    Season 1 of The Fall was interesting, well acted, reasonably well written and making the most of the show location, Belfast NI.
    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.

    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 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.Life is too short to spend 60 minutes watching this very slow moving drama.

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!… Expand

    After watching Season 1, the second season is a disappointment. There were many wildly unrealistic events, and the pace slowed to a crawl.

    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.

    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.

    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.
