The Killing

AMC has another interesting crime show in its line up, The Killing. It is the story of a mysterious murder of a young high school girl who was found in the trunk of a local politician's campaign car trunk. The music, aspects of the story, and the Pacific Northwest location (Vancouver standing in for Seattle with several Seattle establishing shots mixed in) draw to mind comparisons with David Lynch's noir-ish Twin Peaks. However, it is adapted from a Swedish crime series, which sounds fascinating in its own right. Here is an interesting interview with the show's crator Veena Sud.
