The Killing - or, The Red Herrings

Watching now Season 2 of The Killing and despite the fact that it's an obviously manipulative show - honestly, it should probably be called The Red Herrings because we soon see that the pattern of the show is to introduce one likely suspect after another, only to exonerate in one manner or another and leave them in the rear view mirror, to the point where, by Episode 4 of Season 2, we're thinking not could this guy be Rosie's killer but why is he innocent? And how? - and you do get the dreaded feeling that the show will never conclude, at least not in a satisfying way - and yet - it's still very compelling episode by episode, especially because of the two leads, Mareille Enos as Linden and her partner, Holder (sorry I don't have actor's name), who's like what Eminem would be if he were a cop. The plot twists do keep me thinking, and I do have my theory - from way back early in Season 2 - that (possible spoiler) it's the angry dad of Rosie's rich boyfriend who did the killing; we'll see. Maybe. Love the look of rainy Seattle, even though I know it was filmed in Vancouver. But it does convey the feeling of a small and somewhat out of the way city with its own hip counterculture, and culture.
