More Danish drama - Those Who Kill

[SomedayIllFlyAway]

Just a heads up - been reading through my TV guide in the Sunday Times, and they picked this as choice (had they not I wouldn't have heard about it as I rarely watch ITV, let alone ITV 2 / ITV 3 / ITV 4 / ITV 583 etc!)

ITV 3 - Thursday 10pm

Those Who Kill

Linky 1

linky 3

The Sunday Times has said:

... Fans of Wire in the Blood, in particular, should find nothing too alien in this story of female detective, Katrine Ries Jenson, who teams up with a renegade crime profiler to solve a series of particularly nasty murders. Fortunately, overfamiliarity is tempered by engaging performances and a satisfying sense of menace.

Ooh, thanks for the heads up! Looks good.

Repeated on Saturday evening too.

The Sunday Times Culture sections tells me all the good TV I need to watch........a must read every Sun to make sure you don't miss Danish things and French cop dramas, True Blood etc. They know all the good stuff!

DD and I are looking forward to it, esp as it has Lars Mikkelsen from The Killing in it.

I can't believe sky+ went blue screen on me in the last bleddy 10 mins of this!

will watch tonight, have a bag of turkish pepper (danish salty salmiak bonbons)

Ooh I love turkish pepper. And the best ice cream in the world is Super Flyers (salmiak water ice on outside, liquorice ice cream inside with a liquorice truffle filling - bit like a liquorice Feast)

Not only did it have Lars Mikkelson from The Killing in, it also had the chap who played one of the soldiers (Soegaard?) from The Killing II and the woman who played the rather awkward secretary from Borgen.

I nearly always fall asleep watching the telly late at night and this kept me awake right until the end, so in my book that means it was very good.

I was gripped, but my legs got too twitchy and tired to concentrate properly, so have recorded the last hour. I'm having to get used to the fast pace after the Killing being such an painstaking affair.

I'm glad katrine thumped Schaeffer for what he did with that lid thing, - I would have too.

I have never heard of turkish pepper

hmm, not on the itvplayer yet...

Is episode 1 going to be repeated any day this week? I missed the last 10 mins of it

:( missed it and not on net player, am at Cub camp this weekend so won't catch the Saturday repeat. Hoping it gets on the net player soon, looking forward to seeing Lars again, almost as tasty as his brother Mads :)

the answet to my email to itv

repeat tonight at 11pm - unfortunately too late again.

Oh PISS!!!

I knew this was coming and I've been leeping an eye on ITV3. How did the hell I. Miss it?!

Right..... I need a blow by blow account of the first episode.....

I really didn't like it that much - it has none of the atmospheric pace and character development of The Killing or even Borgen. It contained every crime scene cliche under the sun in just one episode. It wasn't a patch on Wallander, which does manage to have one case per episode without making it feel like a race. In fact, it's just like all those cheap British and American crime dramas that they keep churning out.

Yeah, I agree. It was very ITV wasn't it?

Good effort, mousey! Have a large bar of chocolate on me

saw the first episode last night.
agree that it could be everywhere.
still liked it and will keep watching.

female police officer not doing as she should - check
dark woods - check
georgeous male(s) working on the case - check
big finale - check

So ... who else stuck with it, and ended up thinking it was OK really?

Finally got around to watching the last episode tonight - can't believe it!
