    OK...I just watched the finale so now I can finally read this thread. Here's my theory...Gwen killed her out of jealousy, and it's her father in the car with Holder. How Holder is connected to those two, I don't know, but that is my theory for season 2. Whether or not they can sustain another 13 episodes out of that and the "did Balko kill the congressman" storylines? I have my doubts, but I thought it was an excellent 1st season albeit with a less than satisfying end. Now fire up Breaking Bad damnit!

    Sports Guy take on the finale:

    he doesn't seem to like the show as much as some of us. I think it was a lot better show than he gives credit to. does bring up a good point that they only renewed it for a second season a couple weeks ago. i would think they had two endings, one to wrap it up if they didn't get renewed, and one to drag it into a second season if they did. whatever, I like the show, it kept me interested.

    I love Simmons but he sucks when it comes to his reviews of movies and television and you are right, they had to have 2 endings in the can.

    my understanding is that the Danish version was 20 episodes aired over one season.

    Nope, the show runner claims other wise.

    I don't get the love for this show, its ok but very frustrating. I think people could of watched the first two episodes and then the last two and not missed anything. I'm not in the I'll never watch again camp, I'll give next season a couple of episodes but if it continues on like most of this season did I'll stop.

    simmons makes some good points and that review was hillarious. i still really enjoyed the show though.

    Nope, it was only one season of 20 episodes. Would highly recommend it! The subtitles make you pay attention more. Towards the end I did get a little angsty because I wanted to find out just who the feck did it :lol:

    I didn't think season two was that bad. I didn't care for the ending of it though. Looking forward to tonight's episode.

    The show was cancelled. Then they decided to bring it back thankfully. Season 2 wasn't close to as good as season 1 imo. Really hoping this season will be good and i'm ready for tonight.
    Go Birds!!!!

    Yes! I'm already guessing it is the pastor. I know I'll be wrong, but half the fun is guessing who did it.

    Hmm, lots to soak in on this new season?

    Are there really two killers, or is Seward(in jail) really innocent, and the same killer is still loose after all these years?

    didn't follow the first season
    caught up during a marathon and love it love it love it
    yeah this season is going to rock
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    "what a long, strange trip it's been"
  • jamminpearlsjamminpearls Posts: 7,078
    My guess is that the asshole prison guard is the killer. I think this season is off to an excellent start.

    It's a slow moving show, but the writing is very good. It takes a lot of twists and turns which is nice for a change, it's not very cookie cutter. I do wish they would pretty up the female detective a little more , her oversized sweaters, pulled back hair and no makeup need to go.

    I guess there will be another season.

    Pretty reminiscent of the ending of Seven.

    And he didnt even remember killing the main girl(Kallie), yet gave his daughter her ring???

    Very weird ending.

    On the one hand, satisfying--she killed him. On the other hand, unsatisfying--she killed him, roll credits.
