The Killing is based on the wildly successful Danish television series Forbrydelsen and tells the story of the murder of a young girl in Seattle and the subsequent police investigation.
The Killing ties together three distinct stories around a single murder including the detectives assigned to the case, the victim's grieving family, and the suspects. Set in Seattle, the story also explores local politics as it follows politicians connected to the case. As the series unfolds, it becomes clear that there are no accidents; everyone has a secret, and while the characters think they've moved on, their past isn't done with them.

I really don´t like season 2 up to now. The plot isn´t evolving at all.
I don't get why everyone says the ending of season 1 sucked...did you want to know who was the killer that soon?
I'm finishing the season to know how it ends, but it's really boring. When they go with the victim's family I wish the girl's murderer to kill them too, especially the mother.
@Mujahedine Yep, the end really sucks. The end kill the Rosie!
worst ending ever !
I watched the german reedit "Kommissarin Lund – Das Verbrechen" of Forbrydelsen prior to this and I´m a little disapointed. But apart from the Office that´s the case for every american remake I`ve seen so far...
Renewed:

I'll get the original first.
First two episodes are free to download in the US iTunes Store.
@Inigo But they also made The Walking Dead, which wasn't that good.
AMC have a good record with drama being the home of Mad Men and Breaking Bad. While I'm not quite sure they can manage to make it as rich with only 13 episodes, I think anyone loving Forbrydelsen should give it a shot.
@kakature: true, but i'll still give it a shot
This can only be disappointing after seeing Forbrydelsen :p
