The Killing (US)

The Killing (Template:Lang-da Template:IPA-da,[1] "The crime") is a Danish police procedural three-season long television drama series created by Søren Sveistrup and produced by DR. It was first broadcast on the Danish national television channel DR1 on 7 January 2007, and has since been transmitted in a number of other countries worldwide.

The series is set in the Copenhagen main police department and revolves around Detective Inspector Sarah Lund (played by Sofie Gråbøl) and her team, with each season series following a different murder case day-by-day and a one-hour episode covering twenty-four hours of the investigation. The series is noted for its plot twists, season-long storylines, dark tone and for giving equal emphasis to the story of the murdered victim's family alongside the police investigation. It has also been singled out for the photography of its Danish setting, and for the acting ability of its cast.

The Killing has proved a hit in both Denmark and across the globe, garnering significant critical acclaim in a number of different countries (particularly in the United Kingdom, Germany and The Netherlands) and becoming something of a cult television show. It has received numerous awards and nominations including a BAFTA Award and an International Emmy, and in 2011 a US remake was produced by the American cable network AMC.[2] A novelization of the first series was published by Macmillan in 2012.

Production

Writing

Series creator and head writer Søren Sveistrup worked closely with lead actress Sofie Gråbøl throughout the writing process to successfully develop the character of Detective Inspector Sarah Lund, and Sofie Gråbøl in particular became eager to defend her creation. At one stage in production the writing team hinted that she may have an affair with the local politician Troels Hartmann, whose mayoral campaign becomes intertwined with the murder enquiry, but the actress flatly rebuked such a story arc: "I rushed into the writers' office and said: 'You are not doing that. It's a sell-out.' I remember saying: 'I am Clint Eastwood! He doesn't have a girlfriend!'" The affair storyline was subsequently dropped.

Casting

Although Sofie Gråbøl had a history of playing emotionally demonstrative characters on Danish television, she had worked with Sveistrup before on the TV-series Nikolaj og Julie, and he approached her directly to play the part of the more unsociable Sarah Lund before work on the script began.

Filming

Despite her insistence that she wanted to play an "isolated person [who is] unable to communicate" Gråbøl initially found it difficult to strike the right balance for the emotionally distant Lund, until she realised that the only people she knew who were like the character were men. As a result she began "acting like a man" until the character took shape.

During filming of the first series, Sveistrup also refused to reveal the identity of the murderer or even specific plot points to members of the cast, including Sofie Gråbøl. The actors would only receive the scripts on an episode-by-episode basis, just moments before shooting was scheduled to begin. Gråbøl was told only that she was not the killer.[3]

Series 1

The first series consists of 20 one-hour episodes that follow the police investigation into the murder of a young woman, from its commencement on 3 November through to its conclusion on 22 November.

The first ten episodes were shown on DR1 each Sunday from early January to the middle of March 2007, and the intention was to show the remaining ten episodes in January–March 2008; however, the popularity was so great in Denmark that already in early March it was announced that the final ten episodes would be brought forward to the autumn of 2007; they were shown from late September to late November 2007.

Plot

Detective Chief Inspector Sarah Lund is looking forward to her last day with the Copenhagen police force, planning to move to Sweden with her fiancé and transfer to the Swedish police. However, everything changes when a 19-year old woman, Nanna Birk Larsen, disappears only to be found raped and brutally murdered. Along with her colleague, Detective Inspector Jan Meyer, Sarah is forced to head the investigation as it soon becomes clear that she and Meyer are chasing a very intelligent and dangerous murderer. Meanwhile, local politician Troels Hartmann is in the middle of a hard-fought mayoral campaign when evidence links him to the murder, adding a political thread and further intrigue to the storyline. At the same time, the girl's family and friends struggle to cope with their loss.

Over a span of 20 days, suspect upon suspect is sought out as violence and political pressures cast their shadows over the hunt for the killer.

Series 2

The second series, Forbrydelsen II, takes place two years after the first and consists of ten episodes. It first aired in Denmark between 27 September and 29 November 2009.[8] Episodes were screened eleven days later on Thursdays on Norwegian NRK1.[9] It was shown on German TV channel ZDF[10] and on Swedish SVT[11] in the autumn of 2010. In the United Kingdom, it was shown on BBC Four, starting from 19 November 2011, following the success of the first series,[12][13] on the Belgian channel, Canvas, starting on 25 November 2011,[14] and in Australia on SBS Two, starting from 21 March 2012.[15] The Region 2 DVD with English subtitles was released on 19 December 2011.[16]

Plot

After the resolution of the Larsen case, Lund is demoted and works as a passport officer in the southern town of Gedser. Ulrik Strange, a detective from Copenhagen, visits Lund on behalf of her former boss, Lennart Brix, and asks for her help in solving the murder of lawyer Anne Dragsholm. Despite initial disinterest, Lund joins the investigation and comes to suspect that the murder is not as straightforward as it seems, despite the forced confession of Dragsholm's husband. Meanwhile, Thomas Buch, the newly appointed Minister of Justice, suspects that his predecessor was involved in the cover-up of a massacre of Afghan civilians by Danish soldiers, and that this incident is connected with Dragsholm's murder.[17]

Lund is about to be discharged from the case when a second murder, that of a Danish military veteran, leads to the conclusion that Islamic extremists are behind the killings. Jens Peter Raben, a war veteran currently incarcerated in a mental hospital, knew both victims and sticks to his story that his unit was present during the execution of an Afghan family by a special forces officer named "Perk". Raben escapes, and two other members of the unit are murdered. Suspicion falls on senior military officers, including Raben's father-in-law, Colonel Jarnvig, and his Deputy Major Søgaard (who is in love with Raben's wife Louise).

In the course of the investigation, Lund and Strange become fond of one another. Meanwhile, Buch and his secretarial team, Carsten Plough and Karina Munk Jørgensen, uncover further evidence of the cover-up. Buch finds it impossible to convince his cabinet colleagues of the plot, and is pressured to continue scapegoating Muslims for the murders in order to assure the passage of a strict anti-terrrorism law. Raben takes refuge in a church presided over by a former army chaplain, who tries to deter him from any further investigation of the crimes and urges him to give himself up. After Raben leaves, the chaplain's dying body is discovered by Lund, who pursues the killer and is surprised when he does not take an easy opportunity of attacking her.

Lund arranges for the exhumation of a deceased Danish army officer, Per K. Møller, suspecting him of involvement in the massacre in Afghanistan. Her investigations lead nowhere until it is learned that someone is still using Møller's identity. When Lund and Strange catch up with Raben, he identifies Strange as "Perk", leading the inspector to shoot him. An injured Raben persists in accusing Strange of being the officer responsible for the massacre, yet it is later officially confirmed that he had left Afghanistan before the time of the killings.

Lund continues to be uneasy about Strange's alibis for the murders, but takes him with her to Afghanistan to investigate a new suspect, the brother of one of the soldiers killed under Raben's command. This also proves a dead end, but Lund's persistence results in the discovery of the bones of the Afghan civilians. Upon returning to Denmark, Lund meets her mother, who has had a premonition of Lund lying dead. Following a further search of a military barracks, suspicion falls on an anti-Taliban Muslim officer, Bilal, when plans for the soldiers' murders are found in his possession. A confrontation with Raben, Lund and Strange leads to Bilal blowing himself up; they escape only thanks to Strange's quick-witted actions.

Strange volunteers to return Raben to the mental hospital, but Lund insists on going with them. On the way, they make a stop at the scene of Dragsholm's murder, where Lund points out to Strange the reasons why Bilal is unlikely to have been involved. Strange gives himself away by revealing a detail that only the murderer could know, and confesses to the murders before shooting Lund with her own gun, which he then plants on Raben. He is about to shoot Raben when Lund hits him over the head. Raben is incapacitated by Strange's sudden revelation that Raben himself had been actively involved in the civilian deaths, a fact that Raben had blanked out of his memory. When Strange tries to retrieve his gun, Lund shoots him dead. As the police arrive at the scene, she walks away, removing the bullet-proof vest she had been wearing.

Series 3

The third series, Forbrydelsen III, premiered on Danish television on 23 September 2012.[19] It commenced on NRK1 in Norway on Monday 8 October 2012,[20] and had an audience of 436,000 in the face of stiff competition. Series 2 on NRK started with 578,000 viewers in 2009.[21] Series 3 also started on BBC Four in the UK on 17 November 2012, where 1.04 million viewers watched the first episode.[22]

Plot

This final series of Forbrydelsen explores the global financial crisis as the ostensibly random murder of a sailor leads Sarah Lund through the financial community.[23] Lund has ambitions for promotion and a new lifestyle, but at the same time is struggling to maintain a relationship with her son Mark. Through the investigation she finds herself thrown together with a former lover, Mathias Borch, who now works for Special Branch. When Emilie Zeuthen, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, is kidnapped, the link between the latest series of murders and the apparent suicide of an orphaned teenager becomes clear. While Lund and Borch hunt down the kidnapper, the government is on the verge of collapse as the prime minister, relying on Zeuthen's support for his economic policies, discovers that his own son Benjamin was also connected with the girl's death. After Emilie is found and the kidnapper accidentally killed, Lund takes it on herself to make sure that a serial killer does not go unpunished.[24]

Overseas success

In the wake of the successful Wallander series, The Killing became another Scandinavian crime hit with British viewers when it was shown on BBC Four in the spring of 2011. Although subtitled, it attracted more viewers than Mad Men,[26] scored audience appreciation figures of 94%,[27] and has been described as "the best series currently on TV".[28] The success has created an interest in all things Danish,[29] and the female detective's Faroese jumper has been the subject of newspaper articles as well as becoming a sought after online item.[30]

As well as the UK, DR also sold the series to a number of other broadcasters worldwide, and The Killing was eventually shown in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Germany, Japan, Russia and Spain with varying degrees of success. Producer Piv Bernth described the broad appeal of the show as "groundbreaking", and explained what she believed to be the root of its popularity:

"It's the first time you have a detective drama over 20 episodes – other series had one killing per episode. And we also have this three-plot structure – what does it [a murder] mean for a police investigator, what does it mean for the parents, what does it mean for the politicians. It's not just about finding the murderer. That's important, but it's not all."[31]

Over 120 countries have purchased the first two seasons of The Killing.[32] The first series has also been shown in other countries, as follows:

Awards and nominations

The Killing has been awarded a number of awards and recognitions from various festivals and organisations from around the globe since it began in 2007. Because of the time lapse in air dates between countries, honours awarded to the first two series are spread out over an unusual number of years.

In the UK, the first series won the 2011 BAFTA award in the "Best International" category. It was also nominated for the Audience Award but lost to reality show The Only Way is Essex.[43] The second series was again nominated for "Best International" in 2012, but lost out to fellow Danish programme Borgen.[44]

Legacy and influence

Subtitled programming in the UK

Following both its critical and ratings success in the United Kingdom, the BBC and other channels began importing and broadcasting more subtitled programmes from a number of different countries. In 2012 the popular Danish drama Borgen and the more popular joint Swedish-Danish venture The Bridge both aired on BBC Four with similarly high viewing figures, while in the same year ITV3 also acquired the original TV2 series Those Who Kill.[45] In late 2011 digital channel Sky Arts also broadcast the Italian series Romanzo Criminale, while FX bought the rights to popular French cop show Braquo.[46]

Although BBC Four had shown subtitled dramas before, notably the Swedish version of Wallander and French police procedural Spiral, controller of the channel Richard Klein described The Killing as "a game-changer". Vicky Frost of The Guardian noted how it was The Killing which "paved the way for a wave of subtitled European crime dramas" appearing on UK television, while head of programming at FX Toby Etheridge also confirmed his belief that "The Killing proved it was possible [to successfully show subtitled drama]".[46]

US remake

Instead of broadcasting the original series, a US remake of The Killing was produced by Fox Television Studios for the American cable network AMC. It premiered on 3 April 2011[2] and ran for two seasons before being cancelled on 27 July 2012.[47] However, On November 8, 2012, it was confirmed that Fox Television Studios were in final negotiations with Netflix in order to continue the series for a third season. AMC, who had originally cancelled the show, was also included in part of the deal. The deal in question would gain the network the privilege of airing the new episodes before they are hosted by Netflix in return for sharing any associated production costs with Netflix.[48] The original US production team are expected to return.[49]

On 8 Apr 2011, Sofie Gråbøl, the star of the Danish series, was interviewed on the BBC Radio 4 programme Woman's Hour,[50] where she explained the American remake was necessary because Americans "for some reason cannot read subtitles, or they don't want to." Gråbøl herself has made a guest appearance in one episode of the American show playing a minor role.

Novelizations

A novelization based on the first series and titled The Killing: Book One was published by Macmillan in 2012. The book was written by British author David Hewson.[51] This was followed by The Killing: Book Two in January 2013.
