Best Drama ever! I never wanted it to go off every Sunday night! Season 3 is a MUST!
keep the Killing = great show – just needs to wrap each case up in one season – they clearly strained the patience of many viewers with 2 seasons to wrap up one case – really bad decision making by producers – the leads are wonderful and the show will do well if they bring it back
Keep the Killing
Good show!

I love this show, it is my all time favorite, Definetly needs to be a season 3. If not, amc will loose a lot of viewers I am sure because a lot of people adore this show.
I think the killing is a great show and should be renewed for another season
It would be a shame to cancel one of my family’s favorite television show. I thought the characters were believable and rather unique for a police drama and the foggy, gray setting of Seattle and the way it was filmed really enhanced what was happening in the plot. Not many shows can make that claim. We need a season three!
Definitely could have been huge like MadMen if they edited down and told the Rosie Larsen story in one season–but the ending was still truly devastating, with consistantly brilliant acting by everyone involved. I would tune in for a 3rd season based on that–but tell the next case story in just one season!
Yes please renew beats alot of the network shows
Please renew The Killing for a 3rd season…it is soooooooooooooooo good !!!
Really a well acted and well written show. LOVE to see a third season. The bonding of the characters is really starting to gel.
Dear AMC- Please keep this one. Sure there are a few opinionated detractors of the show still blowing off steam about last season’s finale, but this is one of the most solid crime-dramas I’ve ever seen on television. They say the Danish version is really good as well, but The Killing can stand on it’s own as gripping and almost addictive if you give it a fair chance. Simply remarkable!
This series sucks….needs better writing and a realistic story. It’s like a shack that gets add-ons that don’t work and you don’t know what to do next
AMC is my new fav. With shows like The Killing & The Walking Dead.
both keep me wanting more.
DO not Cancel……..
Please do not cancel just starting to love all the characters
Let’s give it another season. Will be interesting to see what kind of “killing” they come up with next.
There are no other shows that I watch wherein I instruct my husband to not disturb me under any circumstances (unless, of course, there’s a bona fide emergency). I need to be able to give 100% of my attention to this show to be able to keep up with all the twists and sub-plots. It’s a crime drama puzzle at its best. The acting is superb; the characters believable. I really, really hope there’s a third season.
