George W @georgeblaise May 1 I wish I could say The Fall is a slow burn but it isn't. It's just slow. Who knows how many minutes if not hours are wasted watching someone walk down a police station hall, for example, and open a door. Like dialogue, action should advance the plot or reveal character. Too many moments, especially in the second season, do neither.

Huge plot holes... everything feels artificially drawn out. See more John C @JJC01 Aug 30 Sloth-like and completely predictable plot, bogged down even more by a boring lead character, over exposure to her every thought and action and total incompetence on the part of the police while impossible regular and continued accomplishments and impossible good fortune on the part the the villain. I held my nose for most of the first season at the request of my wife, but after throwing up a little in my mouth during the third episode of season two, I had to quit. Too many other great shows out there to waste time with this trash.

Paul, the killer, asking his young accomplice.."Are you ready to go to the dark side now? Embrace your envy.." These sound like lines from Star Wars or something. Serial killers don't usually talk like this...But there's still enough compelling stuff here to hold a fan's attention; as Paul continues to circle the drain, and Stella gets closer to her capture... See more William F @RT08918404 09/08/2023 I gave up on this series in mid-second season. It lost my interest for the following reasons: too long-drawn out, no engaging characters, clichéed basic plot (serial murderer strangles pretty young women), maddeningly ineffective police work, unbelievable and uninteresting villain, side-lines which go nowhere (the sectarian tensions still dangerous in Belfast: Shankill Road!), irritating plot twists (the murderer becomes the counsellor of one of his victims who failed to die). I finally gave up when one victim disappeared but was presumably being held by the killer, the police had the name, finger-prints, DNA, address of the suspect, and STILL the woman chief detective stood around musing and passive (instead of launching a full-scale manhunt), looking more like a philosophy professor contemplating some conundrum of logic. It can be interesting when one knows who the killer is right from the first episode (as here) but then the chase has to be managed with more tension and urgency. See more Read all reviews
