Fallen

Was able to watch the series early; gotta say I was surprised with how much I liked it in the end. Had to keep an open mind going in with how things are obviously different from the books, and I felt it was the right call with how some of them played out with the vision the show is intending. There's still the core material that is always the underlying plot/theme it is just now shaped (rather well I might add) more as a thrilling, dark mystery. Great performances as well, regardless of how I originally pictured because of the books. Will say, if you've come looking for a word-for-word re-telling of the book, then sorry, as it's more like the story is severely inspired by the books with some source material hinted at every now and again (still prominent overall)! THE CHEMISTRY THOUGH!! I think it's going to be underrated, as it's still a rather hidden gem of a good modern dark fantasy/mystery/romance.

I'm so glad that this story has been given another chance and turned into a TV series with a new twist. I remember reading the Fallen series when I was a child, and even back then, at the age of 9, they seemed pretty boring to me. I stayed for the plot and angels lore, though. I tried giving them one more shot a couple months ago to refresh my memory before the show was released, and they were as excruciating as I remember. The books mainly consist of plotholes, which are never explained, rapidly changing events, and monotonous monologues. Each villain seems unimportant and characterless.

This TV series breathed life into something that was bland from the start and at least tried to explain a major plothole. I hope there will be season 2!

This show is absolutely great in every way.

I was so pleasantly surprised with everything.

Great cast, great acting, intelligent script writing that took entire story few levels up... emotional and very well done.

Score for the series is amazing, cinematography is beautiful, editing is great but above else timing and the way story develops, it's like a breath of the fresh air in the sea of not so "good" attempts to make fantasy series that will actually be so good.

It deserves season 2. Or even more seasons I hope.

So, please don't cancel it. There are people like me who loved it and who will love it in the future.

Rare gem.

All recommendations!

Going in, I had no expectations. I approached it with a fresh perspective, assuming it would only share character names with the source material. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover how closely it adheres to the book.

The first episodes do an excellent job of drawing you in. By the end of the first episode, I was already captivated by the theme.

I do wish there was a bit more explanation for viewers who haven't read the books, as I can see some people might not fully grasp the story.

I absolutely loved the cast; everyone did a fantastic job. Gijs and Jessica were particularly outstanding, delivering powerful performances through their portrayal of the characters' emotions.

As for the final episode, it left me eagerly anticipating season 2. I'm excited about the direction the series is taking and hope that the next season is just as enjoyable.

(Also, a side note: could Daniel please get his blonde hair?)

I have a classic saying: Just like every beautiful thing comes to an end, we have come to the end of this beautiful thing. The final episode was exactly as I expected and they connected it to the second season. Luci went to the past and I don't know what will happen. I don't know why the sun-colored thing asking in the last scene asked. I finished the series in 2 days. It really wasn't boring at all. Each episode was great on its own. Only the effects and dubbing that I mentioned in the episode comments are not very good. They ended the final episode early. There are very long stares. Since I have watched many series and movies in this style, I can guess how it will continue in the second season. I love fantasy movies and series. I also liked this series because it was similar to HANNA. In short, I liked it. If you've come this far, I think you liked it too. I was thinking of adding it to my favorites, but I didn't like the effects, dubbing and acting in some scenes. Anyway, we have come to the end of another series. They really did a great job. Even if you don't see these comments, thank you for your efforts. We are excitedly waiting for the second season.
