Another Cop Show to Look Forward to (We Hope)

THOSE WHO KILL Coming to U.S.?
by TeamTVWriter Press Service

A&E Network has secured U.S. format rights to Those Who Kill, the Danish crime series based on the books by Elsebeth Egholm, and has ordered a pilot.

The original series revolves around a police detective and a forensic profiler who possess a deep understanding of the serial killers they hunt. Imagine Television and Fox 21 will produce the U.S. pilot; Glen Morgan wrote the script. Morgan, Brian Grazer, Francie Calfo, Peter Bose and Jonas Allen will be executive producers.

If you can’t wait, though, a very interesting version of this same project has been on ITV in the UK since February. Think PRIME SUSPECT set in Denmark, with a younger and, dare we say it, hotter Helen Mirren (Laura Bach). read article

 “I coulda killed you a hundred times today. But this, this was worth the wait.” – John Winchester

I have to be honest, it wasn’t the easiest thing in the world sitting through this entire season. After the first few episodes I had basically given up on the show. It’s not that it was all together bad, I just wasn’t that interested in the “ghost of the week” angle. The only thing that kept me going was the hope that things might pick up if and when they found their father. And thankfully, it did. The back-half of this season really pushed the show to a new level and the finale “The Devil’s Trap”  sealed the deal. read article
