Having missed the first screening of BBC 4’s Danish crime series The Killing, as well as the American version that was aired on Channel 4, I actually got round to watching the first series when it was repeated recently. I was hooked from the first episode, and for a month, Sunday to Thursday evenings revolved around being ready to watch the latest instalment, which is sad, but true.
So, I am glad to hear that the BBC has already bought the second series and is due to show it in November. While I feel slightly disappointed knowing that Lund’s sidekick Meyer will not feature, as well as other prominent characters from the first story, I am waiting for the new story line with anticipation. I am sure it will make for some great, dark entertainment as the winter nights draw in.
