Review of The Killing II

Crime mystery thriller that keeps you on tenterhooks for much of it's 10 hour run but falls short of "must see" television perfection. The writer has tried to throw in many ingredients into the mix - a conspiracy on many levels of government, political intrigue, corruption, several dead ends and more than one twist in the investigation.

Unfortunately, the whole package isn't enough to sustain the story for ten episodes. This results in the same themes being re-used in the second half of the show, and all the tension and intrigue just dissipates after the 6th or 7th hour. Cutting the show to just 6 or even 8 episodes would have served the story better.

Overall, a solid mystery thriller that fans of the genre (like me) will no doubt lap up with considerable glee.
