Season 2 finds Linden devolving into just plain incompetent, not to mention whiny, stubborn and self-centered.

That final, bathetic capture of Terry was at least a hint of the show's promise. The case, it turned out, did not end flashily in a stroke of lightning. Just rain, rain, rain.

This is a story about a murky process, not about a definitive resolution. It's deliberately soaked in confusion and misdirection. And so I embrace the dilemma.

I'm willing to give The Killing a second chance. I still find Linden and especially Holder compelling, exciting and enthralling characters trapped in a rain-soaked world of murder and suspense that aches to be further explored.

If the process is as fascinating in season two as it was in season one, this is hardly the worst way to spend a few hours of television time.

Rosie is absolutely enthralling so we can't help but mourn the fact that this main character was missing for most of the show.

The Killing has made a very good re-start.

Maybe the writers really are renegade storytellers whose risks will pay off.

Soon became clear that the lengths to which Sud was willing to go to keep us guessing weren't worth the effort. The Killing's punishing, monotonous downpour eventually washed everything away, including our interest.

The Killing sort of knows what it has to do to be a good show, but it thinks that all it has to do is flaunt convention to be good. It doesn't realize that it has to do more than present an appealing surface if the core is fundamentally rotten.
