The Killing

DNF

Season 1 was good, spoiled who did it by accident tho for season 2

First two seasons were really engaging, kept me interested. As we went into the third and fourth seasons, it sometimes felt rushed or unfulfilling. I believe the issue here is that they spent two full seasons on working through one murder, wherein a lot of effort and storytelling was dedicated. Then, we tried to keep up with that success but couldn’t come up with a story that hit the same way. Unfortunate.

I also really hated the path they took with Linden. I loved Holder generally from start to finish. The writers seemed indecisive about whether they wanted a romantic connection between the two, and as a result, we got this weird lukewarm open-ended situation because, oops, the show got canceled and now we have to try to wrap things up in a way that feels final. Started strong, ended flat.

7/10
