The Fall (I) (2013–2016)
Tedious... and protracted... I'm done.
7 May 2023
I'm on S2E4 and this will be my last episode. They should be wrapping it up, but it looks like they are shooting for a third season, which is unfortunate, because the story is dead at this point.

Don't know if the producers had too many car payments or mortgages, but as of now they have turned the stove down to the Potboiler setting and have killed what was a semi-decent thing. Oh well.

Since I have more characters to type to meet my minimum, I'll take this opportunity to officially register my complaint against The Stone Face School of Acting. While Gillian Anderson did not originate this acting method (that was Ryan Gosling and Kristen Stewart), she has perfected it.

Seems all anyone needs to do now to be considered a good actor is have and keep a blank or stone face and let the viewer project whatever feelings they want onto the character. We've all heard of lazy writing (thank you Ryan Reynolds), but here, ladies and gentlemen, you have lazy acting.

Okay, minimum character limit met - I'm done.
