My dad says that when you need to make a big decision in your life, you should make a list of pros and cons. "The Killing" is coming back for season 2, and I can't think of any bigger decision than figuring out whether or not to give it another chance...
PROS
Sarah Linden's partner is awesome, and I like how he says her name, "Linden"
I've invested a lot of hours into finding out who killed Rosie Larsen, I should probably see it through
People are going to talk about the show and it's going to annoy me, and I'll want to know what they are talking about
"Linden"
I like getting angry at shows for being stupid, and there's no better show at pissing me off than this one
I'm telling you, that pilot was really good
CONS
It was all downhill after that pilot
These writers don't know what they're doing at all
And they're really arrogant about it
Memo to all of the networks: Billy Campbell is actually a terrible actor
They lied to us!!!
It was probably that really rich guy anyway
Are there no other murders in this city?
Do I really want to watch Rosie Larsen's family cry for 13 more episodes?
Let's not forget that they are stretching a premise that could be done in 1 hour into 26 hours. You're telling me this story is so fucking amazing that it takes the equivalent of 13 full length feature films to tell it? One case!
The rain. So much rain.
Their shocking "twists" are always bullshit
Remember after all the backlash how the showrunner said the killer would be revealed a couple episodes into season 2? Well, now she's saying it won't happen until the very end. Are we really going to trust this crazy person?
I have a hard time rewarding people for screwing me over
As George Bush once said, "fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice...you can't get fooled again."
I get uncomfortable that Linden won't just go to Sonoma. You'll have a great life there!
Liars.

I feel the same way about this show and agree with your cons list. However, I asked myself the same question at the beginning of the season for Desperate Housewives "I have already invested so much time"... I guess I just want to see how it ends. I have decided that my decision will be based upon which other shows it conflicts with on my DVR (simple as that).
Despite how much I fucking hated that show towards the end of season one... this will make me watch season 2.
"People are going to talk about the show and it's going to annoy me, and I'll want to know what they are talking about"
I got through two episodes of this show before I decided the killer was the politician guy and called it a day. I really don't think anyone is going to be talking about this show. Most people think it got cancelled or the lady detective moved back to Napa or wherever she was supposed to go.
The Rain is awesome. I'm from Washington originally, so I'm biased, but the people who say it doesn't rain that much have to realize that the show takes place in about ten days or so. It can rain for two weeks straight in Seattle.
I also love how creepy and weird her partner is. When he took the hit of the blunt it was really a WTF moment for me.
I'm hoping the killer is your fiancé, he's a cylon, you can't trust him.
And of course by "your finance" I mean her fiancé.
If Linden does eventually move to Sonoma, maybe she can open a fake winery.
Maybe they'll find the killer in the first ep or two and then move on. I, too, feel lied to.
