- GoofsDetective Sarah Linden is driving her car to pick up Kyle Stansbury. A heavy rain is falling. All of the car windows are rolled up as she brings the car to a stop. Stansbury bangs on the driver side window and then runs to other side of the car. As Stansbury enters the vehicle, the passenger side window is shown rolled down all the way. The next shot, from the reverse angle, shows the passenger side window has miraculously rolled back up on its own.
- Quotes
Sarah Linden: I never had a real house to grow up in. You know, home. I never belonged anywhere. And all my life, I was looking for that thing you know. Thinking that it was out there somewhere. That all I had to do was find it. But I think, maybe that home was us. It was you and me together in that stupid car riding around, smoking cigarettes. I think that was everything. I'm sorry. I should have known that you were one person who always stays. And you were my best friend.
We follow detectives Linden (Mireille Enos) and Holder (Joel Kinnaman) right where we left off, after the extrajudicial killing of a murder suspect. As the detectives move to conceal their crime, and begin to unravel, they're assigned a new case involving an affluent military family slaughtered in their own home. The only survivor is the family's son, a troubled student at the academy, who is badly beaten but has no memory of the night.
From there, we're in pretty standard Killing territory: alternately searing and silly scenes of investigation and personal turmoil clipped together with heavy nods to what's coming next. And yet the new six-episode format completely changes how the show unfolds. On a basic level, fewer episodes allow less time for false leads and dead-end subplots.
Kinnaman's Holder retains his quippy, lippy gift of sardonic gab, which is a good thing. Enos' Linden remains stricken-looking and very much in the running for TV's Unfit Mother of the Year.
Holder and Linden track a wide variety of clues while also suffering separate meltdowns. They're in turn being increasingly dogged by bossman Carl Reddick (Gregg Henry), who's investigating what happened to Skinner.
That said, I watched the whole thing in one big gulp, and willingly so. The Killing still has some pulling power, even if the initial thrill of Season 1 is long since gone.
The writers created a perfect and I mean perfect ending to this series. If you like the chemistry between Kinnamon and Enos which I did, it's about as close to a happy ending as possible for their characters.
