All 4 Seasons of the Twice-Canceled Crime Show Remake That Netflix Briefly Saved Just Arrived on Tubi

by

Netflix has become known for giving canceled TV shows a second chance. In recent years, they’ve successfully revived series that other networks or streaming services dropped, often turning them into popular hits worldwide. Shows like Lucifer, Manifest, and Arrested Development are prime examples, and one series was even brought back after being canceled twice before Netflix stepped in. Most recently, a crime drama that disappeared from Netflix seven years ago has returned – all four seasons are now available on the free streaming service Tubi.

You can now watch all 44 episodes of The Killing on Tubi, starting March 1st. This American crime drama, originally based on the Danish series Forbrydelsen, follows homicide detectives Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) and Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman) as they solve complex murder cases that unfold over multiple episodes. The show had a complicated history, first airing on AMC in 2011. It was initially cancelled after two seasons, then renewed for a third, only to be cancelled again. Netflix later produced a fourth and final season in 2014, but it removed the series from its streaming service in 2018.

AMC’s The Killing Is the Atmospheric Slow-Burn Crime Drama You Need To See

When The Killing premiered on AMC in 2011, critics praised it as captivating, immersive, and unique, unlike anything else on American crime television. Many considered it a strong adaptation of the original Danish series, particularly highlighting its moody, deliberately paced storytelling. The show’s atmospheric, rain-swept Seattle setting perfectly complemented the dark themes. Despite a somewhat uneven four-season run, The Killing consistently received positive feedback, averaging a 68% critic score and an impressive 87% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with its first season earning a coveted “Certified Fresh” designation.

What truly sets The Killing apart is its focus on the people involved, rather than just the mystery itself. The murder investigation unfolds slowly, creating a powerful backdrop to explore how a single crime deeply affects an entire community. The show offers a raw and honest portrayal of grief and trauma, prioritizing the emotional lives of its characters. At the heart of the series is the compelling relationship between Linden and Holder, which evolves naturally from a strained working partnership into something more meaningful, thanks to strong performances from Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman. While some later seasons weren’t as strong, The Killing is still a worthwhile watch, especially with it now being available for free streaming.

What’s New on Tubi?

This March, Tubi is offering a bunch of free movies and shows, including the thriller The Killing. The streaming service recently added titles like the 2005 version of King Kong, The Bob’s Burgers Movie, Marcel the Shell With Shoes On, Exorcist: The Beginning, Ad Astra, and many other great options.
