Episode 5 spoilers:

Best episode of the season and there are glimpses to what the reviews mentioned before the season started. I don't think it's a coincidence that the best episode so far had a minimal presence of Ms. Nacht.
 
New episode tonight:
Eye of the Deep

Sonya and Hank discover the depth of the crimes against Eva; Marco confronts an old nemesis; Frye receives a proposition from the DEA; Fausto gets his revenge.

That turned out differently than I expected. Instead of Marco going into the jail, I thought they would be taking David out of it to be killed. I welcome that decision to twist it around like that. Also, I'm happy that Sonya arrived when she did so that the lawyer wasn't kidnapped and delay the movement on identifying the dirty cops across the border.
 
Wow, last week's episode was great.

Here is my theory about the guy that Sonja is sleeping with:

I think this guy actually killed her sister, and the bigger brother went there to stop him, and somehow Sonja saw him, and shot him, and the actual killer, the one who she is now sleeping with, killed her sister!

Am I crazy, or does that hold water??

Well, it was Hank that shot Jim Dobbs, and I don't think they ever specified how he got turned on to him as a suspect. I don't think there was ever anything said about Sonya fingering him or knowing anything for that matter. She was just the one to ID her sister's body for Hank and the police.

Oh damn.. I dont know how I forgot that detail about who shot Jim....

Well, ok, throw my theory out the window.

Was there any implication that there was foul play when Hank shot Dobbs, or did Hank go to therapy solely because he was having problems dealing with leaving Dobbs incapacitated and the fact that Sonya never really got closure and he felt somewhat responsible for that?

Regarding the brother, I assumed he was gathering evidence against Hank(?) by stealing those pictures from Sonya, but maybe I'm reading that wrong. He's certainly up to something.

What evidence can you gather from drawings that look like a child drew them? Also, the drawings, as far as I can tell, really do not have any telling features to them that would offer evidence against Hank.

Evidence is probably the wrong word - I doubt he could or would use them in a legal sense. There was just something deliberate about the way he was grabbing them. *shrugs*

Hank implied that he may not have been acting in self-defense in shooting Dobbs.

“Everybody has that one case that costs…This one was a girl. 18 years old. Found in a ditch. she’d been raped and beaten, and–what this guy did to her was. Anyway, I caught the case. And mother was out of the picture, father was missing in action. So the girl’s little sister came to ID the body. She was 15 years old, having to do that,” Hank remembers. “There’s a truck driver, name was Jim Dobbs, looked really good for it…If you read the report, it will say he reached for a gun on the nightstand. Reports are funny things…Now he’s got three hots and a cot courtesy of the state. Of course he doesn’t know what day it is…I sent myself to the shrink…I was troubled by what I did to the little sister. I took away any hope she had of getting answers.”

I'm not sure what the brother is up to. That's baffling me so far. For a moment I thought he may have been trying to glean information out of the drawings, like his brother may have left clues to something, but I'm not sure this is the kind of show to do that.
 
New episode tonight:
Harvest of Souls

Eva's case hits a wall putting Marco and Sonya in the cross hairs; Jack Dobbs digs up his past; Frye makes a career move; Eva takes matters into her own hands.

This is getting pretty interesting now, but they seriously need to kill off the guy that
Sonya is sleeping with. It's not because her attraction to him is bizarre (it is), but he's boring as fuck, and they have enough interesting plotlines going on.
 
I was disappointed that they got a hold of the prosecutor and then killed him. Thankfully before his was betrayed he used the Xbone as a good hiding spot for the document. And damn, Marco got his hands really dirty tonight.
 
Huh, so my initial thought was right. Brother Dobbs was getting clues to something from the drawings... although I wonder if a corpse was what he expected to find.

Is my memory fuzzy or did the police already know about Red Ridge? Was that not where they found the car driving in circles back in the premiere? I was thinking the real estate guy had been killed too, but I guess not. Now that whole opening to the season is confused in my mind.
 
I feel like I only know about 70% of what's happening, because I loose track at the start of the show. Then towards the end I really tune in, because that's when all the action happens.

Damn FX and their slow formula.

Chip (or what ever his name is) was the real estate guy. He apparently came to the police to tell them he had toured around Nacht and her bodyguard. The Red Ridge real estate project is different from the house where she killed her bodyguard though. That was just a lonely house, this Red Ridge thing is a complete neighbourhood already filled with houses to show people. Like where Micheal Bluth lived in Arrested Development :P

Huh, ok, thanks. I really must have conflated that house with the real estate stuff in my head.
 
I feel like the impact of the murders that took place in this episode were diminished due to the over the top actions of Eleanor earlier this season. I feel like I should have been like "Holy shit, Marco just capped those two dudes!" but instead it didn't phase me at all. Ditto the scene where Eva hacked the corrupt cop up with the axe.
 
I really enjoyed the Scandinavian version, and I was wondering if this is worth a watch.

Is the plot more or less exactly the same as the Scandinavia version, or is it only the premise that is the same? Can I watch this without being "spoiled".

In example the killing season 3-4 (american) differs from the Scandinavian season 2-3 (only 3 season total, but american season 1&2 equaled Scandinavian season 1)

Season 1 mirrors the Scandinavian plot, after that it's no longer taking it's cues from the original show.
 
AlterOdin said:
Ok, thx :) probably get in to season 2.

Don't skip the first one. Even though you know the plot there are some differences and of course you probably won't get certain interactions between characters because you don't know their history from the first season. It's good TV.
