Michael Myers and Freddie Kreuger have nothing on THE KILLING, a series that seems to be perpetually death-defying. After the 2-season search for the killer of Rosie Larsen, with a conclusion that seemed to satisfy no one, and then a third season that generated little excitement, AMC canceled The Killing… but it’s back. Netflix has decided to order a “final” (don’t bet on it) 6-episode run of the embattled thriller, which will be overseen again by showrunner Veena Sud and feature stars Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman. Although Netflix, as always, doesn’t release viewership numbers, reportedly The Killing has been very popular on the service, justifying the investment in additional episodes.
Fine. But Netflix: if The Good Wife or Parenthood don’t make it past this season on their broadcast networks, you’re now expected to step up.
