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 absolutely loved this series. It had me hooked from start to end. I haven't read the books so I think it was a lot easier for me to not make the comparisons in the way others have.

The series was slightly difficult to follow the story line over the first few episodes but that's what kept me so intrigued. Once the storyline begins to unfold it's hard not to watch episode after episode.

It's worth the wait and patience waiting for the storyline.

The last episode has left me on the edge of my seat in anticipation for a second season which I am hoping will be released as I have so many questions.

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.

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.

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.
