The Killing (final 6 episode season on Netflix only)...

[hlthe2b]

The little show that kept going and going after multiple cancellations over its previous 3 very uneven seasons, saved one last time on Netflix.

I just binge-watched the final six episodes and have to say it was worth it. They crammed more into those final six than the entire first three full seasons. This little show had so much promise, I'm glad they got a chance to finish out. Recommended if you are one who has netflix, though it will likely show up elsewhere in the future...

Anyone else see it?

3. I binge watched the first 3 seasons a month ago.

I think it was only 3 seasons. (?) is the final season the 4th?

The last season left me with mixed feelings about considering watching the next. I was so involved in the first, but stunned they carried the same story line into a second season. I found the pace too slow, plot points falling apart for me. The most notable in my memory is the when a Greek mythological figure (can't remember now which greek god) somehow mysteriously surfaces linking the identity to candidate Richards (remember Linden sitting at Richards' computer in his campaign office?) making him the obvious suspect in Rosie's murder. Trying to remember if that's how the first season ended, or just the episode. Anyway, that whole thread was abandoned it seems, and then on to a different suspect. huh? It was weird.

There were other plot twists that fell apart in that case. The next case dragged on too long as well, and the plot twists in that was just a bit too far stretched for my taste.

So I'm ambivalent about investing any more time to the final season, although I suppose it might be worth finishing off. I can always fast forward I suppose. LOL!

4. As I said, the first three seasons were very uneven, leading to multiple cancellations...

and I agree with your critiques.

IMO, the last six episodes were far better than the first three seasons combined. Your mileage may vary, but I felt compelled to offer my opinion after viewing them.

6. We've watched the first 3 episodes so far,

and we're liking it a lot. I think this is better than when it was on AMC.
