More Critic Reviews for The Rain Season 1 All Critics (33) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (27) | Rotten (6) The Rain never gets to the point where you're pulling for the water droplets, but this is one barren wasteland that makes it difficult to care about anything other than surviving it. May 4, 2018 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… Steve Greene indieWire Top Critic But what The Rain lacks in originality it makes up for by remixing elements of YA fiction, postapocalypse drama, and cli-fi into a gripping kind of mashup. May 3, 2018 | Full Review… Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic Top Critic A dystopian Danish drama driven by conspiracy fears and environmental catastrophe. [...] The three leads [...] are exceptional. May 2, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Suzi Feay Financial Times Top Critic The Rain offers a potent mixture of enticing mystery, propulsive action, and most importantly, fascinating characters that aren't easy to pin down. May 31, 2019 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… Haleigh Foutch Collider The emotional journeys of the young people eking out a tense post-apocalyptic existence pulled me in much more than I was expecting because every character is constructed with surprising nuance and balance. Dec 20, 2018 | Full Review… Evan Narcisse io9.com The Rain is some of the best survivalist drama to hit screens in years, even if it leans heavily on the familiar tropes, with exciting, unpredictable and genuinely likable characters that keep you glued to the screen. Nov 12, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Monika Bartyzel Collider The narrative lacks internal cohesion and some of the plot twists, such as Frederik's motivations for his actions, strain credulity. Some characters, like the evil boss of Apollon, are not fleshed out enough to possess the requisite gravitas. Jul 5, 2018 | Full Review… Vikram Johri Scroll.in The beginning of this story accumulates topics clumsily and has characters that do not earn the interest of the spectator. [Full Review in Spanish] Jun 28, 2018 | Full Review… Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) It's not so much that The Rain breaks new ground for the postapocaptic-dystopia narrative. It's simply that it shows how much more ground there is to explore in that great big quarantine zone of a genre. Jun 20, 2018 | Full Review… Sean T. Collins Decider "The Rain" offers a thrilling tale of youths using courage and science to survive. Jun 7, 2018 | Full Review… Randy Schiff Buffalo News View All Critic Reviews (33) Audience Reviews for The Rain: Season 1 Aug 02, 2019 Terrible story line with bunch of teenage idiots KiKi W Jul 31, 2019 Why do they have to make the lead characters so stupid and naive. Slow and boring episodes. Anton G Jul 12, 2019 I agree with everything bad said about the first two episodes and I took the advice and stuck it out and watched the third because you all told us to. Well I made it to 6, not sure if that is a record but I couldn't stand the stupidity and the series of impossible events that glue the show together. I will throw out SPOILER. For a girl who was a teen when the rain happened she has a hell of a sense of direction. Spin her in a circle and she can find the next bunker with no map. You never see anyone take a drink of water. It rains and the sit on the roof top a min later, walk in wet weeds and we won't even mention mist or fog. I was so confused I thought maybe gravity plus rain was the poison. She says her brother's name 2317 times. We call him mouse mouse. I almost turned it off when they shot 3 bad guys who had guns but never picked up an extra gun or even hid them. The ha ha you took a bite of the human soup now you are in the lottery was a forced scene too. I could go on and on, it makes a fun game to drink when she says her brother's name. Joe B May 26, 2019 The characters are so incredibly stupid, its hard to imagine something like this could happen the way they tell it. awful and infuriating. everyone is annoying Henry G May 25, 2019 Super! One of the best series Oliver L May 24, 2019 The whole series seems as if it's voiced over/out of sync... Mark R May 21, 2019 The whole story is pretty bad and so boring. Every single chapter was a suffering. I really dislike the whole characters, but especially the girl who plays Simone. Wally M May 19, 2019 I honestly liked it a lot. Good and intersting characters. But it did have some major plot holes, like WHY THE FUCK DIDNT THEY WEAR PROPER RAINCLOTHES OUTSIDE? When they even had some really good stuff from the bunker. Haha. But still nice and lot of good twists. Alma S May 18, 2019 #The Rain #Season1 I loved it. I identify with the characters. I want the #Season2 Now!!
