Television this year offered ingenuity, humor, defiance and hope. Its complicated but smart plotting was mislabeled as confusing (which is what happens when you’re not really watching), and its stark, singular tone and style were dismissed as grim. But the show nonetheless continued, in its second and third seasons, to be one of the better cable dramas around. The reputation of “The Killing” never recovered from the brouhaha.

Critics who had praised the show through its first season suddenly started finding reasons to dislike it, and the producers of subsequent serialized crime series took pains to announce that their mysteries would be solved by the season finale. When AMC failed to make it clear that the initial murdered-girl story arc would not be wrapped up in one season, the series became the prime example of the new power of audience outrage. Thanks to Netflix, we get to find out what happens to Linden and her partner, Stephen Holder, in the aftermath.īased on the Danish drama “Forbrydelsen,” “The Killing” will always be best known for something that had nothing to do with whether it was a good show.

The snakebit show was canceled twice by its original channel, AMC, the second time after a cliffhanger third-season finale in which the Seattle police detective Sarah Linden killed her lover - a fellow cop - when she figured out that he was a pedophilic serial killer.
“The Killing” returns on Friday for one last somber season, a six-episode coda on Netflix.
