Jordan King Empire Magazine If you can get past its shaky start, this space oddity becomes an enjoyable exploration of humanity. Rated: 3/5 Jun 24, 2022 Full Review Robert Daniels Polygon An unmistakable urgency pushes The Man Who Fell to Earth — not just in Faraday’s mission and his belief in the ends justifying the means, but the environmental criticism guiding his journey and ours. May 6, 2022 Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com [Chiwetel Ejiofor's Faraday is] an incredible performance bursting with tenderness, humor and the requisite level of oddity one would expect of a being thrust into an unfamiliar place. Apr 25, 2022 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Great series warns of climate change; has violence, cursing. Rated: 4/5 Sep 19, 2022 Full Review Keith Watson metro.co.uk Odd choices abound...yet what does hold it together are the performances from Ejiofor and Naomie Harris, as Faraday’s reluctant accomplice, which succeed in creating an emotional gravitational pull. Rated: 3/5 Jul 2, 2022 Full Review Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network The Man Who Fell To Earth has a lot to say about everything from technology and science to faith, social media, and more. This is a dramatic tale that will make you laugh as much as it will make you think about the world around you. Rated: 8/10 May 18, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

lisa L One of the best series I have seen. Everything from cinematography to acting and storyline. I do not understand why great shows like this are not renewed for more seasons. A must watch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Pierre D What a refreshing show with more depth and a fine look at ourselves Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review Steve P Great TV show. 5 STARS Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/23 Full Review Ricardo A All good untill mid episode 4. Cant enjoy a show these days untill the fuc.....ng woke agenda kicks in... Sad, was enjoying the story and the actors but had to drop the show when someone show up out of context with a t-shirt saying "woke a. f.". I just want to watch a good story with good acting. When faced with propaganda its over for me. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/06/23 Full Review Pinkmeowmix This was so bad. The main guy gets on your nerves so much that is debatable if it's even worth finishing. The rest of cast is good however. Another thing that put me off about this show was how slow moving it was for the first 5 episodes. I actually thought this was going to be so good too! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/26/23 Full Review Jacquelin M Very well done. Great performances by the cast. Specially, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Bill Nighy. Exceeded my expectations. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
