The entire season will be available on Friday morning, and, in one sitting, you can cruise through the so-so story and find out before lunch what the future holds for Linden and Holder. Which is all reason to be glad that “The Killing” is now a Netflix show. Having pushed Linden and Holder to the edge in Season 3, the writers, now forced into a quick denouement, take them to even greater extremes of despair, sometimes in ways that don’t make sense for their characters. A deliberate quotation, a moment in the fourth episode that mirrors a famous scene in the show’s pilot, doesn’t have the impact such coups de théâtre did in the past.Īnd the charge of unredeemed bleakness is now partly true. Instead of a dark, intriguing puzzle, we get familiar elements - the creepy guy with the wall of photos, the endangered witness unable to reach Linden - popping up in predictable fashion. It’s as if the writers, worried about shoehorning in both a new mystery and a sense of closure, overcompensated.

Here are some of the highlights selected by The Times’s TV critics: Television this year offered ingenuity, humor, defiance and hope. Its complicated but smart plotting was mislabeled as confusing (which is what happens when you’re not really watching), and its stark, singular tone and style were dismissed as grim. But the show nonetheless continued, in its second and third seasons, to be one of the better cable dramas around. The reputation of “The Killing” never recovered from the brouhaha. Critics who had praised the show through its first season suddenly started finding reasons to dislike it, and the producers of subsequent serialized crime series took pains to announce that their mysteries would be solved by the season finale. When AMC failed to make it clear that the initial murdered-girl story arc would not be wrapped up in one season, the series became the prime example of the new power of audience outrage.
