In just four episodes sent to critics, The Man Who Fell to Earth is at least two or three somewhat different shows, and there’s a tonal whiplash that can be perplexing. But thus far a delightful performance from Chiwetel Ejiofor holds the series together in ways that remain entertaining and full of potential.

Kurtzman and Lumet’s “Man Who Fell to Earth” is at its most intriguing during such clashes of tone, or more simply, at its most bizarre. ... “The Man Who Fell to Earth” falls prey to one of current TV’s most tired clichés of opening in the future before flashing back to explain how it happened. In fact, knowing that Farraday convinces the world that he’s an otherworldly genius before we understand how deflates a good deal of the tension out of the show before it even starts.

Just watched the pilot, and I'm giving it a high score for now until I see how it develops, cause I am pleased so far. It's weird at times but in a good way...
I don't trust Kurtzman, but I do trust Bill Nye

Convoluted plot, characters, and production. Slow and time-line split doesn't help at all. Really not much good to say about this series. Recommend you skip it entirely.

It starts out somewhat interesting, but by episode 5 it is barely watchable. It gets too complicated and too far up its own behind.

Technically not "bad" or "wrong" in any way, but worse -- Boring. Predictable. No surprises. No challenges for the audience. Everything that's wrong with TV today. Why should I care? Don't bother unless you just want some background noise while working

Seems slightly interesting at first, but turns into a total cringefest. Middlebrow and cliched. Watch the original movie and skip this.
