Forbrydelsen

Or The Killing is a Danish police procedural three-season long television drama series created by Søren Sveistrup. It was first broadcast on Danish national television in 2007, and has since been transmitted in a number of other countries worldwide.
The series is set in the Copenhagen main police department and revolves around Detective Inspector Sarah Lund (played by Sofie Gråbøl) and her team, with each season series following a different murder case day-by-day and a one-hour episode covering twenty-four hours of the investigation. The series is noted for its plot twists, season-long storylines, dark tone and for giving equal emphasis to the story of the murdered victim's family alongside the police investigation. It has also been singled out for the photography of its Danish setting, and for the acting ability of its cast.
The Killing has proved a hit in both Denmark and across the globe, garnering significant critical acclaim in a number of different countries (particularly in the United Kingdom and The Netherlands) and becoming something of a cult television show. It has received numerous awards and nominations including a BAFTA Award and an International Emmy. Having watched series 1 we are addicted and had to buy all three series today to watch them ...
