What are some other comparable shows? I watched Gracepoint (the US version of Broadchurch). It was okay. It felt more like standard TV, whereas The Killing felt more cinematic and dark and moody. Any recommendations as to what can fill the void left by the end of The Killing?
True Detective Justified The Shield The Wire Luther Breaking Bad The Sopranos
And, of course, the Danish original.
Another Danish-Swedish production, The Bridge [Bron/Broen] is also quite good, and has also been remade in the US. Plus, the Swedish series Beck is also very good, with much of the dark tone of The Killing.
Dr. Zaat, nice list. I agree with your list--well, the ones I saw.
But I think the big two are: The Wire and True Detective.
The other shows listed are great, especially The Sopranos and Breaking Bad, but I think the the two I pointed out are the most similar (not saying the others aren't).
All great recommendations especially Luther, The Fall, and The Bridge. I would also check out The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo miniseries (the Swedish version)
