I actually was very excited to see the return of Paul Reiser. We have fond memories of his past endeavors and he's a pretty funny guy. The premise for this show should have worked, what's not to like?! Family, kids, funny situations that we can all identify with. But somehow it just didn't happen. By the end of the second episode it became quite clear that the show was not going to deliver. I think the supporting cast was the main problem in that they didn't manage to engage the audience or create any sort of interest and while Paul Reiser has not lost his touch, even he can't carry the show all by himself. I sincerely hope we will see Paul Reiser back in a new and better format soon.

Having watched the Danish original "Forbrydelsen" it was with great anticipation and some apprehension that I finally got to see the American adaption to this outstanding and huge successful drama. I was both surprised and amazed. "The Killing" has managed to maintain the somber and somewhat dark ambiance of the original while still incorporating enough elements to make the current version plausible. Kudos to the cast of this version which has kept the integrity of the original and so far, it looks every bit as good as I could have hoped. Although the plot takes its time to unfold, it's well worth the wait. Soon you will be trying to guess who killed the beautiful High School student and realize that nothing is as it seems, each episode offering a different perspective (and suspect) until the tantalizing conclusion. Get hooked!! ;)
