I found this series very gripping and addictive. The fact you see the hunter and the hunted together. Brilliant cast and crew. Gillian Anderson is fantastic as Stella Gibson one of her best roles to date. Jamie Dornan as Paul Spector who scared the jeepers out of me. Over all absolutely loved it.

I found this while surfing TV on night and thought the subject matter was instantly disturbing but the series was so well done I found it difficult not to keep watching.
