[QUOTE="Ome, post: 25782, member: 2"] The Fall is being investigated by Ofcom over screen violence. The final episode of the BBC chiller saw killer Paul Spector (Jamie Dornan) take his own life, hanging himself. A spokesperson for Ofcom "We're investigating whether the depiction of suicide in this programme complied with our rules." [IMG]http://digitalspyuk.cdnds.net/16/44/768x431/gallery-1478270053-screen-shot-2016-11-04-at-143212.jpg[/IMG] Though only two viewers contacted Ofcom about the sequence, it is duty-bound to investigate any complaint it receives. The Walking Dead is also being investigated over violent scenes in its season premiere. The Fall creator Allan Cubitt had previously hit back at criticisms over the show's graphic content, insisting that he was eager to "keep it as limited as possible". "I don't expect to be applauded for the fact that there is [only] one woman killed in [I]The Fall[/I]," he said. "But I do think it's of note compared with so many other shows I see, where the body count is astronomical. "You can watch one episode of [I]Luther[/I] and see more female victims than you see across the entire run of [I]The Fall[/I]." He'd also previously dismissed accusations of misogyny levelled at the series, which saw Dornan's character stalk women in Belfast. "If you think that [I]The Fall[/I] is misogynistic... then I would've failed abjectly, completely," Cubitt argued. "My feeling is that people who think about it probably haven't given it the closest reading. "It might be a knee-jerk reaction to something that depicts violence against women. Nothing that I've ever done has been written with the sum notion of degrading or demeaning women." [/QUOTE]
