It's 2024 and I've finally watched The Killing, well at least the first two seasons anyway. It took me about a month to finish the first episode, I stopped and started it several times before finishing the pilot. It wasn't until episode nine of the first season that I realized we don't find out who killed Rosie Larsen until the end of season two. I'm sorry but it's completely ridiculous to have to wait for 26 episodes to find out who killed someone we never even get to know because she's dead when the show began.
Mirelle Enos plays Detective Linden who always seems to be weirdly chewing nicotine gum, wears very itchy looking sweaters, and is a crappy mother to her son Jack. Joel Kinnaman is Detective Holder who looks like many of the meth/heroin/crack addicts I've arrested over the years and probably smells like them too. Smoking fake weed to get close to teenage girls so he can get information from them about the murdered teenage girl. He looks like a homeless man and he talks like a 14yr old white boy who is trying to sound black.
Those two annoying main characters aside like I said previously we have to watch 26 episodes to find out who killed 16yr old Rosie Larsen. We are BOMBARDED with scenes of her mother hysterically crying or staring into space as she completely ignores her other two sons who are much younger than Rosie.
By the end I was hate watching the show just to find out who killed Rosie even though at that point I really didn't care. I was even more annoyed when I read an article saying that the actor/s who played the killer wasn't told until a few weeks before the ending because the writers didn't want it to change their approach to the role. I'm sorry but that sounds like a load of BS, like they themselves didn't know until the end and picked a name out of a hat.
As I've said many times before I love a good twist ending but it has to make sense. Jamie was a t**t and a moron but he definitely wasn't the type to beat a teenager and lock her in the trunk of a car. But even still that could've been the end of it but no they had to make it that Terry who's been nothing but loving and caring suddenly has no problem driving the car containing the still alive teenager into the lake. She does it to help her scumbag married boyfriend even though she overheard him saying he didn't plan on leaving his wife ?? And then it turns out that the teenager was her niece, Rosie ?? Give me a break !!
