anyone watch Netflix Orig: The Fall?

[SallyJ]

It's a pretty feminist show, starring Gillian Anderson (x-files) and Jamie Dornan (to be Christian Grey), about catching a serial killer. Season 2 just started.

Best quote in the episode I watched last night: "Female is the natural state of the human race. Males are a sort of birth defect."

This is one of the reasons I have been telling people to watch it for the last damn month!

Oooo! I love shows like this. I'll put it in my Netflix cue. I'm watching Marco Polo right now.

That one and this one when she tells her male coworker to stop slut shaming her. "Man fucks woman. Man subject, woman object. Woman fucks man. Woman subject, man object. You seem to have a problem when the man is the object."

I am binge watching and love it so much.

Plus the whole conversation about what men fear from women is that they'll be laughed at. Women fear that men will kill them.

The second season is a lot more psychological than the first. I really enjoyed both.

I love it. I love that she's direct, and sometimes distant, but that's because she has a mission.

I will admit that Jamie Dornan makes me feel all sorts of confused with his prettiness and his creepiness. So twisted.

I'm adding this to my list since I just finished up the first season of Marco Polo.  NitaX what are you thinking of that?

I'm really intrigued by Marco just being left to Khan and trying to figure out this world. so far, I'm enjoying the politics of it. Very fascinating. Did you like it overall?

I did.  I also kinda love the assortment of badass women since Mongol women do things like ride and are just as good at archery as their men.  Not sure how far into it you are, but there are a bunch of moments of "YEAH YOU DID!" with several of the female characters just taking care of shit on their own. 

It's not like - gripping.  And the Khan is...frustrating.  (though the things about his character that I find annoying are actually historically accurate to the extent that I know anything about the history of that era) If another season never came out I wouldn't be heartbroken like with House of Cards, but I enjoyed watching it.  I started out not really liking Marco very much, but he's grown on me considerably.

I've come to terms with this. His body is about the ideal for me. So much drooling. Every time he was underdressed in season 2 I was very happy.

I feel that I have to point out that this is not really a Netflix original. It's made by the BBC but Netflix has distribution in the US.

I've noticed a trend where they brand shows as Netflix originals just because they pick them up. Looking at you Trailer Park Boys! It's a silly distinction that irrationally bothers me.

But then you look and there's a naked Barbie in his bed, tied up in rope. Fucks with your head, that does.

When more people catch up we need a spoiler thread.

I binged watched the whole series last month. I liked it! It was kind of Broadchurch-like.

[secretlyevil]

I'll add it to the que.

[RoxMonster]

I loved it! We watched it a few weeks ago and I wish I had more to watch.

We are episode 2 of season 2 at this moment. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed season 1.
