Fallen: Luz e Sombra

As a big fan of the books for many years, after the movie I had no hope and I was very sceptical about the show... Even with all of the changes, I'm very happy with the actors. The movie had some potential but the actors from this show had real chemistry, especially Jessica and Gijs... and they kept me want to watch it until the end. Some changes are good and others don't make much sense... But I really hope we get another season so we can finally see Daniel and Lucinda's other lives. I'm not happy that they didn't stay very true to the books but after everything with the movie, I'll take what I can get and enjoy seeing the characters brought to life.

This show deserves so much more attention. Fallen is one of the most captivating supernatural series I've watched in a long time, with a perfect mix of romance, mystery, and fantasy. The story pulls you in immediately, the characters are layered and complex, and the emotional depth makes every scene hit even harder. It is beautifully shot, well-acted, and has such an immersive atmosphere that keeps you hooked from start to finish. The only problem? Barely anyone knows about it. The producers seriously need to market this show way more because right now, it feels like TikTok editors are the only ones doing the work. A show this good should be everywhere, yet so many people still haven't heard of it. With the right promotion, it could be massive. There is no way this can be the end. The story is far from finished, and the way everything builds up makes it clear that a second season is necessary. More people need to watch this, talk about it, and get it the recognition it deserves. Fallen needs a season 2, no question about it.

I think we can all agree the movie version from 2016 was laughably bad (I mean I actually laughed when the movie ended), so I was pleasantly surprised by how this TV series turned out. I think the show writers took the concept from the books as an outline and created something better. The show had intrigue and a surprise season finale that I didn't see coming. The scenery and videography of the show was beautiful. There were also new-to-the-scene actors that gave great performances (and a great performance from The Last Kingdom alum Timothy Innes). The characters were dynamic and I was genuinely interested in their back stories. If there's a next season, I'd like to see more origin stories for the supporting characters. I think this freshman season was a good start to a potentially successful run.

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.

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!
