The Daily Beast: AMC's New Killer Drama, The Killing

Every now and then comes along a supremely smart, compulsively addictive serialized drama series that hooks you from the very first moments.

Welcome to The Killing, AMC's newest drama offering, which begins on Sunday evening (look for a review of the first three episodes before then) and is based on the hit Danish series Forbrydelsen.

Over at The Daily Beast, you can read my latest feature, in which I talk to executive producer Veena Sud and cast members Mireille Enos (Big Love) and Billy Campbell (The 4400) and explore the show's thematic similarities to another addictive mystery, Twin Peaks, and compare it to the disturbing trend of "murder porn" in most American television crime procedurals.

The Killing premieres with a special two-hour launch on Sunday at 9 pm ET/PT on AMC. You do not want to miss out on this remarkable new series!
