Production

In January 2012, A&E bought the rights to develop a U.S. version of the Danish series. A pilot filmed in Pittsburgh in December 2012, produced by Fox 21 and written by Glen Morgan, starred Chloë Sevigny as Detective Catherine Jensen and James D'Arcy as forensic psychologist Thomas Schaeffer. A 10-episode season was greenlit in April 2013, filming from September to December 2013 in Pittsburgh, drawn by state tax credits. Locations included warehouses, parking garages, pubs, hospitals, theaters, penitentiaries, the Allegheny County Courthouse, Riverview Park, the Carnegie Free Library of Allegheny, and the abandoned Carrie Furnace.

Reception

Those Who Kill received mixed reviews, scoring 54 out of 100 from 22 reviews on Metacritic. On Rotten Tomatoes, seven of 24 critics gave the series a "rotten" rating, with the site's consensus noting that despite a suspenseful premise and an effective performance by Chloë Sevigny, the series was bogged down by monotonous plots and senseless violence. The debut drew 1.4 million viewers, but the second episode had 830,000 viewers, after which A&E pulled the drama from its schedule and later shifted it to the Lifetime Movie Network.
