The need to readjust plotlines to fit into significantly shorter episodes was mirrored by the need for a season-ending climax at what represented the halfway point of the story. вЂњThe KillingвЂќ reduced many of these scenes to curt exchanges or off-hand remarks delivered in passing.

вЂњThe KillingвЂќ has all of those elements, but they couldnвЂ™t play out and build in a linear fashion over the course of 20 hours as they do in вЂњForbrydelsen.вЂќ The Danish show can get a bit slow and melodramatic at points - and clarity of structure does not make implausible coincidences more believable, it just makes them more obvious - but it offers a kind of formal, old-school satisfaction that the jumpier, more cryptic (as opposed to more mysterious) American adaptation has lacked.Д®vents may unfold at about the same pace in the two shows, but they seem to move faster and more chaotically in вЂњThe Killing.вЂќ Whether itвЂ™s the luxury of longer episodes or simply a matter of style, вЂњForbrydelsenвЂќ is full of interrogations, briefings and discussions that impart information and guide us through the story.

(Each has one: a fellow detective, a political adviser and a husband.) As the police focus on a seemingly endless series of suspects who turn out to be innocent, the investigation comes close to destroying each of the main characters. The mystery is absorbing and for the most part credible, but the real subject is the corrosive effect the case has on these people and their partners. Three damaged characters - a detective, a mayoral candidate and the mother of a murdered girl - are caught up in a murder investigation, and they all, for their own reasons, are trying to solve the case, in ways that lead them to stymie and hurt one another. Much of the appeal of вЂњForbrydelsen,вЂќ a shrewd mix of police procedural, political thriller and domestic drama, comes from its classically shaped and steadily articulated structure. Watching вЂњForbrydelsenвЂќ itвЂ™s clear that despite the hedging comments of the American producers, it was ordained that вЂњThe KillingвЂќ would not solve its mystery in one season, and that it would need a full second season to wrap things up.ДЄnd the division of the narrative arc into two seasons created problems for вЂњThe KillingвЂќ beyond the question of closure (which was really more of a marketing and publicity issue than a creative one). But the similarities between the two - in premise, cast of characters and broad outline of the story - were much more pronounced. In the course of those 13 episodes the American show departed in many details from the original. Season 1 of вЂњThe KillingвЂќ comprised 13 American-length episodes of about 45 minutes each - roughly half the total running time of the Danish season. Season 1 of вЂњForbrydelsenвЂќ consisted of 20 episodes, each close to 58 minutes long (without commercials). The first comparison to be made between the two shows is a simple matter of mathematics.

A nicely packaged DVD set of the first season, with English subtitles, can be ordered online - it currently costs about $38 plus shipping from AmazonвЂ™s British site - and watched on a computer with a media player that ignores regional coding. You can do it too, and legally, even though вЂњForbrydelsenвЂќ (вЂњThe CrimeвЂќ) hasnвЂ™t been distributed in any format in America. ThatвЂ™s what I did recently in preparation for Season 2 of the American show, which begins Sunday night on AMC. It revealed who killed Nanna Birk Larsen, RosieвЂ™s European antecedent, way back in 2007.

The second was that if you really wanted to know the answer, or an answer, all you had to do was watch вЂњForbrydelsen,вЂќ the Danish show on which вЂњThe KillingвЂќ was based. One was that if the showвЂ™s writers had wrapped up the story in that 13th episode, those same fans and critics would have complained - justifiably - that the season had been rushed and confusing and that the killer had been identified too abruptly.

In the wake of that cascade of ill will I had two thoughts. The explosion came later, when complaints poured in that the show had failed to solve the season-long mystery the network had advertised with the teasing slogan вЂњWho Killed Rosie Larsen?вЂќ A gun was pointed at a murder suspectвЂ™s head, and then there was a quick cut to the credits. LAST June the first season of вЂњThe KillingвЂќ on AMC ended without a bang.
