The Killing

Oh The Killing. I haven’t talked much about it, but now that the finale has aired and people have had enough time to watch it, I want to talk a little about it. I hope you’re watching it because it’s really good, but if you’re not I will try not to give too much away. So the series started out with the murder of Rosie Larsen. She was found in the trunk of a car that was also found at the bottom of a lake. Clues lead the cops there and then of course the rest of the season is trying to find out who killed Rosie. You think it’s a million different people along the way and we’re still in the dark after the finale. I will admit that the first few episodes were a little slow, but it picked up and got really good so make sure to keep watching no matter what. I’m a little sad though because a lot of people don’t seem to be happy with how the finale turned out. Yes, it would have been nice to know who did it, but I think the finale was a very good cliff hanger and had a lot of suspense. People are saying it was anti climactic and they’re upset, but I’m seriously ready for more. I mean think about. How many of our favorite shows end for the season with something suspenseful happening and we have to wait until next season? A lot of shows do that. If they told us who killed Rosie in the finale, what would keep us all coming back to watch the season 2 premiere? I’m sure people would come back to see what new case there would be, but they need something that would definitely keep people coming back. I just hope this show doesn’t turn into Twin Peaks where it started to get really weird and then it got canceled.

I also just learned that this show is a rip off of a UK show with almost the same exact character names and almost the same exact story. I’ve lost a tiny bit of respect, but now I want to watch the UK version and compare. Do Americans have any original bones in their bodies? Either way, I recommend watching The Killing. There are 13 episodes total so take a long Saturday night and watch them all the way through and then come and tell me who you think killed Rosie.
