The Killing (2011–2014)
1/10
A decent show that became terrible.
19 June 2012
Warning: Spoilers
This show was promising. It had interesting characters and a not bad plot. We all wanted to know "Who killed Rosie."

It then went on for far too many episodes. Each episode had a different suspect, who then turned out to be innocent. It could have gone on forever with new suspects (one for each resident of Seattle), but eventually the producers took pity on the viewers and killed the show.

Eventually I couldn't care who did away with Rosie. I would rather someone had killed Linden and Holder. They became the most annoying pair of cops I have ever seen. If any police personnel acted as they did, they would be criminally prosecuted. Reckless, incompetent and insanely possessed might begin to sum up their characters' actions. Of course, Linden is in the running for the dangerous mother of the year.

I also realize that the continuity of weather suffered from carelessness. Even though it was raining almost all the time (enough to float the city away), sometimes it unaccountably fair -- then back to the rain.

The ending was not only stupid, but frustrating. The evildoers seemed chosen at random since they had to end the show. And I have no idea what happens to Linden. Perhaps she walks off into another show.
