I loved this show. However, I've never watched the series finale seasons after it was picked up by Netflix. Been meaning to, but haven't yet.

The first season I think is my favorite and the episodes leading up to the final season are also great but there is a lot of meandering at times which really made the show suffer. It did however introduce me to Joel Kinnaman who is flat out amazing in this show.

The gloomy atmosphere of the show was pretty cool, which made it a bit different than your typical detective show. Plus, it was always raining, in every episode! Did anyone else notice that?? :)

I'd like to see the original Danish show sometime, just to compare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Killing_(Danish_TV_series)

Truly a work of art; the characters, the dialogue, the story, the cinematography, all of it is gorgeous...and horrifically bleak. :heart :millahhhh

.........am I doing this right?

Yup. It was filmed in Vancouver, where I live. It's almost always raining here, sadly.
