Almost a third of the Danish population watched the first episode of the crime-series THOSE WHO KILL, when it premiered last Sunday evening, March 13th, on the Danish broadcasting channel TV2. It was moreover estimated by the audience on a scale from 1 to 5, giving it a rating of 4.1. Encapsulating a total national share of 53 %, the segment of 21-50-year-old’s was representing 50 %, a record-high number in Danish TV-history.
THOSE WHO KILL has also not only commercially won the hearts of the Danish population. Also the critics, covering both tabloid and culturally intellectual newspapers, have embraced the series, giving it 6 out of 6 and 5 our 6 amongst others and with review-wordings such as “This is powerful no-nonse entertainment, sharply directed by an efficient director and very accessible – that is, IF you have the guts to watch it!” (BT, Kirsten Erlendsson)
Written by bestselling crime-author Elsebeth Egholm and writer of several award-winning and critically acclaimed features and TV-series, Stefan Jaworski, THOSE WHO KILL is a high quality crime series about a violent criminal, who is surrounded by fear and mystique; the serial killer.

Receiving these figures from TV2 Denmark only makes me even more confident that we have a strong series with great international sales potential. Well done Miso Film, we can´t wait for season II”
