Will 'The Killing' live again?With Netflix and DirecTV around, defunct TV series may never really die. According to TVLine, both companies are exploring their options with AMC's axed series, "The Killing," which was canceled last month after its second season conclusion.
The site reports that Netflix and DirecTV are having preliminary conversations with Fox TV to examine the opportunity to revive "The Killing" for a third season. As TVLine notes, this isn't the first time Netflix or DirecTV have thought about bringing programming back from the dead. Netflix, of course, will be the home of the resurrected "Arrested Development," while DirecTV jumped in to save "Damages" and "Friday Night Lights." However, both companies may want to take note of a few of the anti-"Killing" sentiments floating around the Web. Over at Salon, Willa Paskin likens the reported attempts of Netflix and DirecTV to bring back "The Killing" to Coca Cola thinking of giving New Coke another try. Paskin asserts she'd rather see "Veronica Mars" - which, let the record state, we fully support - among other shows, brought back instead - or, better yet, for the companies to consider making something new, and of higher quality. Esquire is cautiously optimistic, pointing out all of the flaws that plagued "The Killing" for its two seasons. "[T]he sloppiness, sinking ratings, and the fact that its central mystery was (mercifully) solved - they all combine to provide absolutely no strong case for a third season." Then again, with the question of "Who Killed Rosie Larsen?" finally answered, perhaps "The Killing" could turn into "the buddy-cop drama it should've always been," the magazine adds. What do you think - should "The Killing" stay dead?

si?
II got it. It's rainy in Seattle and people are depressed. After 3 episodes I had a Noah moment and thought seriously about killing The Killing. I pulled the life support after episode 4. Rather than being a sophisticated and cerebral trip, this mess of a series looked more like a Rorscharh test of endurance. It was mindlessly boring, drab, and vacant of any personality. Cancelation of the series was not good enough, it should have been terminated.
Bury the killing once and for all cast down a deep ravenous raven along with netflix and directv all you wicked tv goons.
Hello, i think that i saw you visited my weblog thus i came to return the want?.I'm trying to in finding things to improve my web site!I suppose its ok to make use of a few of your concepts!!
I love this show. Please the same cast! Please season 3!!!!!
I loved how the first season started but the never-ending red herrings made me lose interest. Some people had issues with the writing s far as the investigation not being as smart as it could have been, but the characters and acting were great. I would definitely watch it again if they just told us a story without so much misdirection. It's cool to leave us guessing but not after every episode.
oh sorry yea bring it back with the same cast.
Please Please bring it back with same cast, best mystery I've seen in a long time!!!!!
Bring it back on NETFLIX then we can watch it as many times as we want .
BRING BACK THE KILLING ITS AWESOME
Yes!!! Bring it back with the original cast! On DirecTV PLEASE. We don't do "Netflix"....... It was awesome
Bring it back!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the show!!!
Please bring it back on DirecTV because I am not a subscriber. I hate-watched the last 3/4 of season 2 and I just know I'll waste more hours of my life on it if it comes to Netflix.
"The Killing". As in *one* killing. It was solved. Show done.
Unless it's a new cast each season/story arc that features ONE investigation into ONE main killing.
The Killing vies with The Good Wife for the best show on television. Bring it back!
Great Show. Should have been a mini-series anyway. It's not like breaking bad, where the plot can branch off in several directions. The main characters are crime solvers only loyal to getting at the truth, even if it means lying and sacrificing 'loved ones'. It smacked of 24, only with much better acting; after a while, it had to die. New season, just give them a whole new crime to solve – serial killer visits our town and FBI wants to butt in.... Heard of law and order?
Bring it back, please. Intelligent, raw, Euro-noir, and set in the great Pacific Northwest. I want more!!
Loved season 1 bu t the lack of resolution was frustrating. Because of that I just seemed to lose interest and ended up not watching any episodes of season 2. I would definitely watch a season 3 if the writers would agree not to drag the story line out. Some shows have benefited by having unresolved issues at the end of a season but The Killing wasn't one of them. There are so many stories to be told with these characters. I hope the show continues.
lol
my thoughts exactly, after about 10 "red herrings" it gets very tiring and we just want to know who the killer is and move on to another case, how long do they think they can drag this on for, keep it cancelled unless they have something new to add. it was well done in season 1, hold my interest for season 2.
Really hope they bring it back, I was hooked since the first episode, show was very good in capturing the essence of mystery. Looking forward to season 3. Bring it back.
Please bring it back- great show.
Why? What more do you possibly want to know? You know who killed the girl, and you know that the mother is a bad mother. Is there anything more to the story?
If shows like Arrested Development who were ahead of their time can come back, WHY NOT TWIN PEAKS?!! The world was not ready for it the first time around just like Arrested Development. Both shows suffered from time slot changes and network meddling which resulted in a ratings drop and cancellation! We have started a movement on Twitter and Facebook to get Twin Peaks back on ! Twin Peaks was a ten times better show than The Killing, Arrested Development, Damages etc! If any show deserves to be brought back from the dead its TWIN PEAKS!
Bring Back Twin Peaks!
https://www.facebook.com/BringBackTwinPeaksToTv
*************LIE TO ME************* , HEROES, HUNG, DEADWOOD PLUS A TON MORE THEY NEED TO BRING BACK AND GIVE A PROPER ENDING THEY PROMISED WHEN WE PUT SO MUCH TIME INTO AND GOT NO ENDING BC OF GREEDY NETWORKS.
Great Show, would love to see it come back, but must include Mireille Enos, who was awsome as Linder! Agree it was to dragged out and should have solved the Rosie case 1st season and then started a new case with 2nd season (pretty sure Linder was never going to leave to marry that guy anyway) the writing staff is Superb. Will be looking for season 3!!!!
WHY NOT TWIN PEAKS?!!
Yes, yes, yes – fantastic action. Linden and Holder were great together and the twist with the crime was amazing. All of the actors were noteworthy. It was one of the few television shows I made a point of watching. I can't believe they won't bring it back. Do the viewers only like reality shows, sitcom and run-of-the-mill cop shows. Does nobody appreciate quality writing & acting anymore? It's the same old, same old on all the time, and when they finally have something different (the River, the Killing & Missing) – they cancel them. Unbelievable!
pray for a new season!
I would love to watch Season 3. I hope someone picks up The Killing. One of the best shows I've watched.

Bring back Lost and The Killing! Both ended too soon!
If I was Sarah Palin I would stick my head in the nearest trash compactor.
if there is a new season it will explode in the ratings -
fantastic acting and i expected performances will be better then ever season 1 and 2
I'm so sick of people complaining about how upset they because the murder wasn't resolved in the first season. Boo hoo, they ended with a great cliff hanger and it was on the best acted shows on television. I'm sure these same people were praising Lost's "great" ending despite the crappy acting and the 50 unanswered questions.
Knocking one tv show to try to convince others to not hate on yours. Good strategy. I loved both The Killing and Lost. I say bring The Killing back! There is so much they can do with this show. It was a little hard to remind yourself that only a few weeks had elapsed through both seasons. I found myself getting angry at Midge in particular about here inability to cope, but then reminded myself that she had only lost her daughter a week or two ago in the show's timeline.
I so disappointed, this is the best acted show on TV. Both leads are remarkable and I was so hoping they would renew this.....
I've been following and watching this series. I like it. It has a very good story line. It must be be renewed.
I definitely say the series should be renewed. However, do not put it on esoteric independent providers coercing people to have to buy yet another service for what we already pay a fortune for.
Keep it on a standard station or network.
First off I'd like to state that I absolutely loved this show – in spite of, or maybe to a certain degree because of it's few faults. It was one of those rare shows that seem to honestly reflect real-life situations; and, I looked forward to each and every episode. I was both surprised, and quite sad, to hear that it had been cancelled.
In my opinion, the writers forgot that we live in a society of instant gratification. If we're on the road and our stomach growls we pull into a fast food restaurant; and if we're at home, we pull something out of the freezer that we can pop into our microwave... We, as a society, are not used to having to wait; and, when the storyline of "Who Killed Rosie Larson?" was not wrapped up at the end of the first season many viewers felt betrayed and stopped watching this outstanding show. Having said this, I honestly believe that a lesson was learned by the writers and if this show can find another "home" they (the writers) won't make the same mistake twice.
I love The Killing and no it should NOT stay dead at all. It should have more seasons with more stories for sure!
this happens in tv all the time. once the meetings iron out there will be a new season
i don't think they should cancel.
One of the few high quality shows with flawed characters, dark and rainy cinematography, strange plot twists and the acting is top notch. You cannot cancel this!!!
Agree with you totally. Loved everything about this show except the dragged out resolution.
I was extremely let down with the finale to The Killing's first season. It was like Lost all over again, being led on like that, so I didn't bother watching the second season. Should it have a third season? Based on the first, I would vote no.
keep me posted on the plan
after labor day....
when does the new season begin.
SPOT ON MAN
the challenges are a joke and so predictable.
i feel this show will be voted in...
can't beat the great acting...
QUALITY TV AND I WATCH IT ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THE TIME
the killing is one of the best shows on televison...
My boyfriend and I love this show also
was a great show.
bad show ... i would go for the wire myself.
we checked the wires ...
i think the wire has been delved in already
the "killing" is a great show.
It was a great show and I would even consider joining one of these two programs inorder to watch it. I had no problem with having to wait two years for a solution and that could have been solved by having a standard 20 show season instead of these mini-seasons we are getting from so many shows. I really would like to know what would happen to Linda and Holder. Will she come back? How will she deal with her son? It was a great series and am almost tempted to try and find the original series second season, I saw some of the first season and it wassimilar scene for scene.
The Killing is such a good show. Well worth the wait. Linden and Holder are such brilliant characters played by truly gifted actors. Veena Sud really put a lot of thought into every single aspect of the show. Most people gave up after season 1, but viewers who stuck with it were rewarded in the end!
This is one of the rare programs that really is "Good TV". I thought I was watching one of the many well-produced and acted British programs until I realized that this was made in North America. Leave the money-hungry, no-talent reality programming brats to their own devices, and let the actors who actually know how to act, entertain us.
It is sad that a well crafted drama with a constantly evolving story line cannot continue. One of the charms of this series was that each week you were left with a twist to bring you back the next week. No "Law and Order" pacing
(see crime, solve crime, prosecute crime in one hour) for this dark storyline. The writers of "The Killing" created
multi-layered characters and a story that engaged ones thought process instead of just filling time between commercials.
Was fascinated by this show. Real people, real flaws, not solved in one hour, each unsolved mystery took entire season and only solved due to tenacity of the main characters. There are no beautifully coiffed, perfect people in this show. Only originally written, excellently performed, intelligent, resourceful individuals who believe in the parts they are playing. Do bring back, resolve all lose ends, not asking for "happy ending" but a real life solving of characters' lives and mystery.
I hadn't been hooked on a TV show in many years, until i stumbled upon The Killing in the middle of season . Beautifully acted, perfectly paced, and the very "flaws" that drew the wrath of small-brained critics made it the best show on TV for 2 years. Bring it back.
My husband and I loved the show. Holder and Linden are great, original characters. the acting is wonderful. We love the idea of one case per season – or Linden and Holder as focus. Just bring it back!
Great show – great acting, plot twists, original, better than reality crap on tv, please bring it back!
YES! Please bring this show back. The Killing is like a breath of fresh air. Excellent actors, scripts and locale. Deftly shot. There is a following.
I wish someone would resurrect "Firefly". Although without Joss Whedon, it would s uck, and he's said he isn't interested. Da mn.
For me, a GREAT series. Great acting, great actors, great filming, great stories. Please bring it back.
For me, a terrific series. Great actors, great acting, interesting plot(s). Please do more.
I think the United Stats should offficiallly declare cultural bankruptcy and move on from recycling 50s cartooon shows, 60s siycoms and various other garbage from the last 50 years and make a fresh start- I don't mind puttting up with some growing pains as we sturggle to find an artistic voice. It's bound to be bettter than THe FLinstones Unpluggged
Love this show. So much better than the stuff on network tv. Please bring it back.
Very good show. Bring it back and delve further into the city corruption much like the old HBO classic "the Wire."
BRING IT BACK PLEASE!!!!
Great show – fantastic acting – 2nd only (for me) to Justified which thankfully IS returning. Not sure what they would do w/ show designed originally to solve only one killing, BUT something w/ that skilled cast, writers, etc. should be possible?
Bring it back!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back The Killing. It is an amazing show with great acting. I have been hooked for two seasons and was very disappointing to read that it will not be continued. I am a hard core fan, will do anything to make it come back. Anything 😉
My Wife and I loved this show and are pretty disappointed that it will not be coming back for a third season. We would love to see the show grow from the original murder mystery into something else... fingers crossedx
I quit watching after the first season...the last few episodes just dragged on and on....booooring...I ended up not caring about any of the characters nor who killed the Larson girl...good riddance...
"The Killing" is done, case is solved. Bring back "Jericho"!
+1 for bringing back The Killing and Rubicon!
I second that motion! The Killing was great, and so was Rubicon - I wish the loose ends had been tied up on Rubicon before it was cancelled.
I enjoyed the show very much. Hopefully, Netflix can bring it back.
Bring back The Killing AND Veronica Mars! And Rubicon. Oh…and Terriers. And while the studios are at it, dump all the cheap-to-produce trashy, disposable "reality" shows and focus on drama with exciting storytelling and compelling characters. It's not all about audience share. It takes time to build an audience, and there is real value in prestige programming. It is a business, but think long term: licensing, residuals, syndication, digital sales, overseas revenue streams, etc.
The people that make decisions about shows that should be renewed have no clue of what the public likes. Loved this show and the acting was Superb. It seems like they could renew each season with a new storyline that could be developed for that specific season.
Yes, bring back the show. One of the few quality drama shows around.
i love the danish original more the the remake!
Loved The Killing – great show, looked forward to it every week. Actors perfect In displaying this realistic story. Hope this series continues, it's one of the best.
Yes, bring it back. It had great chemistry among the actors. It was TV at its best. One crime mystery per season would have saved this show. They stretched Rosie's killing out a bit too far. Likewise, bring back Rubicon!
Bring back "The Killing" for sure, another AMC blunder was cancelling "Rubicon". I will never start watching a AMC series, these people obviously have no clue about keeping or discarding shows, the above 2 blundered decisions.
Are you serious? AMC has the best shows on tv. The Killing and Rubicon were weak compared to their other programs. Hell on Wheels, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, The Walking Dead, have all been better quality and more well received by audiences. If the show doesn't get ratings don't blame the network. People weren't into those shows, let them stay dead. I think the big mistake with the killing was dragging the case on and on and on. They would have been better served to have cases that they would try to solve over a 3-5 episode arc. That way they could focus on the case, family struggles, personal problems etc, without boring the audience with filler episodes in order to drag things out to seasons' end. They screwed up. Show is dead,
it will make a 3rd season..its quality tv
no tv=roll in hay
Bring back Perfect strangers! Standing tall...
Loved watching this each week. Loved the characters and the atmosphere of the show. I would be elated if they brought it back.
thought the story line was great. would never have guessed this ending. would love to see it back.
This is one of the finest ensemble casts on tv. Beyond the 'Rosie killing' plot was an ambitious and cynical look at politics, questions about the real purpose of setting aside land for Indian reservations and one hell of a back story on Linden's life not to mention the police department corruption, competence, etc. The last scene with the new mayor freezing out his former lover and loyal aide to meet with all the worst officials from the two year series run was nothing short of stunning. Maybe, it's too smart for America's reality and celebrity competion based trashy tv.
No, it should not stay dead. It should be reborn. I thought it was a quality well written show with great acting. I loved the chemistry between the two detectives. This show was much better than most of the crap on network TV especially "reality" and celebrity related anything. It was great to have a very good dramatic show to get caught up in. My husband and both loved it and it is rare for us to like the same kind of show.
Yes! Of course bring it back. It's a fabulous program and a nice alternative to what seems to be a wasteland of "reality" shows which by the way don't represent the reality of anyone I know. If people don't like it they don't have to watch it. "The Killing" was quality TV. Please, bring it back!\
Please bring back Jericho!
Yes, what he said about Jericho. How come good TV always loses out to bad TV? I don't give a crap about the Kardasians or however you spell it or any of the other people you think we are all so interested in. Did it ever occur to you that the only reason "reality" TV is so popular is because you have created a situation in which there is nothing else to watch? Huh???
Bring back this show! LOVE IT! So sorry it was cancelled!!!!
I loved the first season on "The Killing". Was extremely disappointed in the 2nd but would like to see it given another chance with the same cast but different Director and better writers.
It was the one show my teenage son and I looked forward to each week. Not a lot of flash but good solid story and characters. It was refreshing to not have all the glitz and crap from other shows.
Each season can deal with a theme, while still developing the characters lives as well.
I enjoyed this show. It was understated and kept you interested in all the various players still potentially involved in the crime. Not enough flash and dazzle for most ADD viewers I imagine which is why we end up with so much junk TV.
Spot on...I loved the series and hope it finds a home!!
The Killing was decent – I think it would have made abetter mini-series than a full blown episodic drama. Also it would have been better on HBO or Showtime. Speaking of HBO – Bring back Deadwood!
I loved the series and the concept – devoting entire seasons to the investigation of one murder. If they brought The Killing back and spent each season solving one crime, the series could go on indefinitely. Yes, bring it back.
Both seasons definitely left a lot of options for a plot! Linden's shady ex fiance that disappeared after the first few episodes... The body found at SeaTac at the end of the last episode. The killing that haunted Linden's career...
Definitely bring the series back. It was awesome. Brilliant acting, brilliant writing. I couldn't not watch it.
LOVED this show – everything about it was great – truly sad now that its off the air – please bring it back- have the same Holder and Linden back for a new case every season – comeon man!! One of the best crime dramas on TV in a long long time among so many that should have been cancelled.
This is a quality show. Anyone who doesn't recognize that should not be allowed to have any influence over programming.
waiting is the best part...as soon as producers negotiate results will rise through the roof. i think there will be a 3d season. good luck!
Keep the show to 1 Case Per Season!! Keep following Linden, Holder, and a few politicians and this show may have a chance to come back strong. Season 2 (especially the finale episode) was incredibly disappointing after waiting so much time!! Get away from the Rosie case, it's boring and drawn out at this point!
Great show!
LOVED this show and hunting down the season 2 DVD to re-watch it! American TV is such a waste-land!
Loved the show. I would subscribe to NetFlix just for the show in the same way I do now for HBO/Showtime for specific shows.
My wife would do the same for Veronica Mars. 🙂
i love this show its well written and hope there is a 3rd season.
"due" time for this masterpiece of class.
they love to hate each other..you know that means ... due diligence.
Love this show... DEFINITELY bring it back please!
With all the crap thaT IS UNBELIEVABLE RENEWED.....The Killing was acted well & regardless of spilling the same plot min to a second year....welll....do the right thing & bring it back!!!!!!!!
It was a great series. I hope it comes back, because I thought the ending was quite a surprise twist, and it fit the story perfectly. PLEASE bring it back!
I really hope this show stays on. Kickass show stupid writer.
Please bring back my favorite show! I dont have DIRECT TY, but will find a way to watch it if it is brought back. Compelling characters, moody atmosphere. I had none of the problems with the show I heard other people complaining about, it was always must watch TV for me! Please please bring Linden and Holder back!
The Killing would have been great is they resolved the Rosie case in Season 1 – and then found a way to develop a second season with a new plot. But, by dragging the Rosie case into Season 2, if became a slightly above average show.
It does reflect Scandinavian Angst. Sometimes the show feels as if it were made by Ingmar Bergman (that is, if Bergman were to make a mystery movie), and sometimes like a Saturday Night Live parody of the same. But with all its flaws, I would still watch it
Do not kill The Killing.Great story, great acting. BRING IT BACK.
AMEN!
We watched the first season on Netflix and became addicted. This is a great show and all that is needed is another murder to solve. But at least do this in a season! Too much reality tv and junk out there. Very few shows worth my time. This show is totally worth the time.
The best show in a long time. I looked forward to watching it every week just wondering what would happen next. PLEASE,PLEASE bring it back!
'Best show in a long time'? I thought it was ok. I watched in its entirety. There are much better shows. On the same network: Breaking Bad, Walking Dead. The Wire was better. Just my opinion.
GREAT SHOW! BRING IT BACK!!
has to be discussed and talks need to be quiet before cutting a deal.
I loved this show – there are 500 cop buddy-buddy dramas out there which neatly wrap up in an hour. This was one with the real intrigue that can only come from investing in a mystery. But of course, in our instant gratification world – let's do a 10th Law & Order or CSI instead
Not the Killing it was done, but Netflix could bring back Ringer
I I concur. The Ringer was/is an excellent, albeit guilty pleasure, show and deserves a revival.
hanging scripts are private and must be discussed in private meetings.
This was such a great show. For all of the idiots who missed out on Season 2 just because they were denied a wrapped up ending for Season 1, you were fools. This is one of our favorite shows and really hope that Direct TV picks it up. I love what they have done with Damages!
Ditto on KL post from yesterday–great show, cast & script. Need a "keep us hanging" script from the get go. Ax the crappy reality shows–I realize lots of folks watch this crap but to keep coming up with more–oh hey they need their own network–put them all in one place.
let see...doing it dirty all night or this show...you do the math
lets see this show or s-x with a good looking person....you pick
gee mom where is my stake.
loved the show, please bring it back, better than watching those stupid reality shows that are staged . I also like the actors and story line.
gee mom where is wolf my doll?
gee mom where is wolf doll?
I'd like to see them make a feature film if not bring the the show itself for another season. I think they could make a good movie for the big screen.
gee grandpa...where is spider pop.
Hilary Clinton should be President!
Great show!
We are all proud of Jay Berkman and his fight against evil Madoff.
Buzzy Wilson moves at Warp Spreed!
We love da show!
I don't understand this network shift to reality shows. What happened to all of the interesting sci-fi dramas on TV? Are networks just becoming more stingy with their money? It's like a memo came from on high that henceforth the only new shows we will bankroll will be low-budget reality shows (that are uniformly crap).
The show was one season too long already. Started great, ended painfully slow.
Good show, for the first season. But it tried to keep too many plates spinning, just filling time to the conclusion, and became just another drawn-out soap opera. A shame, really.
Loved this show. So sorry to see it was cancelled for what.......small town security???.......Good call AMC. Glad to hear it may be back.
crappy show and cast.
I I'm sure Edwina meant to post her profound thought on the 2 Broke Girls article comments section.
Excellent & compelling-I don't have tv- just Netflix-shocked to hear it was at "risk"
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING IT BACK – THE ONLY DESCENT SHOW ON TV OVER 200 STATIONS AND EVERYTHING SUCKS ENOUGH WITH THE REALITY AND THE SHOWS SHOWING MAKING MEN LOOK STUPID.
LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT IT WAS AN AMAZING SHOW!
Yes, please! An underrated drama.
i read novels all the time, however night time is you know what time for me
Throughly enjoyed this show, so sorry to see it cancelled, but agree it should be one crime per season. I think the show is riveting and some of the best real life drama, showing all aspects of emotion that effect all involved. Please bring it back! To me it was like reading a novel.
I enjoyed the show as well.
its all boring i'd rather be with my man.
IIs that you Clay Aiken?
can't wait for new season
I loved the show and couldn't wait to see it every week.
It's better than some of the crap on TV, I liked the characters – they were different, really some of the reality shows that are on, they are horrible, at least you couldn't figure out the plot. Gator Boys, Storage Wars, Auction Kings, what a waste of time. And we pay for it.
I would never recommend this show to anyone.
the writing is all poor yet monitored at all times. its called the twisting game
scripts are awful.
the show is a piece of sh-t ...
The Killing was thoroughly enjoyable. The writing was smart, the characters (especially Linden & Holder) were interesting to watch. The Killing is not like any other cop show on network tv (thank goodness). In the world of classless reality tv and Law & Order where each crime is solved in one episode, The Killing was worth watching. Hope to see a 3rd season.
show stinks.
Horrible execution of a tv series. It had great hope but they it became a case of the red herring of the week. Every week a new suspect came forward, and by the next week they were ruled out. The horrible ending to the first season left me empty and I never came back. Please leave this dead, it isn't worth coming back.
Killing is one the most well written and acted series in a long time. Unfortunatelly, in this instant gratifications culture that we live in, thses kind of shows dont have much of chance of survival. Why watch Killing when there are all those trashy and cheap reality shows?
I would love to see a new season! However, that said, they need to do one crime per season, not carry it over. I didn't mind that so much, but you forget what is going on during the break. I love the chemistry between the two cops and there is more back story to each of them that can be explored. I am getting tired of SVU and I like the feel of The Killing. I hope it does come back. It was a quality show and could still be....
I enjoyed everything about this ... 2nd season was the best.
Watched the original scandinavian version and found this interesting until the final episode of the first series. That finale left me very dissapointed. Maybe the brilliant, original version distorted my expectations.
I hope it does come back. I enjoyed every minute of the two seasons. Well acted, written. Linden & Holder are wonderful. All aspects came together to give us quality television.
I think that The Killing is one of the best dramas on TV. And the series should be alive.
Netflix that bring back Arrested Development to us is my hero 🙂 I hope, It save The Killing as well. Also, quality level of The Killing should remain same.
BRING BACK TWIN PEAKS !! TEN TIMES BETTER THAN ALL OF THOSE SHOWS! IF ANY SHOW DESERVES TO BE RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD, ITS TWIN PEAKS !
This was a great tv show in a wasteland. The cast and gritty script and scenery deserve to live again. The challenge is can they come up with a compelling, more concise storyline that will grip its initial audience.
