Anyone watching the new, and final season of "The Killing" on Netflix?

[whathehell]

I am -- and it's quite good so far.

I LOVED this series!

[hlthe2b]

1. Yes... I binge-watched the entire six episodes over the weekend...

So much better than the previous three seasons that I found to be very uneven... Great final episodes.

[NV Whino]

2. Yes. Finished it.

It was a bang up season. I forgave a couple of moments of bad acting for the overall quality. Great story, and it was wonderful to Joan Allen.

3. I should start from scratch huh?

[Hestia]

5. If you haven't watched the show at all, yes, start with Season 1 and go forth. Season 2 is what

I think started doing it in. People aren't prepared to go with a show for 2 seasons to find out who the killer is.

Season 3 is gang-busters and the last added episodes tie it all up.

[whathehell]

7. Yes, I agree...I loved season 3 and am SO sorry this is all of it, as it were

because I thought this was a dynamite show -- Love the characters -- Linden and Holder

are perfect together.

[JaydenD]

13. Holder was so great. I loved his gait, his demeanor his humor.

Got to find out what else he has done.

Not saying Linden was a slouch at all - I can't imagine anyone else doing the fine job she did.

[whathehell]

14. Yes, I thought so too,

although on occasion, I found his language to be uncomfortably misogynistic,

though that would be more attributable to the writers.

Did you know that, despite having an American father, he was born and raised in Sweden?.

That blew me away, because overall, I thought Holder was, in the best of ways, very "American".

[whathehell]

21. He was absolutely was great and the actor who played him, Joel Kinnaman,

is very interesting in that he is a Swedish national with an American father and,

believe it or not, he appears in SWEDISH films!...Can you imagine the guy playing

Holder being ANYTHING but American?...I have a multi-directional TV and I'm watching

a Swedish series called "Johan Falk" and our man "Holder" is playing a police informant

speaking PERFECT Swedish!

It has subtitles, of course!

[NRaleighLiberal]

19. there is a 4th season...though short. we are nearly done with 3. superb!

[whathehell]

20. okay.

[Agschmid]

11. I really loved it so thanks for the recommendation!

[bettyellen]

10. First season is awesome, second slows down but the acting is good and I already loved the leads

even though I was pretty tired of it before this season, I LOVED this last season. It was a really edgy yet gratifying way to end things.

[Hestia]

4. Just finished it last night. Wow, did not expect the ending that it does. Am I the only one

surprised by the ending of the last episode? If nothing else, we got clusure, huh? LOL The other part, no I wasn't surprised. I thoroughly expected that conclusion.

I wish there were other shows like this instead of same old tired fare that is being offered up. Of course, I can do without the bloody scenes, but other than that, strong writing.

Definitely worth watching.

[whathehell]

6. Okay, no spoilers, right? I'm only a couple of episodes into it.

[Pharaoh]

8. did you try breaking bad?

[whathehell]

9. Hestia, just finished watching the last episode myself, last night

and yes, I was also surprised...In the interests of not spoiling it for

those who haven't yet seen it, would you mind if I pm'd you so

we could discuss it?

[Hestia]

15. sure - a month later, sorry about that!

[JaydenD]

12. Wonderful series. Schools of red herrings... love that.

[PasadenaTrudy]

16. I just finished too

I'm so sad it's all over. Guess I'll watch Breaking Bad for the third time now. I'm anxiously waiting for Better Call Saul in Feb.

[NRaleighLiberal]

18. We cycle through the great ones - Six Feet Under, Sopranos, Boardwalk, Breaking....

We find that by leaving a few years in between, the best written and acted series go down well the second time.

Agree - Better Call Saul should be good. Even Twin Peaks is going to be revived - and perhaps a Sopranos Prequel too!

[NRaleighLiberal]

17. We have a few episodes of season 1 to get through - we watch two per night - hooked!

Pretty well written - we like the relatively slow pace - acting is fine, nice twists and turns.

A winner!
