The Killing

"Good thrillers know where they have to go. Into the heart of darkness. The author Søren Sveistrup understands the art of approaching it from different places, albeit with a very unique method. [He developed] a mapping of (Danish) society on the brink of decay. [...] Formally, the second season is not simply a variation on the first. In the [ten] new episodes, Inspector Lund is sent to a truly dark province, and in her private life everything has only gotten worse. [...] Sofie Gråbøl plays this with wonderful restraint, nothing of the patented and cracked self-confident demeanor of the German female investigators in the civil service." (Georg Seeßlen, DIE ZEIT) --- Sarah's escape is complicated when she discovers that the photo showing Richmond on the bridge is fake. She therefore decides not to go to California, but to turn to Lieutenant Oakes, who distrusts the district attorney's information and suspects that Sarah is on a path to destruction. However, Sarah trusts her own instincts. Is she deceiving herself?
