We’re onto the fourth and final quarter-final today, which sees Denmark’s The Killing (which breezed through the group stages) take on Scotland’s Shetland. Shetland edged out Wales’ Hinterland for a place in the quarters, and now it has to step up its game even further to try and dislodge one of the favourites. Can it…
The Killing Times’ Euro 2016 Of Crime Drama: QUARTER-FINAL 3: Trapped (Iceland) v Happy Valley (England)
Today sees the third and penultimate quarter-final and it looks like it’ll be a cracker – Iceland’s Trapped take on England’s Happy Valley. Happy Valley is one of the seeded teams, but Trapped burst onto the scene earlier this year and qualified handsomely. It beat out The Fall in the group stages, and now takes…

It’s time for the second quarter-final, which sees one of the tournament favourites, Sweden’s The Bridge, take on surprise team of the tournament, The Lens from the Czech Republic.

The Killing Times’ Euro Crime Drama Of 2016: Hinterland (Wales) v Cenk Batu (Germany)
It’s the final game in Group B today, and it features Wales’ representatives Hinterland, who have had a disappointing tournament, it has to be said, beaten to the second qualifying spot in the group by Scotland’s Shetland. Still, there’s pride at stake here as they take on the Germans, Cenk Batu, who remain winless.
The Killing Times’ Euro 2016 Of Crime Drama: Trapped (Iceland) v The Fall (Northern Ireland)
We’re starting the last round of group matches today (hurrah!) and to kick off there’s a huge game in Group A, which will decide who goes into the quarter-finals.

The Killing Times’ Euro 2016 Of Crime Drama: The Killing (Denmark) v Falcón (Spain)
We’re enjoying Danish drama Dicte over on More4 at the moment, and if The Killing hadn’t happened Dicte surely would have been Denmark’s representative in this tournament. Alas, it’s the wily old favourite, The Killing, that’s here and currently doing very well. It has already qualified for the quarter-final, but will be wanting to put…
