit up in Seattle as our eerily calm lead detective and her jittery partner/replacement dig deeper into who stuffed poor Rosie Larsen in the trunk of a car.

I’ve watched more than my share of The First 48 and this show nails it. If you aren’t already watching this amazing show then you should be.

The Killing continued its slow burn on AMC Sunday night with an episode that led us a little deeper into the mystery of who killed Rosy Larsen. Nothing groundbreaking here yet, but what is there is executed so well that you almost forget how familiar it feels.

AMC is Killing Sunday night this Spring.
March 29, 2011 By 2 Comments
Who Killed Rosie Larsen? That is the question that AMC wants you to ponder this spring as they unveil their newest drama The Killing. Taken at face value this looks like another attempt to recreate the Who Killed Laura Palmer? juggernaut that dominated everything back in 1991. ABC tried something similar this time last year with Happy Town, which started out strong but quickly devolved into an incoherent mess of fail. From the looks of it AMC’s take on the “dead girl in the woods” story promises to be miles better than Happy Town ever thought about being. But it isn’t quite perfect…yet.
