A few years ago there was a series on AMC and later on Netflix called, "The Killing." It was a dark, creepy, and sometimes sinister police drama set in the Pacific Northwest.

From the looks of this new show, "Bellevue," that begins on January 23rd on WGN America, this might be the second coming. And I LOVED the first show.

Like "The Killing," this show revolves around a very flawed female cop played by Anna Paquin (pictured above). Here's the official synopsis and trailer:

"The gripping and eerie original series is set against the backdrop of a small town with big secrets. Twenty years ago, the murder of a young woman traumatized the community of “Bellevue.” Now, the killer is back. Or is he/she? When a high school hockey star, who is wrestling with his gender identity, goes missing and all signs point to foul play, Detective Annie Ryder (Anna Paquin) must unravel all the pieces to this gripping mystery before her own life falls apart. As the case pulls her further away from her family, she is also confronted by a mysterious person from her past with disturbing answers to lingering questions and a terrifying need to play mind games. Along the way, Annie must navigate a complicated relationship with her on again, off again ex, Eddie (Allen Leech) and her boss on the force, Chief Peter Welland (Shawn Doyle)."
