    I'd say that The Fall is a deeply moral crime thriller, but that description is too boring for a drama that's electric with suspense and erotic tension and pulpy cliff-hangers. Anderson's performance is riveting.

    The stately new season unfolds as though it has never heard the phrase “hurry up,” closely tracking a serial killer who is no longer killing, a police department that makes no mistakes, and a narrative that contains no red herrings.

    Frankly put, [Jamie Dornan's Spector is] boring, and not in the fascinating way the show itself can be in its aforementioned moments.... Luckily, Anderson is there to save him, both as an ideal to strive for--as fans will see in the season's 90-minute finale--and a redeeming grace for the show.

    Second season is a big let down, the characters turn into stereotypes and the pacing of the whole thing slows to a crawl. Really, you could edit down the 6 hours of season 2 into a 120 minute film and not miss much.    … Full Review »

    Life is too short to spend 60 minutes watching this very slow moving drama. The acting was good, and some parts were enjoyable, but by theLife is too short to spend 60 minutes watching this very slow moving drama. The acting was good, and some parts were enjoyable, but by the time they revealed the killer in the 1st episode, which I had already made a guess at, since it was so obvious, I no longer cared who it was. I was hoping for a twist or two, to make me think "Oh, the killer could also be . . . " but nope. There is is. Killer revealed in 60 minutes. a looooooooooooooong 60 minutes. This one had me wishing for comercials. Anything to break up the monotony. No such luck. The monotony was only broken by the episode ending. Ugh!… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. I really enjoyed the first season and the the first three episodes of season 2, in the fourth, at the hospital, why the police don't get him instead of hiding ?!?! C'mon it's a serial killer and you know he's coming and you do nothing, Here the show looses all the credibility that however was already creaking.

    The script-writers could do better.    … Full Review »
