CRITICS OF "The Killing - Season 1 [Audio: French]"
Troy Patterson
The prologue practically functions as a schematic diagram of all the police procedurals - with their virtuous investigators and their quasi-necrophiliac tone - that The Killing seems to deconstruct and reassemble on a higher plain.
The best reason for tuning in to The Killing is that it might re-sensitize those who've seen one too many episodes of Criminal Minds - or overdosed on local news.
The Killing is the least prepossessing, an eerily quiet, yet compelling and complex, tale of the way the murder of a teenager affects the lives of many people.
The Killing is your basic Law & Order murder mystery - the step-by-step investigation, the list of perps that expands with each new piece of evidence, the "aha!'' and "really?'' twists.
The fact that The Killing is nothing like other crime dramas on American television is a welcome relief. After all, between multi-city franchises and tired formulas, they are beginning to blend woefully together.
The disparate detectives of The Killing may have their own means and methods of getting to the bottom of this. But the overall air of believability is palpable from the start. All the better for taking a deep breath and diving right in.
