The Fall (2013-2016)

A cat and mouse chase involving a complicated policewoman caught up in the investigation of a series of crimes and a family man leading a parallel life causing these crimes.

A fascinating series in which we are presented with two very complex personalities in their indirect duel in two opposite roles, criminal and investigator, but both actually just a different type of hunter. Extremely subtle, every detail of each moment is constructed with delicacy and respect for the viewer. Gillian Anderson is fascinating in the role of Stella, an almost cold but extremely calculated personality, passionate about her work, and an almost perfect human analyst. Jamie Dornan is terribly fit for the role, so convincing in his duality that it raises suspicions about his real persona.
It is a perfect police series, but it's not suitable for those looking for speed and fast action.
