Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 After enjoying the Danish version, we thought we'd give the US one a go. It looks like it might be good although it's a bit odd knowing in advance what's going to happen even though all the actors and locations are different. Anyone else see it?

Egluntyne Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I saw three quarters of it last week, and then we had a power cut. I tried watching again on the channel 4 player wotsit, but I hadn't the patience to sit through all the bits I had seen already, and couldn't fathom out a way of 'fast forwarding'. Looked promising. I hadn't realised it was based on the Danish programme. Does that explain Sarah's jumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Does that explain Sarah's jumper? It does indeed . It's odd to watch because most of it is very faithful to the Danish original but then there'll be something small that's different. Not sure if it spoils it or not, knowing who "dunnit" right from the start . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I really enjoyed it as could never stay awake for the Danish one, subtitles made me sleepy Apparently the jumper became a cult must have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I started watching this last week. Hubby watched it and loved it. Not seen the Danish one, but was aware it was on. Made me very sad last week though but looking forward to finding out who dunnit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Just noticed that last weeks episode is showing again late tonight on channel 4. Have sky plussed it, so that I can skim past the bits I have already seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Miss the subtitles so we put them on anyway. It feels like watching a film after reading the book, it's good though I'm enjoying it. Wonder if they will change the ending!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Jane Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I read that they have changed the ending - not sure whether that means they've changed the killer though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaches Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Yes, they have changed the killer and the motives too. I loved the Danish version, but am very happy to make do with the US version until Forbrydlesden 2 comes along ....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Yes, they have changed the killer and the motives too. Really . That's good, we can watch it like a real whodunnit now . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 I've only just worked out that the mother in The Killing is scary Mary Ann from True Blood . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Just finished the Danish version...wow, I loved it. I have seen the first episode of the US version and didn't think it was as atmospheric as the Danish version which is beautifully put together. I thought the US version spelled everything out whereas the other Danish one left it more to the acting and direction. I did only watch one though.

Egluntyne Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'm loving the US version. I like Sarah's calmness. I am going to ask Father Christmas for the Danish version boxed set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I like Sarah's calmness. She is uber cool in the Danish version. The whole thing is very slow and atmospheric. Best thing on TV for a while I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Danish version is starting again in a couple of weeks for 20weeks so right through to new year. I'm waiting for the next series, I thought that was going to be in the autumn *stamps feet* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Am loving the original version. Am madly comparing and contrasting it to the Seattle one. All I can say is that it is the same, only different.....and 'darker'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Watched both endings last night. The Danish one was streets ahead in the end I thought. Absolutely gripping from the off. Not sure about those jumpers though. The Seattle one was very good, but compared less favourably with the original, and the ending was nowhere near as explosive. Can't wait for Part Deux.

pips_pekins Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I loved the danish version but couldn't stay awake to watch it every night. A couple of weeks ago I wasn't too good and stuck at home. OH rented the box set for me Brilliant. Now that I know the US version is slightly different, I am hoping to watch that next.

laurmurf Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 me too Egluntyne drove myself mad watching both until the US episode about her son going missing... lost patience with it. The Danish version miles ahead and absolutely gripping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
