Much has been said and hyped about recently in regards to AMC's brand new series The Killing and rightfully so. This is a cable network that has brought us Mad Men, Breaking Bad and most recently The Walking Dead. It is also derived from an exceptional 20-episode Danish original of the same name, which is one of the most gripping and fascinating foreign screen imports from the last few years. The expectation was high and it has been hyped to hell over the past few weeks before the premiere on Sunday night. Viewing figures for the pilot and the second episode hit 2.7 million, the 2nd biggest of AMC's lifespan in original programming and on repeats that figure has cranked up to nearly 4.6 million. The reviews have also been glowing, universally everyone has been highly laudatory. So is it that good?
