    • 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
      Early 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?

    A Very Intelligent and well written thriller!!
    Gillian Anderson is an excellent choice as lead detective in this series about her pursuit of a serial killer. The show also follows the life of the serial killer giving the audience an inside look that is rare and quite similar to Hannibal, but less dramatic in a good way. Ironically Gillian Anderson also has a prominent role in Hannibal as his personal Psychiatrist. I wish there were more shows like this on television, but I fear that the average person is more drawn to less sophisticated programming. At times it seems a bit slow, but the characters are so interesting it really doesn't bother me at all. I have yet to notice any glaring wholes in the writing and quite honestly the filming and cinematography is excellent! I pray this show is on for many more seasons to come, often though it is this type of show with all its perfection that gets cut short... let's keep our fingers crossed... they did at least get a 2nd Season.

    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.
