Those Who Kill

My wife and I love detective shows so we watched a good part of this series. It has many problems: graphic violence and torture scenes, numerous implausible actions, dialogue that frequently omits the main points, and two leads whose personal "baggage" completely dominates their lives and their work. About halfway through the series, we began skipping episodes to quickly get to the end and be done with it. We would not recommend this series.

Those Who Kill is an American crime/drama television series created by Glen Morgan. The series originally premiered on the American cable television network A&E on March 3, 2014, and was re-launched on its sister network, the Lifetime Movie Network, on March 30. It is based on the Danish television series Den som dræber. The show was shot on location in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. On May 18, 2014, Morgan announced the show had been canceled after only ten episodes.

Catherine Jensen, a recently promoted homicide detective, enlists the help of Thomas Schaeffer, a forensic psychologist, to track down serial killers and relentlessly seeks the truth behind the disappearance of her brother that she thinks is linked to his stepfather, Judge Howard Burgess.

I think this show is gritty, suspenseful, and well written

All the characters are well developed, interesting and unique.

The main actor is fantastic. She plays her character with intensity and vulnerability. I can't believe that this series was dropped by another station. I hope this keeps going for at least 5 seasons.

A real gem undiscovered by most viewers.

Ranks right up there with The Blacklist and Homeland.

Each episode is unique, taunt and exciting. Some episodes make my heart pound like a trip hammer. Give this series half a chance and it will be a real winner.

I have watched many, many true crime series and other series of crime. This one makes me feel a little depressed and dark however, I am attracted to the lead actors and the story lines. It is most dark and compelling at the same time. I am watching the second show and still do t know if I will continue. Catherine is very real but very mixed up. Cant figure out what keeps me attracted to the series but no doubt I will watch the next show. I feel sorry for her and wish I could help her. Thank God no one knows how screwed up she really is! I want to know more about her past and what makes her tick. Hope it is revealed as time goes on....

We're so glad Those Who Kill was given a second chance; never understood why it was taken off the air to begin with. We're huge fans of the Serial Killer genre and this is every bit as good as anything on TV today; especially since there's less and less to watch if you dislike "reality TV" as much as we do. The plot is twisted and a bit hard to follow at times - and Yes, some of the crime scenes border on gory - but the acting is excellent: we really feel the two main characters' inner turmoil. Likewise, the Director captures the "feel" of Pittsburgh as well as its "look" (one of us has family in Pittsburgh & is quite familiar with the City). This is refreshing since few shows other than the Law & Order franchise makes the viewer feel part of the action. (BTW, we loved Alcatraz and still don't know why it was canceled, but that was its one shortcoming in our opinion.) We hope Those Who Kill makes it this time!
