    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.

    If you can get past its shaky start – a task made easier by the strong ensemble and slick direction – this space oddity becomes an enjoyable exploration of humanity.

    The Man Who Fell to Earth demands a level of patience that hasn’t yet paid off, and the inconsistencies in its narrative and characterizations don’t provide high hopes for the remaining six episodes, either.

    There's no way to know if this season will land without problems or if, indeed, the story has enough fuel to extend the journey beyond its presently allotted hours. But its confident performances are enough to make us want to see where this mission leads.
