The Fall (2013)
There’s nothing better than being surprised by a crime investigation show with an environment and style that aren’t very typical for a crime show. Gillian Anderson was definitely one of the more unusual investigators, which made me really happy. In any case, the most interesting thing about this two-season small-scale TV show was the fact that it not only introduces the investigators with Gillian in the lead, but also analyses the perpetrators, whom you know about since the first few seconds. And by the way, Jamie Dornan’s performance is absolutely incredible. You don’t see that very often in TV shows.
