"The Fall" on Netflix

9 years ago

Really, really good show if you like creepy serial killer shows. Takes place in Belfast, N.Ireland. Gillian Anderson plays the policewoman hunting serial killer of women Jamie Dornan (Christian Grey in 50 shades). 2 seasons, but I think they are only 6 episodes each season. Haven't finished it yet, we are on season 2.

I really enjoyed the series. The camera work, the music, etc. The first season is much more graphic than the second. It took forever for the second season to happen so I binged watched as soon as it came out.
My friend is trying to talk me into going to see 50 Shades but I have no interest at all because the book was awful, poor characters, poor writing, poor plot, repetitive....that's enough. I never give up on a book but I skimmed a good portion of it - too predictable that I didn't think I would miss anything by doing this. I thought about caving for a split second because I thought Jamie Dornan is great on The Fall but I don't think there is any saving the book for me. So I have to pass.

I finished watching The Fall a few days ago. It was excellent but intense. The end left me wanting more. I recommend this series.

We finished watching season 2 yesterday. Slow moving at times and some things didn't make sense, but overall good. There is talk of a third season but nothing confirmed yet.

mare - I'm sorry, I hope I didn't disappoint you. I meant to type that I was now watching Series 2 . The BBC runs are extremely short. I'm sure you probably watched the entire run. The show aired in 2013 with 5 episodes and another 6 in 2014. I plan on watching the last one tonight. Two more titles: Broadchurch - another excellent production, top notch acting and plenty of red herrings to keep you guessing. Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries - Miss Fisher is an absolutely delightful Australian detective (think Aussie Nancy Drew). It's set in the 1920's and the costumes alone are worth tuning in to view.

After watching Justified (I am nearly finished) I am on to Deadwood. I never thought I would like it but it is a period show and has Timothy Olyphant playing a similar character as he does in Justified. I adore his character on Justified... plus just looking at him! lol So, I think I will really like Deadwood. Will keep you posted!!

Late to the discussion as usual... My sister was recently raving about Mrs. Maizel to me, but I have yet to check it out. I have recently discovered Documentary Now! on Netflix & really enjoy its escapist silly-ness. It's from a couple of years ago & I don't know how I missed it, but there is truly such a wealth of good entertainment nowadays, I don't know how anyone can keep up. Helen Mirren introduces every episode, Bill Hader & Fred Armisen star & executive producer is Lorne Michaels. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4677934/ I prefer comedy to drama, so I really don't follow the dark & sober stuff, tho hubby does.

clearwater, the "things" "monsters" whatevers…………. they were always around. Whoooshing through the trees and the streets making life hard on anyone. While the blind could not see them and were safe, how did they get food? They were so far from anything. The "things" chased the woman and the children through the trees even with the blindfolds on. The blind would have been chased also, and not known exactly where. I don't understand you thinking the kids would be 10 if only 5 years had gone by when they were born, when they left the house to find the sanctuary.

FYI - The guy who plays The killer (Spector) is Jamie Dorman. Jamie Dorman is Christian Grey in The 50 Shades of Grey movie.

I kept trying to place him when watching The Fall, I 'knew' him from the many 50 Shades ads that have been running.

Maddielee, I knew that when I was watching The Fall, it was sort of distracting. I kept trying to picture him in the C Grey role. I've heard a lot about the books, haven't read them tho. I doubt that I'll see the movie, maybe when it comes out on DVD.

You're welcome. It's hard to stop watching! Season 2 is getting a little preposterous, I keep asking questions. But it's still good.

I agree with your comments Cookie8...I did the same thing after one chapter.........did not care for this book at all.....did not want to waste my time.......First of all...he was a 27 year old, handsome and rich millionaire....so far fetch......this book was for dreamers.....the only young millionaires that I know of are Zuckerberg and Gates.......LOL....the rest of the millionaires are old guys.....
