More Critic Reviews for Falling Water Season 1 All Critics (19) | Top Critics (11) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (14) The sole appeal upon which Falling Water relies is mystery, and I'll admit that after watching I do want to learn the answers to the questions the plot has posed. But I don't wish for the answers so much that I'll sit through another hour. Oct 13, 2016 | Full Review… Spencer Kornhaber The Atlantic Top Critic The idea of dream-traveling isn't new - see 1984's Dreamscape - but this is a good-looking and intriguing reworking of the premise. Oct 13, 2016 | Rating: B | Full Review… Tom Long Detroit News Top Critic Falling Water is a hollow puzzle box. It is a twisting, turning show that centers on dreams but completely loses the required balance of a series like this one: don't just present new questions, give us a few answers too. Oct 12, 2016 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic The performances are solid and the production values also make the grade under the direction of show-runners Gale Anne Hurd (who spent a season on The Walking Dead) and Blake Masters (Brotherhood). Oct 12, 2016 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic If you're feeling burned TV series after TV series that plants a central mystery and then dances around it for too long to sustain interest, proceed here with cautious optimism. Oct 27, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Allison Keene Collider Intriguing but irritatingly opaque, this drama traffics in dreamy imagery and surreal plot developments that seem cobbled together from other mysteries. Oct 18, 2016 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media We don't expect answers to the series' biggest questions yet, but we should at least know what the characters are striving for collectively and what's really at stake here. Otherwise, it's hard to really care about what happens each week. Oct 14, 2016 | Full Review… Daniel Johnson ScreenRant The problem with Water is that it keeps promising revelations that are constantly withheld, as though we might not keep watching if the show tipped its hand about what all this dream investigation is really about. Oct 13, 2016 | Full Review… Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV The only thing that's crystal clear is that this won't be a short trip, so it's up to a viewer to decide if the show is languorously absorbing or just painful slow... My not goes to painfully slow. Jan 25, 2019 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… Hank Stuever Washington Post Top Critic Perhaps, if one took copious notes, consulted the show website's "About" page... the convolutions in "Falling Water" would yield rewards. As it is, it's hard to imagine finding the time for this dull, plodding thought experiment.
