The Killing (2011–2014)
8/10
I almost missed this gem, don't you!

I love a good whodunit series and this one was excellent; kept me guessing at every twist and turn and there was a lot of both. This drama pulled me in and didn't let go until the last scene which had me holding my breath. Story lines were gritty and not over-the-top. The acting in this thing was old-school good like when directors gave a damn about their craft. The two lead characters were extremely well developed; I always knew who they were and Kinnaman and Enos played off of each other like two virtuosos, stuff was really magic. Seasons 3 and 4 were the best two for my money but seasons 1 and 2 made me stick around for the latter two. I fancy myself a film snob, I'll give films 15 or 20 minutes before I'm bored and surfing for something else. If I watch an entire episode maybe there's something there, I stuck around for all 4 seasons and had withdrawl symptoms when it ended. I can almost promise you that you will never guess whodunit.
