Yes, I definitely think it should be on for a 3rd season….it’s my favorite and it is a smart detective show that could grow a following.
We are hooked on The Killing! Keep it going. Great acting, great suspense, great show!
I hate television and most Hollywood movies. I LOVE The Killing a

I LOVE “The Killing.” I think it’s one of the smartest shows on TV.
The acting is fabulous. The plot keeps me on the edge of my seat
each week! Please renew it!
OUTSTANDING SHOW. It is impossible yo describe the rewards to an audience when a Tv show like The Killing (and equally so Homeland) does not tak down to us, allows us to wonder, THINK, infer, interpret, and sit in awe of exquisite acting from every single cast member on the screen. I even miss Michelle Forbes being on more often! Many more people watch this show than the ratings show. THAT’S A FACT!
I love The Killing. The characters are well drawn and the plot twists are endless. I hope it gets renewed
Definitely renew for a 3rd season. It is a refreshing crime drama (not that murder should be tagged as that) but in light of all the brain candy reality shows that are useless this series certainly keeps the mind working.
I do believe that this is perhaps the best crime drama out there, and I love that it does not follow the cookie cutter formula. If it were to be renewed (*fingers crossed*) I think that they can continue with a multipart story line, but I do not believe that they can survive with a two season story arc. I think one season– 13 episodes– is plenty to tell a full story. Obviously, new challenge (e.g. murder) for Linden and Holder in a new story arc. Mad Men has raised it’s game (good) vs. last season (mediocre). Glad to see… Read more »
Definitely one of the best shows on television with excellent writing and acting. As a veteran of years of mystery/crime drams, I can say this is my favorite. I do hope there will be a season 3.
The best show in TV today, I hope it will remain for a long time,
I love this show. Best acting on tv! Wonderful characters.
I think one of Stan’s sons did it!
The Killing is my favorite show on TV right now. Finally, an intelligent drama series for those with an attention span longer than a kindergartener’s. The writing is superb and the acting is sublime. It’s so much better than the usual drivel that passes for entertainment these days. I LOVE that it’s not a typical procedural drama. I mean, really, do we need any more of ‘those’ on TV? Cop procedurals are a dime a dozen. The Killing has true depth, raw emotion and a realness to it that draws me in week after week. I don’t watch any other… Read more »
I agree with Cheryl 100%. The Killing is only the second series I’ve actually looked forward to watching enthusiastically. The first was Lost. Holder is a classic TV character! Linden’s a bit of a basket case, but the character is genuine. And the writing! Cheryl, you hit the nail on the head!
The Killing is clearly the best charcter study crime drama on TV. Actual murders are not solved in 48 minutes.
I stopped watching Mad Men after season Two. :yawn: PLEASE don’t cancel The Killing, it’s one of the best shows on TV even though I believe it’s wandered off track this season. Get Linden and Holder back on track and life will be good. We don ‘t care about tbe Richmond or reservation story lines. Thank you.
I love the show, I think there could be more dimention into some of the characters to have it continue this long, but I love this show & I am addicted. & really angry that Linden lost her job! The show peeks my interest each week I record it so I can watch it again before the next episode. One of the best crime dramas on TV & I hope it will ramain for a long time. I see the show taking Linden & Holder into many specialized cases because of their success and recognition with this one. KEEP the… Read more »
I’m SO, SO tired of “reality” tv! PLEASE RENEW ‘THE KILLING’ for a third season!! The writing and acting are top notch! It’ great to sit down and watch entertainment as it should be! THANK YOU CAST, and THANK YOU WRITERS, DIRECTORS, ETC.!!!
