After two season on AMC, The Killing was supposed to be canceled. Despite the strong cast, the glacial pace of the program discouraged many viewers. I hung on and watched The Killing to what I thought was the end. Then, a few months ago, I heard rumors that The Killing was coming back with a few “changes.” In the first two seasons, The Killing took a 24-like approach: each episode was supposed to be a day in the murder investigation of a young girl. So, 24 episodes (or days) isn’t unreasonable for a murder investigation. But we live in a hyper state of TV watching. Instant gratification is the order of the day. So The Killing seemed to be taking FOREVER to solve the case. With this new Season Three starting tonight and a new investigation of a serial killer, I suspect the pace will accelerate. Mireille Enos (Sarah Linden) and Joel Kinnaman (Stephen Holder) return in tonight’s 2-hour premier episode. Check out the excellent trailer below.
I’m trying to find an email address to contact you on to ask if you would please consider adding a link to my website. I’d really appreciate if you could email me back. Thanks and have a great day!
I am taping it because of Peter Sarsgard being in the cast mostly. I don’t have too much faith in their ability to tell a good story.
We’re ready. Judging from the trailer I’ve seen Linden still looks unconscious but I’m hoping the pace will pick up a little.
I can’t remember, where is her son now?
Patti, the story in the first two seasons of THE KILLING was buried by the glacial pace. Hopefully, the producers have learned their lesson.
Jeff, I think the son is in Chicago with his father.
You are correct about the son’s habitation, sir.
