It's better than average and closer to very good but it is not very good. Otherwise a very enjoyable TV series

Dream related sci-fi show that revolves around three mysterious strangers, a mysterious child, at least two mysterious organization, basically everything here is a but mysterious. There's nothing wrong with a good mystery, but the most rewarding viewer experience is watching one them getting solved. Falling Water is pretty stingy with those rewards. I watched the last episode felt far too many things were left open. Things that were not even worthy of being kept for a possible season two. There's a lot of new age mumbo jumbo going on and some episodes appear to be just fillers, taking the main story arch not any further. I like Lizzie Brocheré, who does her best to ground the whole thing by playing her character very natural and straight, but even she does not seem to know what exactly is going on in show.

Another reviewer has compared this to Sense8 and I am in total agreement with them. Unfortunately I had recently binged on Sense8 and its Christmas special (that reviewer wrote in October so I hope he has watched the special by now). Like the previous reviewer, I was so enamored with Sense8 that it was very hard to "get into" Falling Water, I felt the character development wasn't nearly as strong as well as a few other things, including the writing and direction of the Wachowskis), but the reviewer was right, it is a good show to tide us fans over until next May when Season 2 comes out. At first I was going to give up on Falling Water for that reason, but decided after coming here and reading the reviews, I should put my prejudice aside and try to enjoy it. I must say by the beginning of Episode 4 I was becoming more and more interested. It's a good show so I gave it an 8 star rating, I would have liked it better had I not seen Sense8 first however.

This review is based only on the first 2 episodes and so things can change, but so far this has me intrigued.The show is twin-peaks+666Park Avenue mixed together in a dream-world in a big City environment with strange bewildering music. In other words this is not for everyone. I think most people will end up on one or the other side; you either love it, or you hate it.The acting great, it has to be otherwise this type of show cannot work. The directing great, light, music, pretty much everything about this show is great, but it is also weird, strange, and really out there.The first 5min or so of the 1st episode my mind went from "crap", to "what the hell is this?" to "crap" again, but for some reason I kept watching and the more I watched the more the show sucked me in.I have added this to my follow-list, but I have to admit that I've not yet made up my mind if this really is crap or completely amazing, but few TV shows can suck me in and keep me guessing, wondering, thinking and keep watching like this one can.This can end up being one of the most amazing best shows of all time, or it can crash and become boring and just weird in general. The coming episodes will tell.
