Holder and Linden are now my favourite detectives. Joel Kinnaman and Mireille Enos delivered an outstanding performances.

[@trent8002003]

He is actually very handsome. Full credit to the costume and make up crew for making him look sleazy and twisted.

[@VHick]

trent8002003 I absolutely love him and the roles he plays. His wife is very lucky & beautiful. Hopefully more to come. I will be following him.

[@excuseme2770]

I do not usually cry, and this show i got so freaking attatched to the charaters and what theyre feeling. The creators and actors have some real talent.

[@Rachel-yc1sn]

Finished the series today and not I am not sure what to do with my life. I am lost. Gonna watch them all over again tonight.

[@karenknight8275]

Rachel - I watched all of it twice and Loved it even more the second time!

[@lulu_lovegood]

same here

[@fawazaljohani8447]

A Good suggestion is to watch other series or films by the actor, I watched the killing after seeing Altered Carbon just because he is a part of it, truly talented actor

[@d.h.8824]

"The people that did watch it... it really meant something to them." You have no idea Joel.

[@gregoryking1080]

Damn i never thought i would get emotional for watching the killing but i did and for that this show has held on to me and it always will .and it had such a sad and happy ending and let me tell u that shit had my eyes watery and out of all the tv shows that i have ever watched none of them will ever be as brilliant as the killing. A masterpiece!

[@danfitz447]

+Gregory King I cried like a school girl at the end of season 2..lol

[@bang10snyndn27]

OMG the last episode made me cry!! I always knew they would end up together it just took them a long time to realize that!! This six episodes was like a forever!!

[@xoloveebuggxo]

not only is he handsome and funny but he's also very intelligent and aware of his surrounding and of the world! That is such an attractive trait in a person let alone a famous actor. And the "soccer? i dont use that word. its called football" comment was the cherry on top♥

[@Ella795]

xoloveebuggxo What's the difference between Soccer to Football?

[@aleshahooker]

@@Ella795 soccer is played with a round ball and you kicked it but can't touch it, the american football is like rugby it's two completely different games you see ? i'm french so in france soccer means football and football that is similar to rugby is called rugby lol i think it depends of the countries

[@Ella795]

@@aleshahooker thank you for the explanation!

[@a.delfantasma]

I NEED ANOTHER SEASON :(

I know, for real!!! Like come on!

the most gorgeous man that I have ever seen

[@isabelaamaral6377]

Yes!!!

[@DeanithForeverYoung]

I cried like a baby at season 4 finale.

[@vinsss187]

Just recently watched all 4 seasons on netflix within a 2 week period and I must say I loved the show. A little late but I'm really bummed this show ended and didnt continue.

[@antinatalistcougar]

this show is masterpiece after masterpiece. that cow shed scene is the most flawlessly adroit foreshadowing i've ever seen on the screen. the viewer is pulled into the investigation from the perspective of every character, so that clues are left which linger until a climactic moment when they are taken away & replaced with the story's facts, eliminating theory after theory. kinnaman is a hot & tender hulking swede when he cries & i even love how he eats carrots. that chemistry, however platonic, between holder & linden is so thick it's like they are two parts of one mind oriented to the truth. mireille enos is fabulously unselfconscious, a real solid female character for once in television. and the appearances by callum keith rennie & peter sarsgaard? it's almost too much hotness. the show is perfection. perfection.

[@cynthiajohnson5529]

Joel Kinnaman is gorgeous. Im glad they get to end it because lots of good shows get can before they can wrap it up the way they should.

[@ojj75]

The Killing will always be one of my all-time favourite TV shows. We got seasons 1-3 here in Singapore. No Netflix but thank goodness for the Internet! I think it beats True Detective hands down. The cast, writing and directing are incredible. Really hope the series will make a comeback. :)

[@YourCatLikesMeBetter]

ojj75 I really enjoyed both shows.

[@btran213]

+MusikLuvrToo yeah dude, true detective was hyped due to all star cast but acting was great. killing was great writing and acting

[@brittanylee4591]

ojj75 no Netflix oh man That's all I watch😳

[@noopcoup4940]

does anybody remember the spaghetti dialogue? Holder has ordered spaghetti pha ki mao and he says it with an accent.. it's so cute!!! I mustve watched that scene a dozen times.. effortless acting and a natural!! I want more!! Holder please come back!

[@opp305]

One of the best crime series ever! Rip the killing ! You will be missed :,(

[@isaltom4174]

I've heard about the Killing without wanting to see it and then I started watching it and I saw all in 4 days until 3 am ! I was fascinated by the story, this wonderful couple Linden and Holder and this guys are both beautiful, awsome, so good actors and I finished Season 4 in tears and so happy by the end at the same time ! I would love a Season five of course and I would love to see this gorgeous Kinnaman in an other film, I really adore him ! Mireille Enos was outstanding also, I love her. Wonderful, wonderful Killing, thanks God, it can happen !

[@pratibhaparanjpe3012]

Just finished all the seasons and I am already in love with series and offcorse with handsome Joel. Wished we could have more seasons to watch. Good pair of Linden and Holder. Big thumbsup!!!!

[@chriswaterous8781]

This show was special. It never jumped the shark. Demme is a genius and the cast is exceptional. Right up there with "Luther", "Dexter", "Hannibal" and "Breaking Bad" by exceeding what you'd expect from a crime series. I don't watch many movies or shows twice but, I will revisit this again and again. Thank you!

[@mislang69]

Season 4's ending was such a tease! But I loved it. Ended with me wanting more, but at the same time, satisfied. Great job, guys!

[@alydematti]

Joel is seriously beautiful. Can't wait to see how they conclude The Killing!

[@czmadzia]

I can't wait to see the last season of the show. Holder is a great character thanks to Joel's brilliant acting. The story deserves conclusion sooo much! And the relationship between Linden and Holder does as well. Good luck in future projects, Joel! :-)

[@shaqgarrett9621]

One of the best series of a show I have ever seen. The chemistry, acting so superb. And I loved the ending!!!!?!

[@debrarotas1868]

He is a huge part of the show. Along with her. He made it fun and she brought the real drama at it’s best. Congratulations 🎉🎊🎈 after going back and binge watching it, I loved watching it just as much even more.

[@misslulumr]

Just finished watching it last night and I really liked how it ended, definitely on of my favorite shows. I'm gonna miss Linden and Holder :(

[@Leah.brooke47]

Okay I shipped linden and holder so hard. And when it ended I was so mad.

[@prcbras]

I can't wait to see how the relationship between Holder and Linden evolves. Nice tease. Can't wait to watch the final episodes.

[@carlrosenstock8413]

I just finished streaming the whole 4 seasons and it was even better then when I watched it the first time. Thank you!!!

[@karinaking9047]

Total fan, wish there was more to see!!! Bring it back! BTW Joel you are simply beautiful!!!!

[@indyvamp79]

Such a touching, dark, REAL show! Loved the final season but could've been more episodes :/ Both actors are AMAZING. And damn he's fine! ;)

[@jojotonk]

Can't wait to see season 4, such a brilliant show, don't understand why The Killing was cancelled, so many horrible shows out there and they get renewed. Joel sometimes seem very shy, love his tattoos.

[@sickyicky_wk2]

i think its more of a mother-son relatioonship, theyre always just looking out for eachother mostly.

[@lamosos]

It's all about the views. Sometimes good shows don't get the promotion they deserve. Sometimes they appeal to a very narrow slice of the audience pie. Whatever the reason, very few networks would have the balls to stick with a potentially unprofitable project. I'm just happy that in the end, they still got a chance to wrap it up, that is quite rare.

[@betinaafanador3304]

OMG He's so freaking HOT!!! 😍😍😍🔥 ugh I'm so sad this show has ended. Just starting season 3 and I hate that I know it's going to end

[@debraprice8508]

Finished the Series via Netflex this past hour. Masterfully done! I didn't want the series to end. Love all the actors, actresses...featured. as well. My favorite actors were exciting to see. Cannot list all of them here. Linden & Holder: Made for quite an impact team. Writers and directors were excellent! "Gonna miss the series...though I will be able to stream anytime I feel "lost" for the program.

[@Contessa1114]

I just got done today! I can't believe it's over!! It ended perfectly! The song at the end hit me in my soul! Great series! So sad it's gone!

[@XxAfriCaNKinGxX]

he is a good actor I really liked the show the killing

[@janinesaucier7470]

Absolute brilliant acting!!!! Incredible story writing and I wish it would continue for a long time! Edge of seat storyline!

[@marianmarina89]

The Killing is so awesome! It's sad it had to struggle considering how many awful shows have way more seasons. I hope Enos and Kinnamen have long careers because they are two very talented actors :)

[@MariaPerez-ve5kv]

So sad to see it end, I streamed the entire show and I fell in love with it. Was hoping there were going to be more seasons, but I guess not. :-(

[@hayleymejia2154]

Loved this show 3 I can't believe they decided to end it. Best investigating show there has been! Its unbelievable!

[@TheCeciliaSanchez]

"Soccer. I don't use that word. It's football". 22:26 Of course it is.

[@joannehiggs8192]

yes another season - I could watch this forever

[@mikael26288]

Hate to see this show come to an end, it is a very addicting show. But at least they are going to have an ending instead of just canceling it.

[@chiarinadp]

Definately in my top 3 shows. I miss it!

[@Paradroidx]

damn he never goes out of character ! Only reason i watch this show, its like slim shady met Rustin Cole

LOL 'It's called football' .... damn right it is :) ..... just finished watching all four seasons of the Killing on netflix and already having Lindon/Holder withdrawel symptoms .... one of the best, addictive, gripping, wow 'slap in the face' didnt see that coming TV shows i have watched in a long time .... oh well time to start my first rerun of season 1 :)

My husband and I just got finished watching all four seasons. We really enjoyed this show.

[@sweetsting1448]

I've only just got this brilliant series a week ago and been completely obsessed, hardly sleeping 😌 ....at end of season 3. Don't want it to end. On my best ever list. Damn sexy too

[@tjflash60]

My kind of vegetarian. A great character and I think he is smart to have a disconnect with social media. More entertainers would be wise to have some space from the fans.

[@dilleycurtis]

Damn good show. I started watching this awhile back when I was in prison. Unfortunately, we lost AMC. The show stayed on my mind. Now that I'm out I'm watching it on Netflix. Really great show.

Watched all seasons here on Netflix in the UK Absolutely great show and got fully hooked-going to miss watching it

[@brittanylee4591]

This guy is an incredible actor. Maybe underrated because of the physicality of some of his roles but I like actors who develop their character into distinguishable roles like he does. It is all about being in touch with humanity

[@KevinKillaKam]

Great job interviewer. Mess up the guys last name at the beggining paves the way for a great interview.

[@СветланаОрлова-г7т]

Очень красивый актер,с красивым мужским голосом )я видела с ним фильмы и раньше ,но как то сильно не цепляло,недавно посмотрела фильм ,,немая ярость,, шикарная игра) вот здесь он меня уже заинтересовал)) посмотрела далее ,,видоизмененный углерод,,уже была очарована его красотой) и после просмотра сериала ,,убийство,, я в него влюбилась!))) классный сериал,не оставляет равнодушным,создатели постарались концовкой чтобы каждый додумал что было дальше)) хорошая уловка) кто как воспринимал их отношения с Линден,то ли дружба ,то ли влюбленность у каждого в голове своя концовка) не каждый сериал так цепляет! Его герой такой простой,такой естественный,мне кажется каждый бы хотел себе такого друга) хотелось бы продолжения их истории )Joel ты обалденный ,дерзай) мы тебя любим❤❤❤❤❤

[@talex42]

Totally hooked on this series! Am in the middle of season three now. It stays good quality all through. To me, they are like 'real' people, real life too. Love Holderisms but also love Joel too, such a sexy man! Ha ha Joel, we lived in Texas for a bit too and my boys were in middle school, non segregated, and also came back to Canada with Texas expressions like "I'll slap ya upside yer head' and " I'll jack your jaw" LOL.

[@on-the-way222]

Loved the ending. The Killing was great! I don't know how it wasn't a big hit on AMC but I noticed that on Netflix it was less censored so it seemed more real. I wish that Netflix did it from the beginning.

[@FlyBoyKhi]

Damn good show.

[@debrarotas1868]

I just went back and watched it, I was excited that I got more from it or just as much. Binge watching on Netflix is the most fun 🤩

[@Rembrandt133]

Is it just me, or when I first saw "Holder" on The Killing, and heard him speak, I immediately thought of Snoop Dogg! Lol, does he not kind of resemble Snoop, being lanky, tall, talking gangsta like? I love Snoop and his raps...so its all good. ;)

[@kreyna80]

Hope this lovely man was able to see this role development gives alot more than any other role in my opinion. Need new seasons, creative writing is here already, what's the hold up Holder?

[@christinas9455]

6:09 Just what I wanted to know. Thought he was American by how he played his characters in Robo Cop, The Killing and Run All Night. Actually thought he'd have personality/mannerisms in real life similar to those characters. To learn he was born and raised in Sweden I looked for videos to see the evidence. It makes sense he grew up bilingual with an American parent, but still, what did he pull from to create Holder? I would think he was exposed to more American culture for him to come off soo natural. His story about him in High School helps put it all together. Thanks!

[@MrFelixify]

" I would think he was exposed to more American culture for him to come off soo natural." You don't understand Sweden :) All our tv, music and movies is American. Mcdonalds have the most resturant per capita in the world in Sweden. All tv shows is subtitled. And we actually learn both American english and english from the age of 7 years old. sure, her spent one ear in Texas, but i doubt that made him speak with an american accent. Listen to Alexander Skarsgård speak. no accent. It's just Swedes when coming to the states, they speak with an american accent. Listen to Zara Larsson speak. listen to Klara and Johanna in First Aid Kit speak. They all have perfect american accents and are raised in Sweden.

[@dcsmith2473]

they need to do more seasons of the killing it was great!!!
