The Killing

The Killing is the American adaptation of the Danish mystery Forbrydelsen. A teenage girl’s brutal murder unravels a mystery of political corruption and family struggle, leading Detective Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) to remain in Seattle to solve the case. Linden is supported by her anti-hero partner, Detective Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman), and although they start out at odds with each other, the chemistry between them is the best TV cop pairing since Benson and Stabler. Season 3 follows a new but similar storyline around missing teens, and Season 4, picked up by Netflix, wraps up some loose ends where 3 left off.
