Holy Crap!!! 'The Killing'......

Netflix revives twice-canceled show for FINAL season

The Killing was AMC’s real zombie show.

Netflix has struck a deal with Fox Television Studios to resurrect the rainy crime drama for a fourth season.

That’s right: The Killing, a show that’s been canceled twice, is coming back to life for a second time.

AMC axed The Killing after its second season last year, only to pick it up again after talks between the studio and Netflix sparked interest in another round. The third season aired this summer on AMC to fairly modest ratings (ending with 1.5 million viewers). In September, AMC cancelled the increasingly ironically titled The Killing — again.

How many times can the killing get killed?

just maybe Netflix will decide to keep it going even though they said it will be the final season. If it does better on Netflix they'll keep it I would be willing to bet. We shall see,

The American version of The Killing was good, so was the original Danish version.

The American version certainly did not avoid the grey skies and rain of the NW, tho..
I got chilly just watching it.

I doubt I will watch this one. I think I am done with that show. Great idea and good potential, but the storytelling went bad.
