[TV] The Killing returns today

One of my favorite shows of the last 10 years.

I really like the writing, directing, acting and camera work...so pretty much everything about it. You'd think a cop show that takes 2 seasons to solve one crime would be boring, but somehow, it's incredibly suspenseful.

 

Did it actually get good? I watched the first season, and after going through a full season of red herrings and goose chases, I gave up. I was gonna give season two a chance but I heard that the mayor was innocent early in season two, basically making season one pointless.

 

I loved this show, but will point out the 2 seasons to solve the first crime WAS A BAD IDEA. Season 3, imo, was better than Season 1/2, because of that.

 

Same here. Last season started out well and then by the last two or three episodes It just made me irritated.
It's an ok show. I don't feel the writing or acting are that special(well I guess except for Mireille and Kinnaman). If I had to grade the series, I'd give it a C+.

 

For me its a good filler show not a binge watch. But still a good show.

 

The thread title will be a filthy lie in a few hours.

 

It's a good enough show. I binge watched the first 3 seasons in about a week and a half recently. I don't think the leads show much depth, particularly Holder, but that's alright. Rosie's family dynamics annoyed me. The 3rd season was above and beyond the best due to Peter Sarsgaard. The cinematography in this show is shaky at times--some camera angles make absolutely no sense.

I'd give the show overall a B, with the 3rd season carrying the weight (a bobloblaw A rating) and making up for 2 weak but entertaining seasons.

 

He's saying that the thread title should not expire in one day. He means that it will be a lie tomorrow when someone reads the thread and assumes the show premiered tomorrow. A better title would have been a generic, "[TV] The Killing Season 4" or "Season 4 Premieres" or some such.

 

Eh, not sure why I'm butting in but since it was unclear...

At midnight, in 4 hours and 38 minutes, the thread title will still read "[TV] The Killing returns today" but the show will have actually premiered what will, at that time, be yesterday.

 

I'm half way through season 4, if they finish it right, this is easily the best season.

 

Key words.

 

When the first season finally hit Netflix, I binge watched in a few days. I thought it was REALLY good until (like you guys) they didn't solve the case in that season.

I lost faith after that.

So, instead of watching season 2, I stuck with reading the episode synopsis and skipped to season 3. That's where my enjoyment of this series came back.

Season 4, I knew what was going to ultimately end up happening, but I can't really decide if I liked the ending or not. I loved the rest of the season, I'm just not sure about the end.

 

I just finished up season 3. It was OK. Same slow story with good execution. It was enough to make me want to watch season 4.
