Trivia
Gillian Anderson declared that Stella Gibson is her favourite among all of the characters she has performed, even more than Scully from X-Files : Aux frontières du réel (1993).

Goofs
Although the action develops during a month or so, Spector's daughter, Olive, is visibly getting older from one season to the other.

Quotes
Stella Gibson: That's what really bothers you, isn't it? The one-night stand? Man fucks woman. Subject man, verb fucks, object woman. That's okay. Woman fucks man. Woman subject, man object. That's not so comfortable for you, is it?

Great show

I have really enjoyed the first 2 episodes. It is interesting, dark and detailed with real people and real issues. It unfolds slowly but surely but inevitably.

It is set in Belfast and always has a dark feel.

The script takes the time to detail all of the lives of the main characters not just gloss over them.

The UK knows how to tell a great story with realism.

The cast is very strong and Gillian Anderson is outstanding in this different style of role.

Well worth watching.
