In January 2012, the
A&E
television channel announced that it had bought the rights to develop a U.S. version of the Danish series,
Those Who Kill
.
[5]
A
pilot episode
began filming in
Pittsburgh
in December 2012, produced by
Fox 21
and written by
Glen Morgan
, with
Chloe Sevigny
starring as
Pittsburgh Police
homicide detective Catherine Jensen, and
James D'Arcy
as forensic psychologist Thomas Schaeffer.
[6]
In April 2013, A&E announced that it had
greenlit
a 10-episode first season of the series, which would begin production in Pittsburgh in late 2013.
[7]
Drawn to the region due to
state tax credits
, filming lasted from September to December 2013. Producers selected locations such as warehouses, parking garages, pubs, hospitals, theaters, penitentiaries, the
Allegheny County Courthouse
,
Riverview Park
, the
Carnegie Free Library of Allegheny
, and the abandoned
Carrie Furnace
to capture the mood of the series.
[8]
Reception
[
edit
]
Those Who Kill
received mixed reviews. It received 54/100 score from 22 reviews at
Metacritic
.
[9]
Review aggregator
Rotten Tomatoes
reports that seven out of 24 critics gave the series a "rotten" rating. The site's consensus is, "In spite of its suspenseful premise and an effective performance by
Chloe Sevigny
,
Those Who Kill
is bogged down by monotonous plots and senseless violence."
[10]
The series debuted on March 3, 2014, with 1.4 million total viewers, and drew 830,000 viewers for its second episode. A&E then pulled the drama from its schedule, with plans to relaunch it in a new time slot.
[11]
Instead, the series was shifted to A&E's sister network, the Lifetime Movie Network, for a re-launch.
