How accurate do you feel the AMC tv series "The Killing" is? Does it depict the Seattle area accurately?

Never heard of it. Must not be very popular.

It's been on for four seasons and is quite popular. Of course it doesn't compete with what most Americans watch, Duck Dynasty and Hollywood Housewives.

It does a good job of depicting what Vancouver BC would look like if they were to rename all their neighborhoods to Seattle ones and experienced frequent monsoon-type rainfall.

Hemlock- You and I are old farts. I can barely tell you any music that came after Joni Mitchell. I've only heard of The Killing because my son in law is a writer on the show. It's a highly acclaimed show that isn't super duper popular.

The Killing is a fantastic show, but I agree with BATCAT, it doesn't really depict Seattle very well.

I'm the tail end of Gen X: Who's Joni Mitchell?

But I'm not a Millennial either: What's The Killing about?

"A little behind here but it's worth mentioning The Killing, which takes place in a Seattle where it rains every single minute of every single day, is back on your TV The much-maligned show is rebooting by starting fresh with a completely new mystery. One thing that did return from the previous two seasons is the show's delightful way of incorporating local Seattle neighborhoods and locations in fun and/or silly ways. You might remember previous mentions of "Green Lake Mosque" and a bridge on a map of North Seattle that looked a heckuva lot like Deception Pass all the way up on Whidbey Island. So far in Season 3 we've been introduced to "Vashon Marina" and look forward to playing the Made-Up Seattle Place Drinking Game with the show for the rest of the season."

Is it really made up? Or is it more true than people realize? Seems like the ideal fictional setting for mass murderers and twisted police.
