well the great joy of The Killing is how well it keeps twisting the plot, in the process making all the police look dumb enough to make you scream, without losing its seductive grapple hook on one's attention .... it is the acting that does it and the mood .... i confess that i have been quite unable to watch it a second time ... not putting myself through that again! [well not now ...] ...

Fully up to date, thanks. Is there ANYBODY in the cast who doesn't have something to hide?Originally posted by Caliban View Post
Only just seen this!
Commiserations! Have you managed to see it and the next few yet?
I'm going to have to leave the last 4 for this weekend, due to a busy week. I thought Eps 15 and 16 were terrific

Great finish looking at the Troll's face change as he walked into the flashing camera bulbs in the final programme - the perp was top of my list from about episode 3 though it was occasionally a lengthy list and sometimes one with virtually nobody. Most enjoyable. At the end last night there was a trailer for season 2 which starts in the autumn which going by the weather up here was about three weeks ago - it's got her creepy boss still in it - but what happened to her old boss - I never quite got where he disappeared to.

He was 'retired' after trying to manipulate evidence.
Great to have the taster for the second series - just as wet, just as dark, just as ragged round the edges, and enough stuff in Troels Hartmann's past to come out to keep that part rumbling too. My impression very much was that he and Nanna had indeed been at it and that Morten had tried to systematically erase all record of it to keep the police out. I suspected at one point that Morten was gay and was trying to protect the man he loved from harm, but that may be fanciful!!Comment

I agree with this. The story thread of a police mole appears to be ongoing. Wasn't the old boss pensioned off because he knew too much. He may return.Originally posted by johncorrigan View PostGreat finish looking at the Troll's face change as he walked into the flashing camera bulbs in the final programme - the perp was top of my list from about episode 3 though it was occasionally a lengthy list and sometimes one with virtually nobody.

It was a pity Jan Meyer was killed off. His relationship with Lund was fascinating. His death in hospital was surely suspicious, since it was said he would pull through and had seen his killer
Someone told me they had changed the ending following a leak. I wonder what the original was.
I was afraid this thread might have spoilers so have only just skipped through it after the last episode. I was riveted by this production, which tends to confirm two of life's principles:
- Trust nobody
- There is usually more to things than meets the eyeComment

I agree, very fine acting indeed. The rest of the cast were superb too. The look on the prosecutor's face when they discovered the traces of blood in the cellar was another great moment.Originally posted by johncorrigan View Post
Meyer surprised me, I had assumed that he would be an important element in series 2, and his death - a blood transfusion that went wrong!!! - was highly suspicious.
Roll on series 2!SteveComment

I daren't read any of the latter contributions here, as I have the last 4 saved up for a Killing spree this weekend
Luckily I was in at 10 last night, because the PVR froze and wouldn't launch the recording of the final episode I was able to spring into action and set it recording manually, before the catch-up / opening titles sequence ended, I think. I would have been cross otherwise... although the iPlayer would have come to my rescue, the pic quality is not quite up there.
Can't wait. Phone off hook. Large splash of Famous Grouse on some ice....

How strange, I had a similar experience. I have been watching the series live, but also recording it on my Virgin TV box in case I missed an episode. Last night the box rebooted itself just as the program started. Since I also watch the TV from the box's output I had to hurriedly switch the TV to receive the program over the air using the TV's inbuilt tuner.Originally posted by Caliban View PostSteveComment

Odd that. Mine's freeview so it obviously wasn't a glitch with the signal...Originally posted by Stunsworth View Post"...the isle is full of noises,

I think we should let Lund know that something suspicious has happened.Originally posted by Caliban View PostSteveComment

It's amazing how much havoc one bloody-minded lady detective can cause in the course of a single investigation.
A free piece of trivia: the actor who plays Hartmann has a brother, also an actor, who appears in 'A Quantum of Solace'.Comment
