What do you think? Do you like The Killing TV series? Do you think that it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
I’m so excited that Netflix is going to air the 4th season. This show is like, totally amazing but it’s sad to know that it will be the last season. I just hope that Linden and Holder get together.

Love the Show. Please Renew in 2014.
Great show keep it on

Please RENEW!!! Really like TheKilling!
Good actors and always interesting! RENEW PLEASE!!!
Renew!!!

Pony tail & weird sweaters & the developing of a character that has some serious issues!! Y oh y do we get stuck with the Kardashians when there is this kind of TALENT around !! Don’t even think of cxlng this… Read more »
