Great show. You can catch up online at AMC if you hurry. They are only gonna have it on line to catch up for a short period of time. It's a real who done it!

It seems that the whole first season focuses on one murder only. Quite a different concept.

2. The actors who play the detectives just weren't convincing
so I lost interest after the first episode. Thought it was a little boring too.

3. You should give it more of a chance. It always takes new shows time
to get their shit together. It is really getting good.

5. I got into Rubicon more
and they canceled that one.


The Killing is getting better, but the girl detective is too pensive. I realize this is supposed to reflect her caring and ability to think, but it comes off wierd.

7. Yep, I'm just waiting for what will be revealed about her own
history. There's been a couple clues. She really wants to get to Sonoma and her new life and new husband, where she talks repeatedly about it being 'good' and 'happy' there.... You just know she's got some heavy baggage she's trying to escape.

I recorded Rubicon and haven't watched it yet. Well, I saw the first one and it looked like the kind of thing I like. I didn't know it was canceled.

Layers upon layers, twists and turns --- and well done, too.

10. I am watching it, and enjoying it BUT
I am so tired of series/shows that are so poorly lit... I know they are going for that "dark/film noir" effect, but SheezLouise..it's hard to tell who's who sometimes:)

This is not the only show that does it.. Some do it for obvious reasons..like a period piece filmed in modernity..darkness shrouds a lot.
