This “perfect” Belfast-set serial killer thriller has fans “on the edge of our seats”.
A “very binge-worthy” thriller featuring a stellar cast deserves to be crime drama fans’ next binge-watch.
UTV has started airing The Dark in its prime 9pm Sunday and Monday evening slots, exploring the chilling realm of a detective pursuing a serial killer across the Scottish Highlands.
Author GR Halliday’s From the Shadows television adaptation continues this evening, Sunday, July 19, yet there’s another serial killer drama that’s been lauded as the “best thriller ever”.
Situated in the centre of Belfast, this psychological drama explores the intertwining existences of two predators: a detective hunting a serial killer and the family man who covertly preys upon professional women.
Initially broadcast on BBC Two over a decade ago, The Fall is now accessible to stream on Netflix and features two Hollywood legends.
Assuming the role of Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson is The X-Files and Sex Education star Gillian Anderson.
Meanwhile, serial killer Paul Spector is portrayed by none other than Jamie Dornan, renowned for headlining the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise, reports the Express.
And judging by viewers’ responses on IMDb, The Fall represents “TV at its best”.

A second agreed: “We were drawn so far into the story line – sat on the edge of our seats – this is the most perfectly executed programme I have seen – EVER!
“The Fall is superb, and is a highly gripping and intense thriller”, a third penned: “The Fall will be rated one of the best crime dramas ever in years to come.”
While another observer noted: “This is the best police drama I’ve seen in years.
“Acting is terrific, characters are complex, and the deliberate pacing is nerve-wracking.”
