User reviews Review. Top review. A hidden gem. I am writing this after the first season finale, and I came to this without expecting much and what a shocking pleasant surprise it was and absolute gem of a thriller. I rarely give a rating of 10, there would always be some part that would be missing and something goes wrong in any department, nothing ever went wrong with this.
The whole first season is one murder case, so you can expect some slow pace, and slow pace doesn't always mean a drag, and "The Killing" is the best example for that, the pace is deliberately set to slow, to let all emotions, settings to sink in, the show gives you very subtle clues and you would swear that know who killed "Rosie Larsen" and think it is your idea, which is most often first proved right then wrong : The acting, direction, screenplay, music a absolute top notch, a lessen that other crime thrillers CSI, Criminal Minds, Suspect Behavior et.
If you haven't watch it yet you are missing an epic. FAQ What is The Killing based on? Is this based on Twin Peaks? After some exchange of dialogue — spoken while the two were standing way too close to each other — that would have been more suitable to a Katherine Heigl rom-com, Linden decides to stay in Seattle and gulp! Not only does that weirdly happy ending not strike the same tone as the rest of the series, but it makes no sense; the two of them trusted each other as friends and police partners.
There was never any indication that there were any romantic feelings between the two of them. How could there have been? Linden was busy scowling behind baggy sweaters and Holder was barely keeping his sobriety intact. The idea that the two of them might start a relationship seemed more disgusting than all the blood that was sprayed around the blindingly-white house where the Stansburys were murdered.
The thought of the two of them kissing felt weirder than watching your parents hold hands. Should we be surprised that Sud botched the ending of the series so badly? Not really, when you remember how she fueled critic and internet outrage in by leaving us hanging at the end of Season 1 with the Larsen murder, and then, after a trying second season filled with almost as many red herrings as Season 1, solved it, but gave us no clues that the aunt was the culprit for very lame reasons.
For some reason, Sud and her writers always knew how to do all the flips and handstands, but could never stick the landing. But what it did show viewers is that a show can be poorly plotted but still get by on good acting and dialogue. Chicago Detroit Los Angeles. New York San Francisco Archive. Filed under: Downtown.
