    I enjoyed this third season of The Fall, but understand why many found it disappointing. It did not live up to its own standards, and feels like the producers wanted to wrap things up but didn't know how to do so eloquently for one reason or another.

    The writing and performances are very good, but several interesting characters seem to have been lost and forgotten by the show.

    The writing and performances are very good, but several interesting characters seem to have been lost and forgotten by the show. However, the season still ends with a bang and, despite its shortcomings, if you enjoy slow paced psychological content and watching brilliant people operate in subtle ways this third season should, at the very least, pique your interest.    … Expand

    The first 30 minutes of the first episode are intense and engaging, then the pace slows dramatically. Not recommended for those looking for action and speed, the show is dialogue-heavy with action-light episodes very psychological with few high tension scenes. Unexpected ending. "That’s Disney, this is the real story."

    The show seems to be fixating on the energy and effort that goes into saving a life, just as, in seasons past, it’s shown Paul taking them in similar close-up. But plot-wise, it’s a slog.

    When it's firing on all cylinders, though, the third season of The Fall is an unusually meditative, self-possessed piece of television, one that actually earns the "psychological thriller" title that too often gets thrown at anything related to a serial killer.

    As good as Anderson is throughout, her Stella suffers from a Season 3 lack of development--we learn nothing about her in this new season that we did not know from the previous two (apart from a couple of small autobiographical details dropped in the final hour). And some characters who had been important to the series--I’m thinking particularly of John Lynch’s cop Burns--recede or fall away in disappointing ways.
