The Killing rerun of 2007 series on BBC4
Just completed the truly fantastic 20 episode first series of this Danish Scandi- Noir .
The Killing was so compelling I was often watching 3 or 4 episodes each night.
Sofia Grabol is outstanding as Detective Sarah Lund whose developing obsession with a missing girl case she was asked to start investigating the day before she was due to leave her job in Copenhagen for a new position in Stockholm, threatens to destroy every relationship she has including with her son, her mother, her fiancee and not least, her colleagues.
The case engulfs a leading enigmatic young politician in the local mayoral elections which creates a whole other layer of complications for Lund and her new co investigator colleague, Jan Meyer, whose working relationship is fractious at best.
This is so well written , acted and crafted that British crime drama s look amateurish by comparison.
I'm now just starting series 2....
This is as high a recommendation as I could possibly give for a show....brilliant!!
