Visually stunning new series isn’t just a spiritual successor to the 1976 David Bowie cult classic, but a genuine sequel that blends sci-fi drama and political commentary.

78 %76 reviews"The Man Who Fell to Earth continues the David Bowie version with care, but fewer risks."
Variety"There’s a tonal whiplash that can be perplexing. But... a delightful performance from Chiwetel Ejiofor holds the series together..."
Hollywood Reporter"It’s a solidly made, issue-oriented sci-if road trip, nothing to blow your mind, perhaps, but not at all a waste of time."
Los Angeles Times"Misbegotten and poorly paced..."
The Guardian"The series understands that what was science fiction five decades ago may be barreling right at us now."
San Francisco Chronicle"The split timeline is a plague on TV, and its latest victim is ... The Man Who Fell to Earth."
Vulture"(Ejiofor's 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."
Salon"The series fails to recognize the key to the power of its source material: its peculiarity."
Slant Magazine"With a cast this strong, it’s worth seeing where this mission goes next."
IndieWire"(The show) stands on its own as a great show with something important to say."
Collider"Chiwetel Ejiofor makes an extra-interesting extraterrestrial, but Naomie Harris is the heart."
Chicago Sun-Times"(The Man Who Fell to Earth) doesn’t offer anything innovative enough to actually live up to its own hype."
IGN"The Man Who Fell To Earth lightens its heavy conceit just enough to make the series accessible to people who aren’t necessarily sci fi fans, and Ejiofor’s performance is a big part of that."
