‘Truly underrated’ thriller has viewers saying it’s one of the ‘creepiest shows ever seen’

After rattling through Love is Blind UK, Body Next Door and It Ends With Us - I'm sure many of us are looking for the next new thing to sink our teeth into ahead of the weekend.

Well, you'll be happy to know there's a 'truly underrated' throwback thriller which has left viewers saying it’s one of the 'creepiest shows ever seen'.

Hailed as one of Netflix's best-kept hidden gems, the three-part series boasts a star-studded cast including Gillian Anderson and Fool Me Once’s Emmett J. Scanlan.

Now, the plot follows Anderson as a detective superintendent who is 'battling her own personal demons' while trying to 'get inside the head' of a serial killer.

Set in Northern Island, the series follows Metropolitan Police Superintendent Stella Gibson (Anderson), a senior investigating officer who takes a look at the progress of a murder investigation in Belfast that's been active for more than 28 days.

With the serial killer - known as the ominous Belfast Strangler - still on the loose, local detectives must work with Stella to find and capture Paul Spector, played by 50 Shades of Gray star, Jamie Dornan, who is attacking and killing innocent young women in the city.

While attempting to build a case, the team are met with complications inside the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).

If you hadn't already guessed it, the series is, of course, The Fall and fans are clearly still loving it - despite its final episode being released nearly a decade ago back in 2016.

Check out the official trailer here:

One Reddit user declared: "This is one of the creepiest shows/movies I've seen.

"I'm almost done with season 2 and I've gotta say I've seen a good amount of horror content, psychological thrillers etc, but The Fall is so creepy."

They continued to say: "The scary and dark aspects of this show feels incredibly realistic and Paul Spector is one of the creepiest characters I've seen.

"Don't think I've seen a pedophile plot line as creepy as the way this show portrays either, just chilling."

A second agreed: "I rewatch this show once in a while. It's so disturbing yet captivating. The writing and acting in this show is truly underrated."

Another urged: "Yes, it's amazing, I really wish we d get a season 4."

"So creepy, but so good," praised a final Reddit user.

Well, that's this weekend's plans all sorted then!
