Review of Those Who Kill

Remember when A&E was a Crime dramas, and old movies channel that only your grandparents could afford? Then it became a hole for reruns, and censored crap. Now this past couple of years there have been some real original shows from them. This one here is not really original, but it sure is good. Chloë Sevigny tries really hard, and you get that she is afraid and broken, but that she is not just going to take it ever again. Her character needs to feel power; she is suffering from PTSD and the first case of this series brings things back up for her. This is a really good show though like I said and as the dynamic of the scholar, and the detective is built upon it will only get stronger. From the start it just feels like a cheap rip off of The Killing, and no one could have been happier than I was when it stopped being that, and became more like Criminal Minds, a less PG The Mentalist (think Perception with more balls) the writers are not afraid to start a long arc from the looks of things. With the addition of an Ichabod Crane looking character played by James D'Arcy the Scholar has his own demons, and is far more developed than some other characters like him on other shows. I recommend this show completely, don't be too worried about being disturbed by this show though it is still A&E, they just let some swears, and side boob show. I Enjoyed this a lot though, and think it will be a big hit.
