Best crime saga in ages -- The Killing delivers!

AMC blew the doors off on Sunday, with the 2-hour premiere of The Killing. One thing this isn't is some pale recycling of a foreign TV series, cranked out to make a buck. This a incredibly gripping, moody and impossible to shut off who-done-it. Mireille Enos is amazing and Michelle Forbes had probably better clear off some shelf space for awards. The Killing has some moments that evoke the same atmosphere and dread as The Silence of the Lambs. Earning AMC's second-best (after The Walking Dead) premiere ratings ever, The Killing has emerged as mandatory crime viewing. Can't wait for the next installment.
