[[caption-width:350: Det Sarah Linden and her partner Stephen Holder]]
''The Killing'' is an American crime drama airing on Creator/{{AMC}} based on the Danish series ''Series/{{Forbrydelsen}}'' (literally translates ''The Crime'' but marketed to English-speaking territories as ''The Killing''). Each arc focuses on one crime with each episode devoted to one day in the investigation. Set in UsefulNotes/{{Seattle}}, Washington, the first arc (broken into two half-seasons) focuses on the murder of Rosie Larsen, from three different perspectives:
Detective Sarah Linden was about to move to UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco, but the grisly crime persuades her to stick around and solve it herself, accompanied by her would-be replacement, Stephen Holder.
Rosie's parents, Stanley and Mitch, try to move on with their lives to the best of their ability, but it's far easier said than done.
Mayoral candidate Darren Richmond makes the case an important part of his campaign, declaring that this kind of crime will not happen on his watch. But along with the tactic comes struggles with his conscience over exploiting the tragedy.

!!''The Killing'' provides examples of:
* ActorAllusion: A character that interacts with Holder in season 3 looks conspicuously like [[TheGirlWithTheDragonTattoo Lizbeth Salander]]. Joel Kinnaman (Holder) had a silent cameo in the American adaptation of the first book.
* AloneWithThePsycho: Linden with the Pied Piper, [[spoiler: aka her ex-partner and lover, Skinner]] in the season 3 finale.
* ArtisticLicenseGeography:
** The Blue Moon bar is a real place, as mentioned below (See DidTheResearch), but it's in Seattle, not Tukwila.
** Wapi Casino island: Is it Whidbey or Bainbridge? The detectives point to Whidbey on the map in one important scene, but the rest of the indications point to Bainbridge.
* BottleEpisode: "Missing" and ''Six Minutes''.
* ButchLesbian: Chief Jackson and her security chief.
** Bullet in the third season.
* {{Cliffhanger}}: Each episode tends to end on the revelation of a dramatic new lead.
* TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: Several characters point out that Linden is neglecting her own child, leaving him alone for extended periods of time, while she's busy trying to solve the murder of someone else's child.
* ContinuityNod: In Season 2's "Eminent Domain", Holder briefly mentions "Mayor Richmond's waterfront", which was a plot point in Season 1.
* CrypticBackgroundReference: People close to Linden are routinely bringing up events in her life and past cases which hint that they have a reason to worry about her getting too involved in the Larsen case.
