The Killing - created by Søren Sveistrup - the iconic police procedural drama series that marked the beginning of ‘Nordic Noir’. A multi-award-winning and internationally acclaimed crime series set in Copenhagen revolves around Detective Inspector Sarah Lund (Sofie Gråbøl). Each season follows a murder case day by day. Each fifty-minute episode covers twenty-four hours of the investigation. The series is known for its plot twists, season-long storylines, dark tone and for giving equal emphasis to the stories of the murdered victim's family and the effect in political circles alongside the police investigation. An international hit - garnering significant critical acclaim - The Killing is cult television at its finest. (Madman Entertainment)
