Summary and production info

The Fall is a British crime series that follows a senior police detective who is commissioned to Belfast to investigate a string of murders of young women. Written and created by Allan Cubitt and starring Gillian Anderson, the series debuted on BBC Two in the U.K. in May 2013, and the current series 3 debuted on September 29, 2016. The show is executive produced by Cubitt, Patrick Irwin, Justin Thomson-Glover, Stephen Wright and Gillian Anderson and produced by Fables Limited, Artists Studio and BBC Northern Ireland.

Stella Gibson (Gillian Anderson) is a Metropolitan Police Superintendent and senior investigating officer tasked with assessing the progress of a murder investigation that has remained active for nearly a month. Seconded to the Police Service of Northern Ireland, Stella quickly realizes that a serial killer is on the loose and she must work with local detectives to find the murderer who has been attacking young women in the city of Belfast. Complications arise as Stella and the team work the case in hopes of bringing justice to the victims of the ruthless killer. In series 3 Stella Gibson is more determined than ever to call the brutal Belfast murderer Paul Spector (Jamie Dorman) to justice after he managed to survive the drastic second series finale.

My absolute favourite BBC thriller/suspense television show EVER!!!
Why on earth isn't there more TV shows like this being made??!?? You'd be hard pressed to find any major US networks producing TV shows like this! ....and why is that??? We need more shows like this (as well as MOST of the detective/suspense/action/thrillers that we've seen the BBC come up with!)
We need more Shows like: Luther, DCI Banks, Wire in the Blood, Scott and Bailey, The Missing, Silent Witness, Prime Suspect, Line of Duty, Wallander, Above Suspicion, Murder in Suburbia....etc, etc
If you love The Fall and need some BBC shows to binge watch, I highly recommend the ones listed above!!! And don't let us down....renew The Fall for a fourth, fifth, sixth....season!!! We are counting on you!! (After all, it's highly doubtful the big time USA networks will come up with shows that even compare with yours!)

After loving the show Luther and now watching this I'm ready to start watching all my thriller/suspense shows from Overseas. These two shows have so many turns and twists, it's the way it used to be in the US two decades ago.
Love this show and hope they have a 4th season. My only complaint would be wish they had more episodes, Europe tends to only have shorter series but I'd rather have great TV than you [censored] longer shows where you can basically tell exactly what's going to happen from minute to minute.

What a terrific series! I stumbled on it on Netflix by accident and have been chain watching it since! I agree with all the positive feedback about Gillian Anderson. I felt the way she played her character was terrific. Hard yet soft, strong yet with weak points - really a multi faceted character brought to life - I kept waiting for American twang and never caught any! I hope there is a 4th season and soon!

Gillian Anderson was phenomenal. Any complaints mentioned about her shows that the viewer completely missed the essence of her character. It was her best work yet, and I hope the series is renewed and I can see several paths the show could follow, but even adifferent storyline like The Killing could work. That being said, the writers ended it in such a way that it was satisfying as a finale, but still leaves you wanting more. Haunting and thought provoking, the show did an excellent job exploring the dark side of humanity, the grays, and what it means to be a good person. As an American who watches crime tv here, I have to say the BBC and Scandinavian crime shows, as well as some other European ones put us to shame over here in the colonies. Keep it up and keep sharing your good work. Again, Gillian Anderson was stunning and subtle and incredibly human. I hope she continues to do serious drama (yes, I was a huge X-file fan).

I think Gillian is doing the role perfectly! So so well! Please continue the show, loved the ending, but saddened though there seems to be no way forward with this plotline... or is there? How innocent is Rose? Said some odd things, weird ending on her part, perhaps she fooled them all, perhaps it was all a game? Just saying ;-)

The show is riveting, but the entire time I'm watching I think how much better it would have been if they'd cast another actress as Stella. Gillian Anderson is terrible. She's stiff and wooden, and I keep imagining how much more I'd care if only a good actress were in that role. What a shame. The rest of the cast is terrific.

Sharon Bryan.....you are stupid and stiff and wooden!!!!
Gillian Anderson is perfect for this show and you don't have to watch it [censored]!!!

I couldn't disagree with you more. Gillian is playing the role perfectly, as it has to do with her childhood and background. She is playing the role!!!! She is brilliant in my eyes, if she wasn't on the cold side and calculating, she wouldn't be able to do her job in this series.

Jamie Dornan looks very sexy even as a serial killer.
This is a storyline is great and so is the acting by Jamie and Gillian Anderson. Please renew for series 4. One of the best shows on.

This Show is created by RTE with support from BBC. The third season has started already last weekend and it was so worth the wait.

RTÉ has nothing to do with this show. It simply has the rights to show it.

Absolutely love this show!! We need more serial killer shows like this! I can't wait for season 3!!

I am sorry to hear that Series 3 is the final round for Stella. Gillian Anderson has this character nailed and I could easily see at least six series/seasons of brilliance from this complex character. Awesome show. Thank you.
