5.0 out of 5 stars Forget the Critics! The Killing is amazing! June 18, 2012

By Jen

This show is phenomenal. Unfortunately alot of critics complain that the show is very slow-paced, or not moving quickly enough. But literally each episode covers one day. This show is supposed to mirror real-life, everyday emotions and movement through a murder case, and it does just that and more. I, like the previous reviewer, appreciate the fact that this show avoids the common theme: "sex sells." I love that this show makes you think, and draws you in with its beautiful imagery (the way the camera is used) and acting. This show is very well-casted all around, specifically members of the Larsen family and Detective Linden and Holder. The emotions of the Larsen family throughout the course of this show is just so real and raw.

The season finale of The Killing, definitely answers "Who killed Rosie Larsen?" I think that the answer to this question was surprising and definitely left me in a daze. There were so many twists and turns in this episode, and you really see certain characters change, or unleash a part of themselves that was previously hidden. Another thing that critics complained about was that they felt as though they still did not know who Rosie Larsen was a person. I admit that we did not get a great overall sense of who Rosie Larsen was, but one, that is not the premise of the show, or what the show set out to answer; and two, the little we did know about Rosie was well-crafted--people were drawn to her. And I find it amazing that one teenage girl changed the lives and situations of people forever. I feel as though the season finale of The Killing was amazing, and hopefully this show gets a well deserved season 3!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly enjoyable! June 18, 2012

I found both series 1 and 2 utterly enthralling. The plot kept me guessing and looking forward to the next episode. But above all it was the acting that impressed me the most. Each character was well-drawn and thoughtfully played. The slower pace allowed the development of more-rounded characters than usually seen in detective series. The story was propelled, more often than not, by gestures and silences. I think it takes strong ensemble acting to achieve that, and this group really seemed to have it!. If Sarah Linden and Holder come back in another series - I will not be disappointed!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally addictive & riveting series. April 11, 2012

By Donna Smith

This episode doesn't disappoint, but then I haven't found an episode that didn't leave me analyzing, reflecting and begging for more. I never dreamed that a show involving a single homicide could take such a multitude of diverse paths and story lines while stimulating a viewers intellect and challenging ones' cognitive thinking process. All of this coming from a cable network channel. A sincere thank you & a true entertainment bravo to all involved with writing/production/direction, etc. Linden & Holder's characters have me completely involved in each development and loving every directional twist that continues to arise!
