ruddy good crime drama from the on the BBC. really gritty, not for the feint hearted. all 5 episodes on the iplayer!



starring the delicious Gillian Anderson still looking as fine as ever :thup:
 
The best thing on terrestrial TV at the moment in my opinion - gripping and intense. Gillian Anderson is fantastic and still easy on the eye :thup:
 
Was a cracking good drama- and Ms Anderson was 'bristling'. Pity it's receiving flak from some quarters for 'glamourising' sexual violence (who knows whether it was actually sexually motivated). I found it absolutely gripping as you know from the very outset (not a spoiler btw) who the murderer is and see him in his normal life. Chilling.
 
sounds interesting- must watch it.

P.S Gillian Anderson was never 'easy on the eye' unless you like small dumpy wummin' :whistle:
 
eh? Maybe small and dumpy (though hardly) in Sculder and Mully days but she ain't dumpy these days - quite chiselled in fact and with some outstanding features.
 
Great series, it's good to see the BBC doing something decent, they rarely get to the giddy heights of HBO series (Soprano's, Deadwood, all time favourite, The Wire,) but I'm sure once they realise it's popular they will 'dilute' it and try to appeal to the 'lowest common denominator' and put it on BBC 1.
As far as Gillian is concerned, she is gorgeous and has been my screensaver for the last 20 odd years!
 
Felt a bit disappointed with the finale but loved it over all very dark and chilling. Anyone watch any of the bbc4 offering? Loved the Scandinavian stuff, the bridge, the killing and borgen. One of my favs just finished in arnie Dahl a Swedish crime special unit type of thing.

I agree 100% with this, both the missus and I felt cheated with the ending, bit of a let down after 4 or 5 weeks of high tension.

That French program The Returned kicks The Fall right up the @ss, much much better quality, darker, moodier IMO.
 
Yeah the returned was really dark. As soon as the little boy appeared I knew it was going to creep me out! Let alone the young girl turning up years later like nothing had happened!
