Gillian Anderson's The Fall
- Thread starter JanewayRulz!
- Start date
I was able to finish it on Netflix this week which was superior to the micro sized screens the youtubers provided me the first 3 weeks.
I guess I'm going to be contrary here and admit I liked season 3, even if it wasn't my fav season. Since season 2 is my fav, I'm really glad they didn't end it after the 1st season.

In season 2 we discover "The Fall" could be related to Father Jensen's fall from grace as the pedophile who ran one of our serial killer's orphanages.
Season 3 shows us that Father Jensen's Fall from Grace is still claiming lives long after the fact; as Spector's childhood acquaintance sits in prison willingly for a murder he didn't commit, as his wife and children nearly pay the ultimate price for his crimes, as his serial killer groupie starts throwing acid into her friend's face, as Jim Burns' alcoholism continues to spin out of control until it costs him his job, as Tom Anderson's nerve damaged arm is now broken, making his return to the force even more problematic, as the lead psychiatrist is beaten within an inch of his life and the lead Inspector similarly attacked for the same sin of hubris when dealing with a psychotic killer, how the lead defense lawyer (in the eyes of his colleague) lost his soul when he tried to hide behind the law as he planned to continue to work to free this killer even after Stella's beat down, and finally as a young delusional man loses his life to a Svengali who can't... who WON'T die without a last grand gesture... a big FU to the Cosmos for the hand it dealt him all those years ago and to the police for their role in ending this macabre game.
Speaking of games, I enjoyed the game of "was he faking, or was he not" and loved the reveal in the final police interview when Spector admitted to his defense team at how clever the police were to find his crimes extended far before the fake amnesia started.
Do I want more seasons?
Well, obviously not any with Spector or Katee Benedetto, but I wouldn't mind seeing Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson again.
