Falling Skies – Grace
And so it goes that another very promising pilot quickly falters in the confines of full production. I know that it is only early days yet but the fact that this review is so late to being written speaks volumes on my level of interest; as does the fact that I, an avid watcher of first airings, waited until today to finally see this fourth episode of Falling Skies. I had reasonably low hopes for this show, just wanting from it something akin to Jericho – a pulpy but entertaining summer series with a hint of depth and darkness – but quite frankly it is failing to meet even those expectations thanks to minor and major failures from every level of the production team. I have previously spoken about those failures in a general sense but today I’m going to point out the specific area’s in which the show is weaker than a Skitters soft palate.
