Now I'm up to Season 2, Episode 6 of The Fall. The drama is still compelling. Stella shows emotion for the second time in the history of the show: while watching a video of a capture girl, she sheds a tear. For a moment one might believe she has been a feeling human being this whole time. The police have Spector in custody and it looks like everything is falling into place for the police. Stella, ever the man-hating cunt, gets her man and gets to stand with her boot on his face.
I'm conflicted watching this show because I don't particularly want either of these two antagonists to succeed. Stella is just horrible. She spends her time sleeping her way through all the male cops and, if any of them suggests and substance or emotional involved in the transaction, she quickly shuts that down by referring to it as "fucking". She's a man-hater who chooses to sleep with men in order to exert power over them and demean them.
The worst you can say about Spector is that he kills people.
Also, by the way, the show ends this season on what might generously be called a cliffhanger. It's more like someone just took a script and chopped it randomly in half with an ax and sent the top half to production. Sloppy, cheap writing. The cliffhanger is the tool of a hack. I'm not sure I'm interested enough to return for the next season.
