Just started this last night. The Fall w/ Gillian Anderson. Set in Belfast. She's a detective working on a serial killer. But it's very well done. They show who the killer is in the first episode. There are a couple minor story lines developing as well. They spend time showing each of the main characters in their daily life and personal relationships so you end up with quite a bit of context on each of them. Including the killer. It's on Netflix.

Great setting and actors. Can't say the plot is much different than any particular CSI but it's incredible well done and the side stories keep it moving.

Only 2 episodes in but it's 8/10 easy.

If you liked that, Top of the Lake is good too. I haven't watched season 2 of the Fall yet.

Yeah. Didn't realize they were only 6. Assumed 8-10 so had no idea 6 was the finale. Just finished episode one of season 2. Awesome show.

Dude, the USA Track and Field Nationals are this weekend and you are talking TV shows?

So what is your take on that 400m?
