Mireille Enos in 'The Killing'

After Netflix brought Arrested Development back from the ether of the dead, cancelled TV series, it looks like they’re now eyeballing the AMC botched cancelled series, The Killing.

AMC cancelled The Killing because of some questionable TV ratings, but they sort of did that to themselves when they jerked the TV audience around by not solving the first murder at the end of the first season.  Then the second season, though fans found it acceptable, dragged on with what felt like a huge amount of filler.

But now Netflix and AMC are looking at sharing the cost of production for a third season.  Plus the original core cast of Enos and Kinnaman have contracts obligating them to a third season.

Production, if all comes together just right, will begin early next year and AMC will have first run airing it before it goes to Netflix.

Netflix LogoI previously reported on Netflix’s Halloween or “Horror” offerings….  and I went and checked out what they were offering.  I checked out all 200+ horror movies in the queue.

Sure, they had a dozen or so good, classic horror selections that are admirably some of the best classic movies out there.

But…

Wow, if you’ve taken a look at the list of movies under Netflix’s horror section reads more like the “D” list of Syfy Channel movies.  No, not just Syfy movies,  but the BAD Syfy movies.

So if you are looking for some of these classics, you’re in luck…  otherwise, well, yikes!
