    The blunt truth is that there’s a major difference between complicated and cluttered. Falling Water thinks it’s the former but it’s really the latter, a show that throws so many ideas and references (it recalls “Heroes” as well as the cult classic “Dreamscape,” along with “Inception,” of course) against the wall in hopes to keep you numb to the fact that there’s not much going on.

I'm a bingafile and not a profound critic, but after OA's cringe worthy ending, this show made me feel whole again.… Full Review »
