"I caught the two-hour pilot and second episode to this new series, and I have to say, I'm riveted. It's gearing up to be the best s"how I've seen since The Wire. This might be AMC's best work so far..."
Not to start trouble or anything but it its a bit strange to me that you have not mentioned Breaking Bad here...
I'm going to assume you never watched it.
This is the very first 2 minutes of scene 1 in episode 1.
Just saying...
- I have watched every episode of Breaking Bad. It's amazing. But I still think The Killing is right up there with itmonospaced
- It's a Killing thread. There's a breaking bad thread where I'm certain they mention breaking baddopepope
- ok, now you have my attention hahaha, I might have to give it a tryMiguex
- Breaking bad is quality. 100%.dopepope

Just watched all four episodes last night and finished about 3:15am. Couldn't stop watching; i was hooked from the first 5 minutes in.

Loving this show. Finally got a chance to watch it last night and the night before. I think the "acting" is really good, if a bit dead-pan. Obviously, it's the director's intent for the show to feel a bit slow moving.
I am interested to see how this plays out across multiple seasons. Are they planning to do a murder per season or something?
- apparently it's 1 day per episode...supposed to digest it slowlymonospaced
- yes, one case per season. Also, notice one episode = one day.DRIFTMONKEY
- what mono said.DRIFTMONKEY
- I didn't even notice the one day per episode thing, but I did see "Day One" on the first episode, it just didnt register.dMullins

Watching now.. Comparing to The Wire (5 seasons-60 episodes) with just 2 episodes in.. is quite a bold statement sir..
Will give crit shortly...
- Yeah. It's bold. Agreed. We will have to wait and see.monospaced

AMC is right there with HBO nowadays.
Or did HBO fall off?
I did not like Entourage at all.- I don't know if that's a fair assessment. AMC has Mad Men and this. What else?dMullins
- Though I must say that HBO does seem to have fallen off a bit.dMullins
- AMC has Breaking Bad (AMAZING) and The Walking Dead, which are both worth watchingmonospaced
- in my opinion, both are better than Mad Menmonospaced

BUT Wire has so much more going on. This show just delays for drama.

So far im interested but too early to give a real good review. I'll keep watching it and see what unfolds. And dude said this was picked up from a danish series? didnt know that

I feel like I'm being conned into thinking the main detective's partner is being portrayed as dumb half-wit detective only to reveal later that he is a genius. Like how Det. Roland "Prez" Pryzbylews was first introduced on The Wire.
So far it's good and I do see The Wire comparisons but it's still to early to tell.
