A Missed Opportunity: "Falling" Fails to Deliver The latest series from British screenwriter Jack Thorne, known for his gritty and acclaimed works such as This Is England and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, falls flat with its predictable take on the "hot priest" trope.
Despite a talented cast featuring Keeley Hawes and Paapa Essiedu, the show's mediocre script fails to elevate it beyond mediocrity.
Thorne's decision to tackle this familiar narrative was a missed opportunity for something fresh and innovative. Instead of pushing boundaries, he relies on overused plot devices and clichés.
