    • Trivia
      Gillian 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).
    • Goofs
      Although the action develops during a month or so, Spector's daughter, Olive, is visibly getting older from one season to the other.
    • 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?

    Great show

    I have really enjoyed the first 2 episodes. It is interesting, dark and detailed with real people and real issues. It unfolds slowly but surely but inevitably.

    It is set in Belfast and always has a dark feel.

    The script takes the time to detail all of the lives of the main characters not just gloss over them.

    The UK knows how to tell a great story with realism.

    The cast is very strong and Gillian Anderson is outstanding in this different style of role.

    Well worth watching.

    FAQ1

    • How does the Series title "The Fall" fit into the series? I can't see how it ties into anything. Maybe, its right in front of me and I'm missing it.
