The Killing - Season 4/Final season thread (August 1st on Netflix)
- Thread starter STAN JONES
- Start date
It seems like people are split on the ending.
but unfortunately it had to end this way for a couple of reasons.
1 - They only had 6 episodes to work with, when I am sure it was originally supposed to go on for another 10 or 12
2- I think Mayor showing up and forcing a suicide verdict makes a whole lot of sense. They can't have 2 detectives linked to serious wrong doings like that in a relatively short time span. Was the way they handled the text messaging and the fact that Linden was making so much mistakes sloppy? Sure I'll give you that, but the lady was losing her mind. She was on the verge of running away from the only one who stuck with her all these years. I think it was a perfect ending in that situation tbh...she was finally at peace. It was time to let Holder all the way in.
3 - The show was dark all the way throughout...the "nice" ending worked well for a show that kept things as bleak as they possibly can. I hate when people hate on "predictable endings"...I don't think it was predictable either.

Fair enough. I'm not gonna criticise too much because their hands were tied with the amount of episodes.
Ultimately, this show lost its way pretty early - and considering how bad it got at one point - the ending was decent enough.

IMO the show has always been great
the only fukk ups were not revealing the killer in the season 1 finale and spending too much time trying to trick the audience instead of just telling the story(also in season 1)
even with those fukk ups season 1 is still the best season and the Rosie Larsen case is by far the best case of the show

only thing i didnt like about the ending was the fact that it was years later and they werent cops anymore
they killed any hope that i had of the show returning from the dead for a 3rd time
still pissed AMC only allowed Netflix to do a short final season instead of just selling the show to them
She could not be a cop anymore breh.only thing i didnt like about the ending was the fact that it was years later and they werent cops anymore

Not only because of the murder, but it was consuming her life to the point in where she could not function anymore. It had to end this way, I've accepted it.

i understand breh,i just wanted more seasons
Nah, shows usually start falling flat after 4-5 seasons with very few exceptions.i understand breh,i just wanted more seasons
wish we could have had another couple seasons of this
started the first episode and got half way before i had to do some otehr shyt...looking forward to finishing the season...I hope it goes out on a high note....love this series and the whole seattle atmosphere
just finished season 4. Dope showThought the show finally found itself, and I loved the characters by the end, the final scenes were perfect to me, I honestly didn't see it as entirely romantic, but many critics took it that way. They finally found themselves, the way the audience did, it's just too bad thats all there will be. This is a much stronger show then it was in season 1 and 2.
finished the final season....
imma miss this show and the ending was great....linden n holder forever b 
show is underrated as fukk.....it deserves way more recognition...damn...i'm tired of all these dope shows ending...fukk
