The AMC drama
The Killing follows a pair of Seattle homicide detectives as they investigate the murder of teenage girl Rosie Larsen. The series follows a format in which each episode comprises one day, and is likewise different than traditional crime shows in that it gives equal time to the grieving family of the victim as well as a mayoral election campaign that has, at the very least, a circumstantial connection to the case. With its dreary atmosphere, slow moving pace and numerous red herrings that pop up during the investigation,
The Killing is neither perfect nor for everyone. The series is not so much about “Who Killed Rosie Larsen?” however, as it is about the effects of the murder on those caught in the aftermath.
The Killing thus peels away the outer masks of its characters to reveal the secrets inside, the demons that haunt and the struggles within. Nothing is ever what it seems on
The Killing—and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
