Have any of you seen the series THE FALL? (Acorn series is association with the BBC.)
It is mainly filmed in Belfast, Ireland. Gillian Anderson plays a "supposedly" savvy detective who is trying to capture a serial killer played by Jamie Dornan. He is very creepy and plays a killer who stalks and kills women of a certain type. He is also a married man with two children.
I’ve seen the first two seasons, and I plan on ordering the third and final season which was shown in October 2016.
This series moves very slowly, and at times, I think very clear clues are overlooked, but it still holds my attention. Dornan is slimy, scary and very good. Gillian Anderson seems cool, collected and rather cold. I guess that is her character, but sometimes I want to pinch her to make her emote a little more. I’ve enjoyed the secondary characters.
Anyone else viewed this series?
I love this show.
Series 3 became available on Netflix recently and I watched the whole thing.
The Ending was somewhat unexpected, but worked for me.
My only hope is that a new series is commissioned with her character having to tackle a new case.

I too have enjoyed the show very much, and I hope her character continues. She may seem cold, but a lot is going on under the surface. I thought the 3rd season was excellent.

"What an absolute shower." Huh? Is that British speak? I hate to reveal my ignorance, but I haven't got a clue what that means.
joanie, look up Terry-Thomas on you tube. School for scoundrels, (watch the tennis match  ) and Privates Progress (where he says What an absolute shou- arrrr!

“The Fall” was one of the best things on TV for ages.
Anderson & Dornan were terrific and kept me glued, nay...mesmerised throughout!
The tension and the atmosphere were just incredible.
That last episode had me shouting out. WOW!
If you enjoyed this, you MUST catch up with another big BBC Hit..”Happy Valley”.
Set in the Calder Valley region of West Yorkshire (the local police call it Happy Valley,because of the drug problems they have to deal with there.), it centres on the local Police Force and the effects their job has on their personal lives.
In an amazing cast, Sarah Lancashire is outstanding as the harassed sergeant, who has to deal with (amongst other things),a psychopathic thug threatening her and her family (James Norton).
Two series, so far, and a third one is promised.
I for one, can’t wait.

Glad to hear new voices that enjoyed this series. I’m excited to see Season 3. Sorry, I don’t have
Netflix. (Bill, homework is delayed too.)
To me in Season 2, there was one obvious clue that would have lead Gillian to the killer much sooner, and it was ignored. However, it did extend the season into 6 episodes. I’ll try to black it out.
The killer’s daughter and wife saw him on TV. He and his daughter were walking into a park where he was really following his next victim. The wife said he had to go to the police, which he did. A detective told him to WRITE up his observations, and he just started writing. Wait a minute. If I remember correctly, he had already sent a letter to a victim’s father. They had that letter. Also, the killer just sat down and wrote his observations. No one ever compared his writing to the father’s letter. It seemed like a very obvious clue to me.
Thanks for the recommendation of Happy Valley. Looks good.

Huey stand up. Thats no excuse. All you had to do was type terry-thomas tennis match on youtube. Its listed there for 3 and a half minutes. Thats three and a half minutes out of your whole week Huey. Now you get it done and we will worry about your school report later. Now Sit down... Ok class, we will now turn to page 23 of your language book, chapter 4, English wot i writ.

) On the other hand, the killer is rather pervy, so you might find a brother-in-arms.
