agreed QMC05. Also having only seen an episode or so on PBS, I found the relationship between the teen and main character to be loathsome.

Regardless of the positive critical reviews of this show I found its very concept appalling. The idea of spending so much time in the mind of the sociopathic serial killer makes the viewer a voyeur of sadism. In my view this show, which…

T'was Very British, although taking place in Ireland...Cool vs Hot heads & all. I thought it was a well written script, but a bit meandering. Jaime Dornan was Excellent methought & I liked Gillian, but I have seen her do better. Also,…

I agree with the observation regards Gillian Anderson, and her monotone performance. Otherwise over-long by at least one season.

Yawn.

Irish television did not need a serial killer drama in my opinion. The supporting story around the killers wife is interesting, but even the police investigation side is kooky.

Very good in all ways.

Gripping sequence of five episodes. I thought that #5 would end with the serial killer getting caught, but then discovered that there are maybe another TEN episodes, spread over Series 2 and 3! I am a little worried that the plot is going…

The guy who plays the killer does such a good job at playing a manipulator and total creep, but he does such a good job that I'm literally cringing every time he is on the screen by the second or third episode. When he answers the door to…

Found I was not in the mood. Long term characters and plot. Comments either love or hate, so probably should try it.

Zzzzzzzzzz. BO-ring. Gillian A., did she die before filming this and is being moved around by puppet strings? Absolutely dead-pan in every scene. I fell asleep three separate times on the first disc alone. The second disc I cleaned the…

The last part of Episode 4 was so damaged that nothing I tried to view it worked. Thus, we had no idea how it ended. We went to Episode 5 to try to pick up what happened at the end of 4. Toward the end of Episode 5, the same thing…

Slow, but intense, harrowing, ever dramatic. Seemed somewhat unrealistic, with so little proximate armed security in the hospital, the criminal psychiatric facility, & even the police interrogation rooms. Unless that is the reality in…

The basic story line was good, another serial killer, but Gillian Anderson was the wrong person for this role. For all 3 series, all you see is Gillian with her pouty lips, has no idea how to smile or crack one. This series was a snoozer…

This is an excellent psychological thriller. I have been waiting for Gillian Anderson to do another series. Her accent wavers a little, but she’s great in the role. Series 1: scary, there’s nudity, very bloody scenes, some swearing, and,…

Set in Ireland, this crime drama follows the actions of a serial killer and the detective charged with his capture. Certainly not for the faint of heart. This show is dark and offers little respite throughout. It has the same melancholy…

Really well done, bit disappointed with the ending Enough said

Terrific series. Smart, intelligent characters and dialogue; suspense-filled plot (even though the viewer knows the identify of the murderer); one of the better TV police/serial killer series. Typical British tone (which is preferable to…

A ho-hum detective movie, but then again I'm not a big fan of Gillian Anderson. I suppose I'll force myself to sit through the 2nd series to see how it ends (but not too soon).

Gillian Anderson is wonderful in a well written and well acted, strong role. She's great to watch. This is the first of three series. The first series ends and leaves you wanting more. Well worth watching if you like British/Irish crime…

Looking for a replacement after the critically acclaimed NBC show "Hannibal" got the axe? Look no further! "The Fall" is the closest that television has come to capturing the taut alchemy of "Hannibal": part police chase, part…

The Fall has three seasons. In Season 1 a British investigator is brought in to Belfast to solve the murder of a prominent man's daughter. She discovers a serial killer is at large. Much of season 1 is watching him stake out his…
