The original Danish thriller ;'The Killer' is superb, along with 'Wallander'
Nobody can compete with Scandinavian thrillers. Maybe "Spiral" a
wonderful french thriller.

Hi there, in Holland watching the original Danish series and I can say only this people: Get over your fear for subtitles!

Although well made, you already sense the fundamental shift in the series, as it feels American. Not wanting to slate that, but we know this now, there are so many similar shows made. The original series has a tempo and a feeling to it that makes it so special, and with the scenery, the accents and the broodiness makes it stand out completely against the majority of mediocre tv being made.


A Shame that in the US people and producers don't have the patience/ time/ willpower to appreciate a superior product in the format it was originally made, thus opening more money to mediocrity and giving less exposure to those that really deserve it and come up with something new and good as opposed to rehashing other people's work into second-class drivel.

Suffice to say, I won't be watching the US version.

Hello,
I'm in the UK watching the original Danish series - the BBC are showing it over 10 weeks in 2 hour chunks every Saturday night..(If you want to cheat you may be able to watch it on the international version of BBC iPlayer - not sure).
The US version looks really good - she even has the wool sweater nailed !!
Unfortunately the BBC won't be buying the US version but I hope it hooks US viewers as it has here - it's fantastic.
Will there be a second US series as the Danes made a second and I think are also making a third ?

Enjoy !!

I am sick and tired of shows set in Seattle that are filmed in Vancouver.

I will watch anything AMC puts on right now. I dig the idea of a 13 episode murder mystery and will definitly check this out.
