I kinda loved the Sopranos style ending . . . . . . at the moment of dawning realization . . . . . and you're left to wonder if she'll remedy it.

The only thing I was left with was the temptation to toss my TV out the window.

Um, here's one confused reviewer who thought the show as solved.

The wife and I enjoyed the finale. I wished it didn't carry over but thought they did a good job.

Maybe his power went out with ten minutes to go?

The one repeating claim that seems to be out there is the damage to the brand trust of AMC. I would think that this would be pretty concerning to them.

They really did have a good streak of shows going there. Even Rubicon which "failed" gave a plausible finale at the end even though it didn't know it was over for sure. The Killing legitimately seems to have pissed people off.

I've said I won't watch next season, but who am I kidding? Of course I will, I want to see who killed her. And if it turns out to be Richmond afterall...oh boy.

you realize that you will probably have to watch another 13 episodes (at least) until they reveal the killer, right? Can you honestly go through another 12 episodes that are composed entirely of ridiculous red herrings and side stories that add absolutely nothing to the show?

I'm surprised at the hate fest for this show. I'm a little late to the party but we watched the last two episodes last night and my overall opinion is that it is a good show. Is it as good as Dexter? Boardwalk Empire? Breaking Bad? No - probably not; but it's better than ANYTHING you'll find on network television so I'll gladly take it.

You and me think alike Coy. I just finished watching all the eps. and I thought it was a good show overall. Surprised by the criticism in the thread.

I like the show, I was just annoyed that the season finale didn't wrap anything up. A whole lot of build up to nothing.

Apparently that wasn't actually the ending.

Season 2 of The Killing - 13 episodes - is coming:

I was complaining because of The Walking Dead references that confused me.

I nearly threw my remote through the TV when the season ended w/o revealing the killer. They better reveal during the first episode imo.

I won't be finding out. That show lost me when they didn't reveal the killer in the last episode. It wasn't even that good to begin with. Maybe I'll read this thread to find out WHO KILLED ROSIE LARSEN.

Yup, the whole tag line of the show was Who killed Rosie Larsen, and then they don't answer it. Brutal. But they sucked me in and I'll watch the new season.
