Three people, who have no connection to one another, slowly realize that they are all dreaming separate pieces of a common dream. Each is on a personal quest, and they use clues found in their collective dream to help them find the solutions to their mysteries, which include searching for a missing girlfriend and a lost child. As the dreamers dig deeper into their investigations, though, they discover that their missions involve stakes that are much bigger than their individual agendas and that the visions they are seeing in their common dream could hold the key to the world's fate.

Critics Consensus

Falling Water attempts complexity and intrigue but churns out an unimaginative concept lacking a redeemable payoff.

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. Go to Full Review Allison Keene Collider 10/27/2016
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Brian Moylan Guardian 10/13/2016
Ultimately the show is too precious by half and too confusing by a third. Actually, it's not that confusing, but when there is no person to really care about, viewers might find it hard to be engrossed in the tangled world that the writers are presenting.

2/5
Intriguing but irritatingly opaque, this drama traffics in dreamy imagery and surreal plot developments that seem cobbled together from other mysteries. Go to Full Review Daniel Johnson Screen Rant 10/14/2016
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. Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV 10/13/2016
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/14/2021 Falling Water goes into a dream world that promises much but gives one big yawn. Couldn't get through season one quick enough. Will avoid season 2 like THE PLAGUE. See more 06/04/2020 It is one of the best series that can be seen at the moment. The narrative is very well plotted, and it travels through the dreamlike in a plot that links what happens in dreams with reality. I am surprised that "criticism" has not been able to appreciate it adequately. See more 05/31/2020 Entertaining. There are no gaps in it. Most of the events are carefully planned so that I can believe what's happening. See more 03/18/2019 Another excellent example of a show the people likes but the critics hated. At this point I think we can pretty much ignore everything a professional critic says because they're mostly shilll souless, lying acks of human detritus. This was a solid series that suffered from poor marketing (more like non existant) and a saturated schedule. See more 03/14/2018 one of the best, but if ur looking for easy thing like teens stuff this isn't what u looking for cos it a bit puzzled and u have to put the pieces together like the Legion TV series See more 01/27/2018 Almost to the end of Season 1 and excited to see how it wraps up. Regardless, it's been a great ride. Not only are the leads great and the mood/atmosphere of the show eerily electric, but the ideas ... so well thought out! I would urge viewers to ignore the critics and give this a good shot. It's better than a lot of the shows and movies that examine dreams and what they might mean. The pacing can be slow, but it works and gives you some time to think about what you're seeing, which is so important when it comes to dreams. Don't most of us wish we could go into our dreams and spend a bit more time taking in the details? See more Read all reviews
