Not everything on cable is a home run, the killing is fine, it's not amazing but I'll take it over any of the CSI's or whatever isolated episode murder mystery show on network.
Breaking Bad, Mad men, boardwalk empire, homeland are just better shows than anything network can provide. It's not even close and there is no brain washing.

The statement Cable is better than network, Its just a fact. Proves my point. You have just stated that any show that Cable produces is inherently better then a network show. You are not evaluating on a show by show basis.
I would agree that the majority of Cable shows are better than the majority of network shows. You won't here any argument from me about that. But the Killing is not one of those shows. To compare the killing to Breaking Bad, Man Men, Boradwalk empire, and Homeland is insulting to all of those shows. Are you actually implying that the Killing is comparable to all the other fantastic shows you just listed? You have also failed to list many of the one season and done cable shows that don't get renewed.
Red Herring after Red Herring after Red Herring after Cliff Hanger after one episode break to deal with her kid that she that went missing and important after not being involved with the plot for the last Month after Red Herring after Red Herring after Red Herring after solving the mystery... oh wait that was just a Red Herring IS NOT GOOD STORY TELLING. Network or Cable it doesn't matter it is not good story tellings.
It is also not fair to compare and continuing story drama with an eposodic drama. They are completely different forms of story telling.
