Why did no one tell me how good The Fall was?

I've just watched the first two series in the past 3 days and I was completely hooked. Is there any chance of a third series do you think? Or would it be a bit rubbish like Broadchurch? Or is Jamie Dornan too big a star now?

Yes I think they said there was a third, but not sure if it was a follow on. Brilliant and creepy at the same time. Great acting and story line. I need to know what happened to katerina

Luciferbox · 25/02/2015 20:41

I've just watched series 2 over a couple of days. It was brilliant.

scratchandsniff · 25/02/2015 20:44

I can't imagine there will be a third as Jamie Dornan's character met his demise.

One of the best series that's been on TV in a very long time. Done more for his acting credibility than 50 shades.

Griphook · 25/02/2015 21:32

His acting is brilliant, and really chilling. it was quite difficult to watch some of the scenes.

SlightlyJadedJack · 26/02/2015 17:33

Ah but did he scratchandsniff? Didn't it end with her saying we're losing him but we didn't actually see him die.

I know he was probably offered a massive wad of cash to do 50 SOG but I think he should have held out for something with a bit more class. Thought he was amazing in it. In fact I thought everyone in it was excellent.

scratchandsniff · 27/02/2015 20:04

Hmmm I remember him looking pretty damn dead but you never know. I'm not sure where the storyline could go now that he's been caught.

oneowlgirl · 28/02/2015 13:52

He was definitely dead, but I'd love a 3rd series with Gillian Anderson heading up another investigation - she was ace!

SlightlyJadedJack · 28/02/2015 19:53

OK so you both just had me doubting what I watched so I googled it! . All the results say we don't know what happened and it was left as a cliffhanger.

hollyisalovelyname · 01/03/2015 10:20

I thought it was a cliffhanger too.
I thought Gillian was a little too concerned about Jamie and not concerned enough about the poor policeman handcuffed to him

oneowlgirl · 01/03/2015 10:57

I thought for sure he was dead at the end of it!

SlightlyJadedJack · 01/03/2015 14:05

Well you would be wouldn't you holly, I mean it's very important that your prime suspect is kept a live for debriefing .

We live in hope that he survived owl!

scratchandsniff · 01/03/2015 14:10

Hmmmm so maybe they could have a third series..........

FireflyLight · 01/03/2015 15:49

?@JamieDornan "@JennyJohnsonHi5 I LOVE The Fall!!! Gives me a big 'ol TV boner. Will there be a third season?" Thank you. Potentially more boners to come.

I've yet to see it but it is on my must watch when I get round to it list.

oneowlgirl · 01/03/2015 18:05

Oh wow!

SlightlyJadedJack · 01/03/2015 18:46

Yay!!!!

OP posts:

scratchandsniff · 01/03/2015 21:16

Just hope we have to wait as long as we did between series 1 & 2.

Don't see where the storyline could go though.

Sandancer · 10/03/2015 18:20

Just read on Twitter the bbc has confirmed Jamie Dornan and Gillian Anderson WILL be making series 3 to air next year!

oneowlgirl · 10/03/2015 20:57

I just read it in the Belfast Telegraph - excellent! [Although I really did think he was dead!!]

hollyisalovelyname · 10/03/2015 21:01

So Jamie lives !!!
In Ireland at the moment there is a court case ongoing.
Shades of 'The Fall'
All over the Irish papers.
Graphic headlines.
Really,really sad. For the victim and her family and friends, the accused and his family and friends.
Real life sometimes stranger than fiction.

oneowlgirl · 10/03/2015 21:33

Where's that Holly? That's not something I've heard of. Horrible all round & that's what I think made The Fall so scary in season 1, ie that he seemed a perfectly normal family man with a nice wife & children & could literally be your next door (v fanciable!) neighbour.

hollyisalovelyname · 11/03/2015 12:57

Ireland

oneowlgirl · 11/03/2015 13:13

I just wondered whereabouts in Ireland as it wasn't a case I'd heard of.

squoosh · 11/03/2015 15:36

Can't believe they're making a third series, the second was absolutely dire!

lisbapalea · 11/03/2015 16:22

Just saw a link on the BBc website to a trailer for series 3 on iplayer. Haven't been able to watch yet as I am on a train with the least reliable wifi ever..
