Posted: 7/28/2012 10:06:53 AM THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Bye Statement from the network: "After much deliberation, we’ve come to the difficult decision not to renew The Killing for a third season. AMC is incredibly proud of the show and is fortunate to have worked with such a talented team on this project, from showrunner Veena Sud and our terrific partners at Fox Television Studios to the talented, dedicated crew and exceptional cast.” Never liked the show, tried as I did. Sarah Linden reminded me of Scully from X-File, but with a "who farted" look on her face all the time. Two seasons just seemed to go on forever.

It would make sense that it would only be two season anyways since the original euro show was only two seasons.

After the announcement there were the usual "American audience only wants instant gratification". I don't expect CSI-style crime solved in an hour, but after all the misdirections and red herrings it just got so tiresome.

But, real question, who whacked her? Click To View Spoiler Sort of a lot of people, but the actual person who did the job was Stan Larson's Sister In law. She didn't know who was in the trunk but rolled the car into the water.
