The best episode of the Season 2, some point are really unclear but I Guess they will give us an explanation, Gillian Anderson is a fantastic actress but her role in the Fall is minor somehow, we dont know anything deep about her character. Its even if she's not the main character, Paul got much more screen Time and character development

Finally!

Finally we have an explanation for the previous non-arrests, and also a glut of arrests! We'll see if they can make any of them stick. Granted, some of the quibbles are still there (for instance no police seem to be self-starters so Gibson has to prompt them). It's been a long time in coming, but the series seems to be coming to fruition.

A few episodes back, I was wondering how on earth they were going to stretch out the story, now I'm worried that loose ends won't get tied up and we'll just end this series in the interview room, ready for next.

Can Spectre do anything with the dirt he has on Jim Burns?

I'm not sure if I like this show or not. I don't mind the pace, but some of the side stories like the infatuated baby sitter just don't sit well at all with me, and seem unbelievable and silly.

Two series in, and we still don't really know anything about the characters. Please give me something to like about Gibson.

Another paedo. story. Surprise surprise. See how the abused become the abusers etc.

Are we that dark as a species that we need this message rammed down our throats daily? Why are we watching this?

The finale needs the bar raised to save this mediocre series.

Chapter lacking all logic

Warning: Spoilers
Great show, until this chapter. Cops spot the murderer and don't arrest him for no good reason, give him endless time and just watch him.

Let him run away and say they don't have an arrest strategy?!?

Who wrote this silliness?

All logic thrown into the trash. This means you could commit crime in Belfast and get away with it as long as the police don't have a "arrest strategy".... Really threw off the whole realism of the show.

Besides this, the show had been solid with decent acting, but the writers just made a mockery of the story and the police.

Try and suspend your belief on this one and the show gets better, but wow...
