watching "The Fall" to go with my general feeling of grey angst. its good
the gillian anderson/jamie dornan belfast murder show
beyond the inherent misogyny of the spectacle of the dead beautiful murdered nude woman (and throw in a seductive underage girl for good measure!) its gorgeously shot and pretty well written
this show is deeply horny for gillian anderson, which is understandable
it's also deeply horny for murderer jamie dornan, who has a teen girl sidekick. also a lot of nude-corpse odalisques and satin nightgowns, with a thin veneer of rhetorical feminism.
also, everyone keeps physical diaries? like, everyone. was that really that widespread in 2014
violence against women as a canvas for a man's psychological development is a fairly tiresome framing device, although this show is overall pretty good
i can't think of another show that feels more like a movie, with the same central narrative spun out over many, many hours
Honestly at least the central notion that serial killers exist mainly because of police incompetence holds true in this show
