It's the Nordic Noir that took the world by storm and then got an American remake and then became a US hit... proving that Americans don't like to read their TV shows. I used to be the same but then I discovered the glory of World Cinema! The new character posters for The Killing on Netflix have arrived and it's STILL RAINING... well it's a very rainy place.

The story picks up right after the season 3 finale.  As Detective Linden (Mireille Enos) and Detective Holder (Joel Kinnaman) struggle to manage the fallout from their rash actions at the end of last season, they are assigned a new case -- a picture perfect family is murdered, survived only by the son, Kyle Stansbury (Tyler Ross), who was shot in the head during the massacre.  

Joan Allen guest stars this season as Colonel Margaret Rayne, the headmaster of the all-boys military academy where Kyle attends.  The new season also stars Gregg Henry, Sterling Beaumon and Levi Meaden.

The first three seasons of THE KILLING are available now on Netflix before the fourth and final season premieres on 1st August.
