Anyone else watching "The Fall" with Gillian Anderson?

[Nye Bevan]

Absolutely compelling. Once you start, it's hard to stop. Anderson is absolutely terrific and Jamie Dornan super-creepy. Highly recommended for Netflix binge-watching.

1. I wasn't sure it could sustain a second season, but it did.

Great show.

5. There is talk of a third season... I hope they do.

[Skittles]

6. already watched it

love Jamie Dornan

[Tom Ripley]

7. It is very well done

The characters named after guitar manufacturers is a sly little bonus

[Frank Cannon]

8. I thought the first season was good.

But the second season was GREAT.

It also led me to watch Broadchurch, which is also streaming on Netflix. And that was even BETTER.

[Nye Bevan]

9. Broadchurch is next on my list.

Based on how quickly I'm getting through "The Fall", it's not long to go.

10. Wait til you find "The Missing"....

That's my current fav.

[Tom Ripley]

20. +1 I especially like (SPOILER ALERT)...

[Liberal_in_LA]

14. just read some reviews. highly rated but story isnt tied up in season one

That drove viewers crazy, me included, with that other series _ The killing.

[bikebloke]

15. In the middle of Season One.

I'll watch another episode tomorrow night. Very good.

[Agschmid]

16. I loved it! Couldn't stop.

17. If you liked "Broadchurch," try "Happy Valley"

It's about a policewoman who is obsessed with getting the man whom she blames for her daughter's suicide. Her remaining family is a mess to the extent that the only person with her head on straight is her sister, a recovering heroin addict (played by Siobhan Finneran, who was O'Brien on Downton Abbey).

Also, try the original Life on Mars (available on Hulu). The basic plot is the same as the mediocre American remake, but it's much edgier. It stars John Sims, who played The Master in one season of Doctor Who, and Philip Glenister (hilariously raunchy and knuckle-dragging) in the role that Harvey Keitel had in the American version.

Incidentally, if you can tolerate the commercials, Hulu Plus is becoming one of the best sources for British TV old and new. It has the entire runs of classic Doctor Who, Inspector Morse, MI-5/Spooks, New Tricks, Whitechapel, Scott and Bailey, Line of Duty, Waking the Dead, Kingdom, A Touch of Frost, and a host of other dramas, comedies, and documentaries that have never appeared on PBS.

19. Another recommendation for "Happy Valley"

It was outstanding.

[Lex]

18. Just watched Ep 1 of Season 1.

It was recommended to me because I liked "Broadchurch" so much.

[Still Blue in PDX]

21. I'm so glad I clicked on this thread!

I loved season 1 of The Fall, and now I have Happy Valley to add to my list as well.

I haven't watched Netflix since we had to put down my fur baby snuggle buddy because her chronic kidney disease got so bad. We binge watched a lot of British mysteries together, my little Staffie and I.
