- The similarities to Twin Peaks is unbelievable. I love the homage.monospaced
- Vague inspiration (gloomy, wet), but that's all. Twin Peaks was so much better than anything.formed
- More than that. Same music, the casino across the river, high school friends, prostitutionmonospaced
- Her friends, tons of possible killers, political corruptionmonospaced
- But that's the superificial stuff. Where's paranormal activities? Aliens? Supernatural?formed
- Seems like they could have read the first paragraph description of TP and made a story on it.formed
- Which is fine, I liked it, but think it is far from being in the same league.formed
- Fair enough re: the superstitious stuff.monospaced
- Sorry, I loved The Killing, but I am/was a huge fan of TP (Sherylin Fenn please!), nothing compares (even Lynch's music/lyrics were amazing)formed

There are always new cases. Haven't you watched Law and Order? They have a new case every episode!

Isn't it over now? They solved the case.
I agree it was far too long for a one girl case, but I did enjoy it.
- they "kind of" solved the case, and there was always another previous case, and of course more casesmonospaced
- Sarah's past is going to be part of the show, and Rosie's case had so many moving parts I bet it's not fully over yetmonospaced

They killed the killing. Hopefully another network will see the opportunity and take the show, if that's even an option. I still think it was one of the better shows to come along in awhile.
- i enjoyed it too. too bad they're killing it... i would've kept on watching.sine

The beginning of S2 was bad, now it's getting good again.
Still, it's a bit too long for just on girl in one case. The viewer feels like they should be in the mental hospital too.

Best show since The Wire = overstatement of the year
This show just goes on and on
I no longer care who killed the girl

"I caught the two-hour pilot and second episode to this new series, and I have to say, I'm riveted. It's gearing up to be the best s"how I've seen since The Wire. This might be AMC's best work so far..."
Not to start trouble or anything but it its a bit strange to me that you have not mentioned Breaking Bad here...
I'm going to assume you never watched it.
This is the very first 2 minutes of scene 1 in episode 1.
Just saying...
- I have watched every episode of Breaking Bad. It's amazing. But I still think The Killing is right up there with itmonospaced
- It's a Killing thread. There's a breaking bad thread where I'm certain they mention breaking baddopepope
- ok, now you have my attention hahaha, I might have to give it a tryMiguex
- Breaking bad is quality. 100%.dopepope

I had high hopes for it based on the first couple episodes but it went rapidly downhill after that.
Too many red herrings and dead ends with the plot. Over reliance on the atmospherics and music that makes the whole thing look like a car commercial. The characters motivations are not entirely believable (like the contrived story about Linden unable to postpone her wedding for a couple weeks).
Don't get me wrong not a bad show just much more average than it seemed to be at first. I think with all the well produced TV series on HBO/ AMC/ etc people are in a rush to declare every new show the greatest thing ever, and in this case it didn't quite hold up.

I've never seen this show,
but I'm sure I'll like it and that it will def be better than the wire

Finale was a bit weak compared to the episodes leading up to it. A truly great first season for a great show overall. Looking forward to the next season.

Absolute bullshit!

Love it! It takes like 4 episodes to get into, but when you do you are hooked.
