    • Trivia
      Gillian Anderson declared that Stella Gibson is her favourite among all of the characters she has performed, even more than Scully from The X Files (1993).
    • Goofs
      Early in season 2, it is stated that Rose Stagg has two daughter, the first listed at 15 months. Later in the season, her husband notes 'it's easier with Cody. He's too young to note my distress,' which effectively changes the gender of their second child.
    • Quotes

      Stella Gibson: That's what really bothers you, isn't it? The one-night stand? Man fucks woman. Subject man, verb fucks, object woman. That's okay. Woman fucks man. Woman subject, man object. That's not so comfortable for you, is it?

    Very good thriller
    This is my first review on IMDb but I have used it for years.

    I wanted to write about this amazing first episode I just watched, I decided to watch this because it was a featured item on BBC Iplayer, so I went into this completely in the dark.

    After the 60 minutes was up I came away some what disturbed, this show really made me fell uneasy. The people who made this hit all the right notes for me, specifically in the pacing and the wonderful casting.

    With out giving to much away imagine "A lion stalking it's prey" which has been done countless times before, but in this show it's really frightening and there are some very clever camera shots, particularly the scene with the swooping camera overheard in the house.

    The build up throughout the episode made the end scene ever more scary, once you see it you will know what I mean about disturbing, there is only one out come, scary stuff.

    I really liked The Fall and I like being scared, I hope the other episodes live up to the first.

    Good job all involved.

    FAQ1

    • How does the Series title "The Fall" fit into the series? I can't see how it ties into anything. Maybe, its right in front of me and I'm missing it.
