Amazon Prime adds ‘bingeable’ crime drama to its streaming platform – and urges subscribers to ‘give it a watch if you haven’t already’

Amazon Prime has added a ‘bingeable’ crime drama to the streaming service – and fans tell others to ‘give it a watch if you haven’t already’.

The Fall, which is created, written and directed by Allan Cubitt, hit our screens all the way back in 2013 on BBC Two.

After three successful series, it concluded in 2016. 

An IMDB synopsis reads: ‘A Detective Superintendent from England investigates a politically-sensitive murder in Belfast.’  

The show follows DSU Stella Gibson (Gillian Anderson) try and catch a serial killer Peter Paul Spector (Jamie Dornan) who prays on women. 

The Fall has been available to watch on BBC iPlayer, but the series will be removed from the site very soon.

But luckily fans will still be able to watch on Netflix and Amazon Prime. 

Those who have watched it have rushed online to share their rave reviews, with one writing on Reddit: ‘It’s a very tense watch. Phenomenal performances all round especially both Jamie Dornan and Gillian Anderson.   

‘There’s 3 seasons all of which are equally as good as each other. It’s such a binge-able show. Give it a watch if you haven’t already. ‘

A second added: ‘It’s absolutely great, it’s tense and sophisticated. I’d definitely recommend.’ 

While a third commented: ‘Brilliant in every aspect of a series. ‘

‘This show was absolutely fantastic,’ wrote a fourth. 

Another enthusiastic viewer added: ‘I watched this a while ago and really liked it. One of those shows that I wish would have gone on for more than 3 seasons, but I’m also glad they didn’t drag it out too long. ‘

The programme has received an impressive 85 per cent on the Tomatometer, as well as 85 per cent on the Popcorn meter.

Meanwhile others have taken to IMBD to share their thoughts. 

One said: ‘”The Fall” is a very well filmed and developed story. The acting of all the cast is accurate and right where it needs to be. No more, no less.’

‘AMAZING – the most perfectly executed programme ever,’ wrote another. 

‘Top quality,’ added a third. 

Praising its overall production, another wrote: ‘The Fall is brilliantly sH๏τ. It’s slow, careful and deliberate direction synchronise with the plot and leading protagonists. Gillian Anderson is mesmerising.’ 

The Fall has a star-studded cast; as well as Gillian, John Lynch plays ACC Jim Burns, Stuart Graham is DCI Matthew Eastwood, Niamh McGrady plays PC Danielle Ferrington and Archie Panjabi plays Professor Reed Smith. 

Meanwhile Bronagh Waugh plays Peter Paul Spector’s wife.

Valene Kane plays Rose Stagg, Jonjo O’Neill plays Tom Stagg and Laura Donnelly takes on the role of Sarah Kay. 

Elsewhere, TV fans were left gripped by a ‘masterpiece’ period drama.

The English, written and directed by Hugo Blick, hit our screens back in 2022.

The revisionist Western six-part series landed on Amazon Prime Video in the US, but was also released on BBC Two for those in the UK.

Although it was released three years ago, some have only just noticed the drama is available to watch on iPlayer.
