As Season 1 of this crime drama ended, a Seattle councilman was under arrest for the murder of teenager Rosie Larsen, and homicide detective Sarah Linden was hanging up her badge—before a last-minute twist. The new season’s premiere hints at a cover-up, generating intrigue as murky as the episode’s unremitting rain. This whodunit’s languorous pace may frustrate some, but the series is deft in playing out the skeins of its tortuous plot, and it uses its time surplus to explore the tangled emotions of its characters. Mireille Enos leads the talented cast. Sunday, April 1, at 8 p.m., AMC
