The Killing II

[amateur51]

Lucky you

My dad is about to launch into his Christmas present of KI, having only 'got into' Ms Lund with KII

A propos, Calum and others - you shouldn't miss the Christmas Day "AbFab" which features a surprise visitor....

Oh Caliban promise me it's not Stephen Bloody Fry!?

Lady Gould and I stayed up until 02.30 last night and got to the end of this and like most hereabouts really enjoyed it and cannot wait for SL3. But her Ladyship has, what I think is, a fair question - at the end when you know who, having shot everyone else in the head, shoots you know who, why is it all chest stuff?

It was a flaw, I agree. At the time I remember thinking - 'she can't have been sure that would work, she must have managed to put blanks in that gun... but of course that wouldn't have worked with head shots either.

Lady G is on to something

wait 'til I tell her Rumpole agrees!

I agree - it occurred to me too but I thought it was just me.

It often is

In fact it frequently is

A great series - when's Spiral III coming on?

New thriller series Borgen starts tonight on BBC4. Political rather than crime.

New crime series "The Bridge" starts in the spring.

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

...Borgen seems more West Wing than thriller but highly enjoyable imv ....

It was good to see Sarah Lund's side-kick (Jan Meyer played by Søren Malling) from The Killing Series I back, this time as the politician's husband.

And he is SO different! Laid back, supportive, resourceful. Sure there must eventually be a twist in all this as she spends more and more time away from home.

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

and Lund other side kick is the tv producer!

[Nick Armstrong]

and Lund other side kick is the tv producer!

Yes having both sidekicks in there was one reason I couldn't get into it, having had their Killing roles engraved into my brain... It prevented the suspension of disbelief.

That and the absence of gruesome corpses...

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

...give yourself a little time to recover Caliban ... this is so far a warm offering from scandinavia

The big question is - will Borgen do for Danish pastries what The Killing did for jumpers?
I don't think so.
Too soapy.

I think the Danish Tourist Board has got more closely involved with the production team of Borgen. There seem to be a lot more airy and sunny shots of Copenhagen landmarks, whereas The Killing I & II seemed to take place mainly at night and was full of disused warehouses and wharves which usually contained either a dead body or a serial killer. Much more of that and people will be starting to wonder where that Danish bacon has come from.
