Negative Positive
Title: Find something else to watch
Review: What a frustrating, poorly written show. Aside from a couple of decent characters, The Killing was a complete waste of time. It certainly doesn't live up to the AMC standard set by Mad Men, Breaking Bad or even Rubicon (which I thought was at least good enough to get a second season). The "twists" that happen throughout the show aren't clever or interesting - just maddening. As soon as a character is purported to be the killer, you spend the next 2 episodes wondering what absurd set of coincidences will be revealed that vindicates them. After about 6 or 7 episodes, my sole reason for watching was to see how the show wrapped up. I couldn't believe that AMC opted to green light another season - I certainly won't be back.
