'The Fall': Gillian Anderson Stars in the Most Feminist Show on Television

“A crime drama about a psychosexual serial killer who stalks, tortures, and murders young women doesn’t sound like an obvious choice for the most feminist show on television. Especially given that the writers, directors, and producers of that show are all men.
