The Killing season 1 finale didn’t get the best reactions from the fans. And now, creator Veeda Stud answers the questions raised against it.
The showrunner sounds out of touch with the criticism being leveled at a conclusion that did not reveal Rosie’s killer, but did randomly turn Holder evil. Check out what she told The Hollywood Reporter this week.
“It’s a good feeling to know people are watching and talking about the show. I mean, the last time I felt this personally myself, and saw this type of reaction, was when The Sopranos ended its run. If the show can be in that company, it’s a deep compliment.”
Additional things to consider:
- The Sopranos is not considered an all-time great due to how its finale left viewers in the dark over Tony’s fate. Its reputation was built long before that, through tense, unique, gritty, emotional storytelling.
- Sud appears to have fallen into the same trap as countless screenwriters since The Sixth Sense. The goal is not to shock just for shock value; it’s not to base an entire film or season on an unexpected reveal. The goal is for that reveal to be a rewarding, logical payoff to a well-planned, well-paced story.
For those who have given up on this show Sud has something to say for you: “I want to let people know and assure fans that they will know who killed Rosie Larsen in Season 2.”
