New York Post by Linda Stasi
A bleak, slow-moving, humorless show that is still so good that you will be angry every time an episode ends.

USA Today by Robert Bianco
What sets The Killing apart are its steady sense of dread, its dense atmospherics--that feeling that rain may at any moment pour from our sets--and its beautifully drawn characters.

Few television shows are as addictive as this pensive, wonderfully paced suspenser.

Newsday by Verne Gay
Smart new cop show that takes time to build, but will reward patience.

Uncle Barky by Ed Bark
The disparate detectives of The Killing may have their own means and methods of getting to the bottom of this. But the overall air of believability is palpable from the start. All the better for taking a deep breath and diving right in.

Boston Herald by Mark A. Perigard
This is no CBS crime procedural, and viewers deserve the chance to delve into this smart mystery for themselves.

The A.V. Club by Josh Modell
It took a circuitous route, with two cancellations and a move to Netflix, but it sticks the landing with this affecting, impressive final season.

The Hollywood Reporter by Tim Goodman
The series is excellent, absorbing and addictive. When each episode ends, you long for the next--a hallmark of great dramas.
