re: Anybody watching "The Killing" on Netflix? (Spoilers)

I just finished S2 of this show... it's addicting, but I'd only recommend for the acting. The problem is the overall story and writing.

Joel Kinnaman steals the show as Holden. They wrote him as a cop wigr and he plays it to perfection. Brent Sexton (Stan Larsen) and Michelle Forbes (Mitch Larsen) are also very good in their roles. Billy Campbell's role is lost due to writing IMO.


Minor Spoilers S1/S2:
===================
- Show is WAY too over the top.
- Stereotypical police LT that yells at his detectives while obstructing the investigation. It's really bad.
- Gratuitous use of every whodunit angle. Literally from the school janitor to the polish mob. Every possible gotcha! angle is ABUSED, including masked school orgy, teacher preying on students, child prostitution, who's the daddy, it's a complete hyperbole mess.
