Celluloid Verdict
Gillian Anderson’s Stella Gibson hunts Jamie Dornan’s Belfast killer in a series far more interested in male violence than in the chase.

Critic Reviews
The Fall (2013) Review: A Chase Without a Mystery
★★★★☆
The Fall is Allan Cubitt's chilling Belfast serial-killer drama, with Gillian Anderson's detective hunting Jamie Dornan's killer across three tense seasons.
Yes, with reservations. A cool, intelligent crime drama for adults who can handle disturbing violence, though the final season loses much of the grip.
