AMC's The Killing

@TheKilling_AMC

So this past Sunday night, AMC premiered their latest television show "The Killing." This drama revolves around a dead Rosie Larsen (who was last seen at her school Halloween dance). She is this pretty 17 year old girl living in Seattle who wants to go to college, hang out with her friends and take her little brothers bike riding. A real Doll. (Or is she...?)

 The show follows three story lines: the detectives working the case, the grieving Larsen Family, and a politician running for Mayor. Why the politician is important? We don't really know...yet. He is tied to the case because the vehicle that Rosie was found in, is registered to him and this makes him a suspect. (Also, his behavior is very suspicious. And everyone knows you can't trust a politician.) And speaking of suspects, do we have a list: the rich ex-boyfriend, Rosie's best friend, the politician, one of his campaign goons. Basically, I think the whole city of Seattle and the surrounding area are suspects at this point in time.

The show is a little slow in the beginning but what Pilot isn't besides 24? Just go with it, alright people. Turn in and follow the story every Sunday at 9 PM (I think. Check your local listings). This is AMC. Must I remind you about MadMen and The Walking Dead? They don't let us down. AMC produces shows rich in characters and stories. Great writing and great acting make this enjoyable viewing.  

Ok, Theory Time:
My money's on Rosie's teacher. And here is why: He seems a little too into the whole investigation (and what I learned from watching Criminal Minds is that a killer always wants to insert themselves into the investigation.) My guess is that him and Rosie had this thing on the side. They sneak away from the dance to fool around. Rosie says no, he goes crazy and hits her. She fights back, he kidnaps her (we know that she dies in the woods) and then he kills her. He had some old friends steal a car from the politician's car lot and stuffs her into the truck and sinks the car in the lake. Case closed. You're welcome Detectives.
