The Killing

We have been extremely naughty and downloaded the rest of the series and are watching 2 episodes a night to feed our addiction

Well, I enjoyed it but have to admit to not understanding any of it.

My husband insisted on staying up to watch episodes 7 and 8 tonight even though we're tired out after a busy day and will probably have a disturbed night with poorly grandson. Husband very rarely watches anything on iPlayer, but finds The Killing to be compulsive viewing. We'll watch the last two episodes tomorrow.

Please tell me what you think tomorrow. I still found it compulsive viewing, but feel I need to read an 'idiots guide to...' I'll go on the Guardian blog and see what they say! I need to piece it all together. What I like about the series is the way that they don't have botoxed, airbrushed actors/actresses; they are all so real.

I have just watched the final episodes on iPlayer but won't say anything to spoil it for afficianados who may not have seen them yet. Suffice it to say there was a fair amount of "NO!!" "OMG" and similar exclamation from this end!

Hmm - I was a bit disappointed, too many holes in the plot....

Thoroughly enjoyed the last two episodes, we do find we have to discuss it to make sure we have followed it all..
Roll on Series three next year!
Meanwhile they also advertised another Danish series Borgen,in the New Year with Jan Meyer, Lund's dead colleague from series one.

Without giving the plot away for those who haven't yet watched the final episodes, I couldn't work out what Bilal had done that was so bad that he had to do what he did (if that makes sense!). Had to go to the Guardian blog for enlightenment!

This series generated a huge amount of discussion in our home; husband and I couldn't leave the thing alone, we had to revisit every twist and turn in the story. Now we need to buy the DVD so that we can watch it again in light of knowing 'whodunnit'. I was in smug mode at the end as I had correctly worked out the who and how, explaining my reasoning to husband who was admiring of my deductive skills. (smug emoticon)

Well done you Grannyactivist. I find myself floundering as to who did what with these non English Language progs because there is not that give away clue of it usually being one of the best known actors who is the villain. It usually starts with them only being around a little bit in the early part and you find yourself wondering why such a high profile actor would be doing such a small part............but then the penny drops! With The Killing et al you dont know any of the actors and it makes for a lot more fun!

Love the 'Killing' (both series) but like some other Grannies out there, was a bit lost at times. Wonder whether some things were lost in translation or perhaps I was dozing when I should have been reading the sub-titles. As it is always on at 9 p.m. on a Saturday, usually after a super meal cooked by himself washed down with a fine bottle of something red, white or pink, perhaps I should just record and watch first thing in the morning!
