The Killing
Over the last week I have watched all 4 seasons of the American show...
Basically an extended nervous breakdown riffing on Twin Peaks for two seasons followed by a relapse and a more ordinary plotting device for seasons 3 and 4.
I found the story of the family in the first two seasons quite emotionally draining, showing how the longer tv format can total crush the short, sharp shock of cinema when it wants to do so.
Good stuff overall, even if the story endings are weak and the over use of red herrings in the first story left too many things unexplained but not in a good, weird way.
