The Killing: You Get One More Chance

I thoroughly enjoyed the first season of AMC's The Killing.  That said, like many others, I too was disappointed with the cliff-hanger at the end of the season.  While the producers may have thought it was cute to bring one more twist to this murder mystery, I was ready to learn the identity of the killer.  If the Danes could do it in their original production, why are we playing around with a great recipe?  So now the producers have been humbled and say they will reveal the killer of Rosie Larsen in the second season.  AMC's senior vice president of original programming, Joel Stillerman, stated, "For everybody who was frustrated, we hear you. We would have taken a different approach to managing the expectations about what was going to happen." He added, "It was never intentionally meant to mislead anybody. Our goal was to create a brilliant piece of character-based story telling. We think we got there, but we definitely didn't manage expectations the way they should have been managed."  Bravo for honesty. Now fix it!
