I was cleaning house, so now I've missed the first 15 minutes, ugh! I'll think I'll have to try to watch it online, or catch the next airing. It seems as if AMC has some great series that I haven't had the opportunity to watch yet.
I saw the first two episodes and enjoyed them.I am a little concerned that this could turn into a Twin Peaks type of thing i.e. going on and on with no resolution.
Mod
I can't stand when shows leave us hanging. That was pretty much the only fault I had with Prison Break!
I haven't heard of this. When is it airing again?
Thanks Michael. I'll make sure to record it. I want to see if I like it.
Mod
I gotcha D! I'm recording it just in case I fall asleep. LOL
Well I went an watched the premiere online since I had already recorded episode 3. I really enjoyed it. I'm want to know who killed the girl as well. So now I will be recording it on Sunday nights. Good things episode 4 will come on tonight.My only gripe with this is the lead female character. The detective chick! Her acting is so blah! She looks blah and she acts blah. I hate mediocre performances when I know the character could be stronger. I wish she would show more emotions. Even the other characters (the grieving family, Billy Campbell's character, etc) all seem more emotional and real than her. Oh well, maybe she is suppose to be plain old detective. LOL.
Through episode 4 and I'm still liking it. The lead detective is a little blah but I kind of find it a little refreshing seeing someone "normal" rather than these drop dead gorgeous actresses with enhanced everything.
Not like I don't mind looking at enhanced everything!
I've finished watching episode 4. I'm already formulating my guesses of who did it. Michael, I wasn't just referring to the head detective's looks. She just seem a little bit dry to me but I agree for this kind of role they don't need a gorgeous over the top actress.
Am I the only one still watching this? Davina, did you ever catch an episode yet?

Sorry that you didn't really enjoy it. I'm still watching the series. Though I totally forgot about it Sunday that just past. That shows where my mind is.

Although I think it is a pretty good series I wish something would happen to shake me up.
I can understand that Davina. I'll let you know how it all plays out.I agree, Michael. It is still interesting but I wish they would spice it up more now that they caught viewers attention.
Saw the latest episode Sunday and now its losing me. Hey either get on the plane or tell all involved you are in it for the long haul.Weak suspects, no suspects, out in left field suspects.
Please let something happen.
I haven't saw the last two episodes. I was planning to watch it this weekend but that is very discouraging b/c if you still want something to happen then I know I won't be satisfied. Why is she still b/sing around? She knows she not getting on that plane.
Mod
I know I am starting to make this sound like a Bitch thread but...Latest episode again nothing happening and stupid unneccessery subplots.
I feel if you watch the first five minutes and the last five you have seen enough.
I had such high hopes for this series.
Mod
no I don't get HBO so I have to wait for the disc.
I agree Michael. I'm wrapping this show up. Its not holding my interest anymore.
Samantha I don't know if I am just a glutton for punishment or if I just have no life but I'll give it one more episode. After all Ihave it set to record and I have plenty of space. Mercifully there is the FF button.
I'm done , put in the fork.I'll let someone tell me the end of the season.
OK I kept watching even tho you only had to watch the first minutes and the last to keep up.But the last episode.... Give me a break!
It will try to be a Twin Peaks. Go on for years with no resolution. It's pissing me off so much that I'll probably keep watching only because the rest of TV is so bad.
Mod
Michael, they ordered another season of this show. Just in case you still want to torture yourself.
I will probably continue to self flagellate.
Yes! LOL! I was talking about this in another group and people love this show. Go figure.
I keep comparing this to Twin Peaks a show I really liked but by the last 2 seasons you realized the writers were just done.I guess it is hard to pass up huge money when a hit show is at hand.
I felt the producers and writers of The Wire did it right. They made each season stand on it's own even tho they had continuing characters.
This could have been done so easily in The Killing. Just wrap up this story keep the characters (she moves to Napa starts a new job new murder). Or break her up with the boyfriend and let her stay in Seattle but start a new case for God's sake.
