Programming note: Our coverage of The Fall is of the first two seasons only.
Not for the fainthearted, this BBC crime drama, created by Allan Cubitt, is a sophisticated view of serial murder from two perspectives: a female detective, and the killer himself. And neither one is what you'd expect. Gillian Anderson plays Stella Gibson, The Fall's unflinching lead investigator. Jamie Dornan portrays enigmatic psychopath, Paul Spector. Assists from John Lynch, Archie Panjabi and Ian McElhinney round out the subversive cast. The Fall manages to give you everything you want out of this kind of story but never in the way you expect you're going to get it. Did we mention Gillian Anderson is in it?
