  1. Whelm is labeled as "archaic" in NOAD, as it has fallen out of use. Left in its wake are the would-be superlative overwhelm (which, rather than actually meaning "more than whelmed", has simply taken over its parent's definition) and its opposite underwhelm .

    Anderson plays Superintendent Stella Gibson, a London detective called into Belfast to review how the department handled the unsolved investigation of the murder of a young woman. She ends up being the first to link the killing to a series of slayings around the city. It seems someone is targeting women who are young, dark-haired, and have high-pow...

    The Fall is refreshingly different from other serialized crime shows like The Killing because it isn't a whodunnit. We've known from the very beginning who the murderer is: Paul Spector (Jamie Dornan, 50 Shades Of Grey), a devoted husband, doting father of two, and gainfully employed bereavement counselor. He occasionally slips out at night to stal...

    Paul's wife, a neonatal nurse, was blissfully unaware of her husband's transgressions until he asked her to lie for him to the police. Her suspicions raised, Paul comes up with a cover story that's almost as bad: he tells her he had an affair with their 15-year-old babysitter and that's why she needed to lie for him. Sally Ann tells her husband she...

    The Spector's young babysitter has a giant crush on her wards' hot dad. Things took a scary turn when she discovered a lock of hair from one of Paul's victims that he kept in his desk drawer. He violently wrestled her to the floor and forcibly took it back from Katie, lying that it was from his dead mother.

    Hey look, it's Kalinda! The soon-to-be-departed co-star of CBS's The Good Wife fills much the same role on The Fallas she does on that legal drama... and she looks just as good doing it, too. Instead of a private investigator, Archie Panjabi's Dr. Reed Smith is a pathologist who assists Gibson in her investigations.

    Lurking in the back right corner of that picture there is patrol officer Danielle Ferrington. She was first drawn into the case because she felt responsible for the deaths of one of Paul's victims, not having done enough to protect the woman, in her opinion. She has proven a stalwart assistant ever since being hand-picked by Gibson... who didn't ev...

    Assistant Chief Constable Jim Burns is the man who Gibson had an affair with years ago, and their relationship remains respectful if restrained. He's also involved in some shady dealings with one of Paul's victim's father-in-law — although, admittedly, that whole C-plot is the most indecipherable and least interesting of the show. Hopefully it pays...
