The Fall (tv series)

A BBC tv series that only has five episodes in the first season. It is about a Detective Inspector (Anderson from X-Files) from the Met (the Irish police department) who works on a case for an old friend (Lynch from The Secret of Roan Inish) in Northern Ireland - Belfast. While consulting she discovers that what they have is a serial killer. He (Dornan from Once Upon a Time) tries to find away around all his lies and escape. She tries to get through all the clues to capture him. All in all, I say: STREAM IT on Netflix if you like this sort of show. Worried about getting invested, well see below for info on season two.

According to tvwise.co.uk, "Shortly after the series premiered as BBC Two’s highest rated drama series in 8 years TVWise broke the news that the core cast of The Fall had signed on to do a second run and that BBC Two controller Janice Hadlow was on the verge of green-lighting the second season. Hadlow and the BBC’s Controller of Drama Ben Stephenson have now pulled the trigger on that and formally renewed the series for a second season. There is no official word from the BBC on the number of episodes ordered for the second season or when production will commence, but sources tell me that the order is for five episodes and that shooting should commence on location in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in January 2014. In addition, as TVWise previously reported, Gillian Anderson has been upped to executive producer for season 2. My sources also tell me that the scripts for the show’s second season are already written. In fact I’m told that BBC executives gave series creator Allan Cubitt the go-ahead to begin scripting season two shortly after production wrapped on the show’s first season in Northern Ireland in June 2012."
