We're one month away from the arrival of the fourth season of "The Killing," the stiflingly atmospheric detective drama that ran on AMC for three seasons and will now continue on Netflix. By all accounts, the upcoming season -- which will consist of only six episodes -- is going to be the last for this show. But "The Killing" has been cancelled before -- twice, I believe, once between its second and third seasons and then again after Season Three -- so this might be one of those never say never scenarios.

FX's "The Strain" is likely to be the biggest television event in a very eventful summer. Those who haven't read the books and don't know the story are in for something quite unlike anything they have seen before on series television -- or even in the movies.
