‘The Fall’ Returns With Mixed Results
AwardsDaily TV’s Robin Write reviews Season 3 of Netflix’s acclaimed serial killer drama The Fall. Starring Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan, the series returns and attempts to shake things up by adding flashbacks and fantasy sequences. Does this shift actually work, or does it detract from the cat-and-mouse intensity built through its first two seasons? Anderson and Dornan return to give the expected great performances. For a full take on Season 3, check out Robin’s review. (The Fall)
‘Fleabag’ is the Best Show You’re Not Watching Today
Amazon’s Fleabag is the best new comedy that you’re not watching. Hell, it might be the best new comedy that you’ve never even heard of. While the streaming network houses one of the most critically lauded comedies in Transparent, other Amazon shows fly very discreetly under the radar. Catastrophe has received acclaim, but only one Emmy nomination thus far, for example. Fleabag’s dark humor is enough to bring people in, but if you dig into this short first season, you will find a complicated examination of one woman’s personal struggle with grief. (Fleabag)
