I'm sorry to sound like such a jerk for those of you who like the show. It's not a terrible show, but it's nowhere near as entertaining as The Killing was. Not to mention it's ratings are much worse. So since The Killing gets canceled, then this better as well.
Renew AMCs The Killing for a final season! https://www.facebook.com/renewthekilling
It probably will be.
On the other hand, I could see them saying that they'd given The Killing three years to find a bigger audience and it never did. Maybe they'd be more willing to give a new show another season to grow whereas a older show would tend to have more limited growth potential (Breaking Bad being the exception)
Also, Michigan's film incentive program might make it more viable than Oregon's (isn't that where they shot The Killing)?

No, I know Vancouver has a big bag of tax subsidies...I just didn't know The Killing was shot there.

Out of the 89824345 shows on tv in this day an age,
Honestly it's a pain to immediately change the channel after Breaking Bad ends only to rush off of my DVR's Boardwalk Empire in time to make Talking Bad in time by 11:01pm.
LOL, nice.
shareSeriously? "Talking Bad"? A show about a show? Now that's quality programming. Yikes!

Well I'm 5 episodes in and my trusty DVR for when I turn the channel. There's not much on Mondays so LWS gets dumped on the first day back to work. No wonder I'm so grumpy over this show. LOL
Good, bad... ugly.... I like discussing it all. Personally when shows 'work' I find them brilliant and when they fail I find them just as fascinating. There's always great lessons to be culled from mediocre writing.
Sort of a tangent....one of the first jobs I had when I moved to Los Angeles was a script reader. People really have no idea how many bad scripts there are out there that never see the light of day.
For all the folks that complain about bad writing in movies/tv this and that....seriously you have no clue. Yes, there are gems that never get made (I read a few), but for the most part what you see is among the best that's out there. Even the "worst written" stuff. LOL

They should move it to Saturday nights behind Hell On Wheels. At least both shows seem to have a level of grit to go along with the story. They might make a nice pairing.
shareI liked "The Killing" too, but I like this show, too. So I say...renew them both. They could make it work. AMC replays a lot of shows during the week. I do believe they have enough space.
That's my opinion and I'm sticking with it.
Stick a fork in both of these shows, Justin Bieber.
shareI honestly wouldn't be surprised if both this show AND Hell on Wheels are officially canned by the end of October.
With its new original shows 'Halt and Fire', 'Turn', and 'Line of Sight' already in production, and the new Breaking Bad and Walking Dead spin-offs recently announced (I remember hearing too a few months back that Mad Men might get a spin-off as well), it looks to me like AMC will have more than enough to occupy its schedule for the foreseeable future.
I mean, honestly, for Hell on Wheels, the only real reason they kept it afloat this long was because they were still incredibly short on programming and in panic mode.

I can see that, as I took them moving HOW to Saturdays as a way to kill it off. The problem is, it's ratings have held stable. So while it hasn't gained any viewers, it hasn't lost any either.
The bad news for HOW is its ratings are only slightly better than TK. But I still think it's safe for now, and they may even move it to Sundays next year.
That's true. Makes me wonder though - with all these new shows coming in, HOW's massive (by AMC standard) budget, and the only slightly higher ratings than TK - if its really worth keeping around for them.
