Forbrydelsen (The Killing), season-3 starts on BBC4 next Saturday at 9pm.

I haven't seen 1 and 2 would it be worth watching 3? Have seen the US version which I enjoyed.

I saw the Danish versions first; couldn't watch the US version afterwards.  It (the Danish series) is truly exceptional; up there with The Wire and The Sopranos (but very different).

So I should watch 1 and 2 first so?

Well you know the story in season-1 presumably?  You don't need to see the other seasons before season-3, but it probably helps to get to know the characters.

Now I have a problem. Zombie stuff is not my thing and I've never seen this show, but this episode is so puffed here I was planning to take a look. What am I going to do now?

I don't like Zombie stuff either but gave this a look because of all the hype.Watched the first season,wasn't too impressed.

Have seen 1 and 2 of US and 2 of Danish. Wouldn't say 1 and 2 are a pre-requisite.

Just started watching the first episode of Hell on Wheels - have the whole first season on Sky + so I'll give it a good rattle the next few days

Excellent show. Just finished season 2.

Apparently a 3rd season is not guaranteed unfortunately.

Have seen both versions and the Danish one was much better Dinny, first two series would be worth a watch if you can find them.

Thought Mario was great last night, loved his vinb stuff & Chewbacca as James Reilly. Great to get a glimpse at Sally O'Brien and how she would look at you after all these years, didn't she get a mention here recently?

Thanks for heads up Billy. I thought the first two series (Danish versions) were excellent. I missed the programme about the rise of Hitler, is it worth watching it on I player?

I love my serial killer stuff, so looking forward to seeing Kevin Bacons new show in January, its called the Following.

I thought the USA one was excellent and stood up well on its own merits. The storyline was adapted well to its new environment.

Yes, I assume that you could watch Killing 3 without seeing  1 & 2

Spoiler Alert - Danish-  Killing 1

One thing has bugged me about the  Danish one, did it have a serious flaw in the plot?  In episode 1 after the girl has been murdered but identity not yet confirmed,  the father Theis is seen showing Vagn a property he has bought for what appears to be the first time.
Did that place not turn out to be the murder scene and if so, how did Vagn get to it?

[Canalman]

It was OK. I found the graphics and animation very annoying.  If you have watched any of the programmes about Hitler on the Discovery channel there is nothing new and you will see much the archive material.  Some good input from people alive at the time. 

I will watch the next two programmes.

Very well put. Saw the 1st episode last night and didn't learn a whole amount more than I knew already.
Will of course watch whole series.

Season 6 of Big Bang Theory started last night. Good light hearted viewing .

Is her the serial killer? Can't think of many scarier actors - result of Sleepers and The Woodsman I guess, he always gave me the heebie-jeebies

[clarshack]

anyone else watching American horror story season 2. a very f*cked up show.
