can u believe I changed my name – nah! it’s still Torrid – that’s what I am and that’s my name hockey beyotches!!!
It’s great that some people here enjoy The Killing, but please don’t presume that it represents “quality”, “excellent drama” and makes all of us “think”. If that’s the case for you individually, then again, great. There are many people who would have loved to have found those qualities in this show, but didn’t. There’s nothing wrong with either perspective, but there is something wrong with assuming things about people who don’t agree with you.
Imo, critic Mo Ryan did a good job of summing up some of the reasons that some fans were dissatisfied with the show:

Love, love The Client List, glad it’s steady and should definitely be back for Season 2.
I’m also pleased so many people enjoy FX movie repeats like I do!! Love FX!
Does anyone know the ratings of Treasure Island on saturday on syfy. I know it got about 2 million viewers per episode in the UK on sky
@Desros: Treasure Island Pt 2 averaged 881,000 viewers Sat. from 9-11p
Veep sucks. Girls is like Enlightened, good press but nobody is watching. Why does HBO cancel the good shows and put crap on instead?
