The Killing Rewatch

[laguera25]

I'm watching The Killing on Netflix. It's as good as I remember, though I also remember the seething outrage from the fandom when the producers got cute in the name of milking the ratings and failed to name Rosie Larsen's murderer at season's end like their ad campaign promised. Veena Sud can peddle all the bullshit she wants about being true to the story the writers wanted/needed to tell; it was blatantly obvious that they pulled a bait-and-switch once the ratings were higher than expected and decided to stretch the case for another season. It's equally evident that their greedy strategy bit them in the ass when the ratings tanked in S2 because viewers were pissed at being jerked around. I never watched S2 because it conflicted with something I liked more(CSI:NY, maybe). I'm trying to watch it now before it leaves Netflix on March 13th.
