I have been meaning to turn you on to a great Netflix binge-watch series: "The Killing." The series premiered on AMC in 2011 and went for 2 seasons, was cancelled and then renewed for a third season. It was again cancelled by AMC in September 2013 but Netflix ordered a fourth season of 6 episodes to conclude the series. You can now see all four seasons on Netflix, which is how I got into it a while back. I am currently two episodes away from finishing season 3 and am looking forward to watching season 4.
I'm not going to spend any time trying to explain the series because you can read all about it right here. Just trust me on this one. Watch the first 2 or 3 episodes of the first season and you will be hooked. What I will say is that the two leads, Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman are fantastic in their roles and have chemistry that grows and grows as the series unfolds. Enos is glammed down to just this side of frumpy, which is interesting in retrospect in view of her new, glamorous role in "The Catch" on ABC. Kinnaman is so good that I forget that he is even acting.
The production value, writing, direction and acting are top notch. If you are a Netflix subscriber you owe it to yourself to check it out.
