This is really good. I'm typically not a fan of cop drama, but AMC put their magic touch on this. How many episodes are planned?

I am very pleased so far. I do hope they vary the pacing a bit, I'm not a fan of the "slow and heavy emoting with a surprise twist right at the end" format. Pairing this with Game Thrones could make a solid night of TV, something that hasn't happened in years.

I agree. I have a feeling if they don't the middle of the season is going to drag a lot.

It'll be interesting to see how long they stretch it. I actually think one season isn't a bad idea. But I guess they could do a Dexter kinda thing and have each season focus on a new murder...

I don't know.

From seeing only the pilot, I couldn't help but get a Twin Peaks vibe. But since Twin Peaks is awesome, that makes me want to catch the rest of this show when I have the chance.

The whole Pacific NW thing and the "Who Killed..." in the ads really reminds me of Twin Peaks. But in terms of tone and look, I'm reminded more of The X-Files. Though, The Killing doesn't appear to have any paranormal bend to it.

But the show is its own. Definitely check it out.

Cool.

Makes sense. And could work well. How long did the original series run?

I'ma check this show out. I'm a huge fan of Breaking Bad and I even somewhat liked that Rubicon show so AMC has street cred with me.

yeah, there's elements of both of those shows with the moodiness and setting which in itself is great, but I agree this one stands on its own. hope the strong writing & acting continues the rest of the way.

Last night's episode was really good. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all progresses.

Have only seen the first two hours so far, but I'm hooked.
