Joel Kinnaman is fricking awesome.

This season has so much more depth compared to the first two. First two seasons were terrible when Linden and Holder weren't on screen. I didn't give a frick about the mayor or Rosie's mom ( her stupid side plot with the runaway girl almost made me quit the show)

This season is totally different. I find myself actually invested in Bullet's story (Lyric is an ugly count btw). Peter Saarsgard giving an amazing performance as Seward. Heck, even the guard shite is interesting. Great moment tonight with Francis helping Seward through the panic attack.

I just hope they learned their lesson from season 1. They've got three episodes to wrap the Seward story up. I have a feeling Linden's boy toy will wind up doing something that has a profound effect in whether or not we see Linden again next season.

That was something, I kept waiting for him to say something like "we're not letting anyone else die on my watch"....but he didn't. That scene can be interpreted so many ways. Really well done.

I thought that interaction where Holder brings the chinese was so deep. Guilt, regret, fear, embarrassment, anger, solace......just so much conveyed with virtually no dialogue. Amazing

Also, I sensed Holder's anger with Bullet coupled with his speech how he let his sister down as slightly connected. There was a part of him that saw himself as a punk in Bullet, and that angered him.

I think we all knew when she "walked away" at the end of last season, that wasn't the end of Linden. But now, they've at least toyed with the idea, if only for a second, that Linden's role may be coming to a close. If the boyfriend went on a jealous rage and killed her at the finale, I wouldn't be shocked. It surely would propel Holder into a new paradigm next season if that happened.

Yeah he is.

I think Francis helping Seward with his panic attack is an attempt to humanize him before they drop the bomb that he's the killer (him not coming home and being sketch about his shift seems to be pointing that way).

Veena Sud said before the season started that the case will be wrapped up by season's end. Now I don't know whether that means Seward's end will be tied up though.

I don't see Linden getting killed off/leaving though. Not now that they're really pushing the chemistry with her and Holder.
