Having said that, we recommend you watch both of them as there are not exact photocopy of each other. In fact, watching the Danish version helps you better see some of the nuances in the American version so, start with the Danish one. What we will do in this article, is to compare these two versions so that you can make a better judgement about their differences both from technical standpoint but also storylines.

In comparison, The Killing is much shorter and its season 1 includes 13 episodes of about 45 minutes each. Forbrydelsen moves much slower than The Killing and the tone of the story is at times very formal. On the other hand, the conclusion of the cases are much more satisfactory and give the viewers a taste similar to the conclusion of traditional mysteries. The Danish version is kind of cold when it comes to emotional temperatures. The Killing, on the other hand, like many American TV series is much more expressive and the viewers feel the heat.

Amazong has a DVD version of the show available that you can purchase here. On the streaming side, you can watch the episodes on Sidereel. As of March , the series is not available on Netflix anymore but you can stream it on Amazon see here. We certainly think so and have explained some of the reasons behind our thinking in the sections above. But not everybody thinks the same. I understand why people sulked about the first point and I won't dare compare it to The Sopranos' finale but I don't think this should have detracted from the series' strengths to the extent that it did.

Critics went beserk. To me, what did it matter? The narrative keenly demonstrated that, when it comes to crime, the victim is often overlooked. This wasn't about Rosie Larsen, it was about her grieving broken family, the wrong people in politics and two detectives who were trying to bridge the two. My only real gripe is how her really good hair never goes frizzy in the damp.

You invest a lot in Holder, spending the first series wallowing in the guts of a recovering addict and the subsequent series praying to God he doesn't screw up. His slippery relationship with vegan food, his never-dry hair, the way he gets all overexcited when he gets to "go method" with gangs.

Then there's his rolling, laconic accent, which he has a lot of fun with. Completely absurd and untranslatable, but it sort of makes him. I should probably add here that he is the spit of this wonderful Romanian rapper I dated for about six months — in fact, that's why I started watching it in the first place — but he's genuinely very, very good.
