The Killing is the kind of show that requires patience. It’s a slow burner, very much in the style of Swedish and Danish films and television (it’s based on the Danish hit Forbrydelsen). Dark and gloomy, The Killing is various shades of grey and it’s backdrop of Seattle makes for a fitting setting. Seasons 1 and 2 of The Killing, centered around the mystery of who killed Rosie Larson, a sweet but troubled teenage from a loving family. When the mystery of Rosie’s murder wasn’t solved by the end of Season 1, fans of the show were left frustrated. Season Two was a bit of a slog, the tension seeping out of the story like an old air mattress with a mysterious leak. There were too many characters whose motivations were unclear, and too many subplots that just weren’t all that interesting.
