Synopsis

TV Series (2011-2014). 4 Seasons. 44 Episodes. The Killing ties together three distinct stories around a single murder including the detectives assigned to the case, the victim's grieving family, and the suspects. Set in Seattle, the story also explores local politics as it follows politicians connected to the case. As the series unfolds, it becomes clear that there are no accidents; everyone has a secret, and while the characters think they've moved on, their past isn't done with them.

Critics' reviews

"[4th Season Review]: Even the most forgiving fan will find The Killing a shadow of its former self."

Mary McNamara: Los Angeles Times
"[4th Season Review]: 'The Killing' shines brightest when its stars aren't mired in gloom and their characters just do their jobs."

Jeff Jensen: Entertainment Weekly
"[4th Season Review]: [It] grafted a mystery on to it that feels like an echo of what the show has done more interestingly in the past."

Brian Tallerico: rogerebert.com
"[4th Season Review]: Despite flashes of what initially made the Danish adaptation so intriguing, this stretch drive can’t escape the feeling of a show ready to be put out of its misery."

Brian Lowry: Variety
"[4th Season Review]: It took a circuitous route, with two cancellations and a move to Netflix, but it sticks the landing with this affecting, impressive final season."

Josh Modell: AV Club
"[4th Season Review]: Even in its tense, involving conclusion, the final season of The Killing conjures nothing so much as a more compact recitation of its mundane pessimism"

Chris Cabin: Slant
"[3rd Season Review]: It's too early yet to know if the writing can avoid the pitfalls of the 'Who Killed Rosie Larsen?' story, but this is off to a promising start."
