Still burning over that oh-no-they-didn't season finale of The Killing?

Well, you know you're going to tune in next season to find out who really killed Rosie Larsen, or at least what the deal is with Holder tampering with evidence and Councilman Richmond's shadiness, so you may as well sit back and have a laugh with Joel Kinnaman.

"I thought it was very funny," the super chill Swedish actor exclusively told E! News at a private Comic-Con press event for his upcoming alien-invasion film, The Darkest Hour, referring to viewer outrage over the Emmy-nominated AMC drama's seemingly out-of-nowhere cliffhanger....

"I was laughing my ass off," Kinnaman said, adding that he doubts too many of those who vowed not to return for season two will be able to miss out on learning the truth.

"I think people are going to want to know," he said.

As for the last-minute discovery that his character had even more to hide, Kinnaman said that he knew "not the full" of where Holder was headed, but he knew the guy had issues all along.

"I knew he was an addict and, you know, he's not a bad guy," he said.

Or is he?
