hello april i just saw you reblog that the killing post and i've never seen that show but i've watched altered carbon last week and i really liked joel kinnaman in that so when i saw him in thaat gifset i was like eye emoji so pls tell me if and why i should watch the killing pls and thanks
omg fiona i literally don’t even know where to start with this show but YES PLEASE YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT!
it’s so raw and gritty and just the way it’s filmed, it’s brilliant. and obviously you have now seen the light with joel kinnaman. the killing is where i first saw him and now i’m like ‘oh joel’s in it guess i have to watch’. but like mireille enos who plays holder’s (joel) partner linden in the show blew me away every episode.
they are both so messy and they spiral at times. lots and lots of personal and family issues but i don’t want to spoil anything, but i will say you can’t not love them as characters and as partners with the relationship they build. plus they start out kind of hating each other because they are practically complete opposites so you know enemies to friends to......
outside of just that though the cases they work are dark and intricate and just twisted enough. they definitely kept me guessing. and to top it all off it’s only 44 episodes in the whole series. now is that a total shame because i wish there had been more seasons? OBVIOUSLY! but that also means it didn’t overstay it’s welcome like most shows. i got to love it from beginning to end. which honestly i was pretty content with the ending, and these days that’s a rare occurrence. oh! and really great guest stars!
so i’m begging you to check it out and give me all your thoughts.
