THE KILLING Is Dead. Again.
R.I.P. The Killing.
AMC has officially canned the series, which just finished an unlikely third season this summer.
Now if you’re like me, you might have found The Killing‘s first season to be riveting. The the second season rolled around and you realized that the whole Rosie Larsen thing wasn’t going to be wrapped up until the end. And then the killer reveal was just plain terrible.
That second season soured enough of the audience to get the show canceled. But AMC, Fox and Netflix hatched a scheme to bring the show back for a third season, which gave them a chance to make up for the sins of the past (dragging out the mystery for 10-episodes more than necessary).
Well, it didn’t work. The audience ticked up and the reviews were more favorable, but it never reached season one levels.
Me, I didn’t even watch the third season. I may catch it on Netflix someday, but until then, I’m just going to wait for HBO’s True Detective, which looks like it’ll be everything The Killing should have been.
