“This was a compelling opening episode, revisiting all the major characters in brief but menacing snatches and cleverly generating tension all around.”

“This was a compelling opening episode, revisiting all the major characters in brief but menacing snatches and cleverly generating tension all around.”
Gerard O’Donovan, The Telegraph
“Although it made perfect sense that Paul Spector, and thus the whole series, did not die out in the forest, few will have guessed that series three of The Fall would be a medical drama. Yet even as an ER episode it stood up very well.”
Andrew Billen, The Times
“The first episode of series three is basically 24 Hours in A&E, more artfully shot and with a creepy electronic soundscape.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
“I wondered if the new season of The Fall had begun with the aim of providing an extra freshener in A&E procedures. It certainly didn’t begin with the aim of entertaining an audience.”

“Easily the most useless and revolting bagful of grot on TV last night. This show thinks it is Very Important Viewing, unmissable drama, televisual literature. The fact is it’s very missable indeed.”
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail
“Last night’s John Bishop: In Conversation With Kirsty Young was simply superb. Bishop knew what questions to ask and this hour-long, one-on-one format granted space for the answers.”

Paranoid, ITV
“Paranoid could be the most unconvincing police drama ever made. This is more Scooby Doo than a grown-up crime show.”
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail
