Did you know
- TriviaGillian Anderson declared that Stella Gibson is her favourite among all of the characters she has performed, even more than Scully from The X Files (1993).
- GoofsEarly in season 2, it is stated that Rose Stagg has two daughter, the first listed at 15 months. Later in the season, her husband notes 'it's easier with Cody. He's too young to note my distress,' which effectively changes the gender of their second child.
- Quotes
Stella Gibson: That's what really bothers you, isn't it? The one-night stand? Man fucks woman. Subject man, verb fucks, object woman. That's okay. Woman fucks man. Woman subject, man object. That's not so comfortable for you, is it?
- ConnectionsFeatured in Britain's Favourite Detectives (2014)
For all of you that are used to the fast paced American type of the genre and everything that it includes, the directing will seem a bit/quite slow.
But actually it is not because it is very realistic. Real serial, real police people, real police building, with no unnecessary details, no unnecessary high tech gadgets or theatrics. It is purely European (british-irish) style.
So, do watch it for what it is and not for what you are used to and what it is not.
This is an addition for the second season of the show. The review remains the same except the pace of the episodes. In comparison with the first season they have become faster and tighter. The second season is more personal for both the leading characters. The ending was somewhat ambivalent and can definitely bring a third season if so decided from all parties.
Gillian Anderson's performance was even better than the first season. Jamie Dornan's as well. Everything was just as good and a little bit better. In conclusion "The Fall" is TV at its best!
