#Falling water tv pilot update

I liked 'Falling Water' for its style, for the slow pacing, and of course for David Ajala's character Burton, but once I realized that the story struggles with it's purpose, I lost a bigger part of my interest.

But that would be more a Doctor Who thing. And with that I do not mean visuals like in 'Inception', but in a dream you can change location and time like, say, from beyond creation of earth to your classroom to a cave on the solid center of Uranus. The dream world is not much disturbing or frightening, it's a very finite space like an expanded mirror of our world, which is, at least for me, far not enough to impress. The final episode gives a bit more 'Action' and a nice trial-and-error-loop, but in the end, it's not that satisfying. Most parts of the story are revealed in the pilot, or at least whereto it would go in the following episodes, but after that we do not learn much more, despite we want to. This might be the reason why so many people do not like it. This story still has my attention, though I still don't know where it's going.Īfter episode 10, 'Falling Water' left me with not much more insight to the purpose of the story than after the first episode.

Update 11/30/16: I am raising my grade to '8'. The cast feels like a collection of future superstars. From the viewer's perspective, there is unpredictability-a hallmark of dreams. The differences between dreams and reality are sometimes indiscernible. The background music sometimes consists of eerie sounds, not exactly music. Interconnected clues start weaving the three stories together. Taka becomes involved in a confusing case of mass suicide. A narrator asks 'What if we're all dreaming together?' A man (Zak Orth) is conducting experiments about dream connectivity. Burton (David Ajala) is a compliance and regulations investigator for a high-powered Wall Street trading firm. In real life, she is an artist, a photographer, a discerner of trends in style and taste. Tess (Lizzie Brochere) is haunted by a nightmare. Now USA brings us 'Falling Water', a sci-fi mystery that revolves around three characters. We have seen stories about dreams before. So I started the show because of the credibility of the producer, Gale Hurd, and I will stay with it, bewildering or not. the GOVERNMENT!!!! This was original 50 years ago, guys. And too many that are similar - small town bewildered by death/disappearance of child - mystery to be solved by detective with his/her problems of their own people have mysteriously returned from the dead a plague has ravaged 99% of the earth - and - my favorite - what I have named the British plot - a great terrorist plot is hatched, hero must unravel, only to discover. There are SO many shows on television these days, you can't watch them all. There is a mass suicide, which apparently DID happen, but with someone on the scene who has no apparent role in the tragedy. There is a love affair, which may or may not have happened. There is a baby, who may or may not have been born. There is a dream researcher, who may or may not be a mega billionaire. It would be more accurate to say that elements of the dreams of each show up in the dreams of the others. To say that three people are sharing the same dream, as the first reviewer did, is to put it mildly. You don't have to watch too much to see why. This show is not getting much love from the gurus at Metacritic.
