Season 3 : Episode 1

Show Summary

AMC's crime drama is based on the popular Danish series called Forbrydelsen. Season one and two follows three different subplots all linked to the single murder of Rosie Larsen. Season 3 picks up a year and a half after the close of the Rosie Larsen case. Sarah Linden is no longer a detective, she has a boyfriend and works at the ferries. Ex-partner Stephen Holder has moved on and has a new partner. He starts out looking for a runaway girl but discovers a grisly string of murders. His case leads to one of Linden's previous murder investigations and, in turn, draws Linden back into the detective game.

  • Getting worse

    7.0
    Everyone has to understand that the whole show is this one case, and it won't be solved anytime soon. The whole point of this kind of shows is the drama. Season 1 was very good. I wanted it to continue, but so far in Season 2, its just getting more and more boring and nonsensical. The police is getting slower and dumber. Detectives letting personal issues take priority. And whole episodes going by with next to nothing happening. At this rate, a 3rd season would be out of the question. I really hope they do something about it, and soon!



    And I'm sick of watching this loser feeling sorry for himself in hospital bed, so many times in a single episode.moreless

  • Not for the Faint-Hearted

    This dense melodrama is dark, both emotionally and visually. Unlike traditional murder mysteries, it takes more than an hour or two to tie up all the loose ends. In fact, it takes two seasons, even though they only cover a few weeks of story time. The bottom line is, expect to explore the lives of these characters in excruciating depth, rather than skipping along on the surface of their lives. This reviewer found it well worth the time spent.moreless

    I love this show. It is one of the most compelling and gripping shows. They keep convincing me the murderer is someone else which makes it a joy to watch. It reminds me of homeland and damages because of its intelligence and pay off.
  • A great show but with some reservations

    9.0
    My rating would have been 10 if this show was done in a 13 episodes with one season, cutting off all the unnecessary details and overwhelming emotions. To tell you the truth, the only way I could watch it completely is by recording it and then fast forwarding half of every episode. It was as the name indicated a "killing" slow motion picture.
