The Man Who Fell to Earth (TV Series) Under Pressure (2022) User Reviews

"Imagination cuts both ways."

[bosporan · 9/10 · 15 May 2022]

A slower, more complex and emotional episode, beautifully fleshing out the characters and their relationships further.

The interrelation and history between Thomas Newton, the CIA and OriGen becomes clearer. We learn the reason that Justin gave up her work and better understand the dysfunction in the Flood family. Further, Spencer Clay and Faraday each discover an aspect of Newton's time on earth.

A well told story delivering a wealth of information, falling naturally into the energy technology ownership narrative. There are several fabulous performances, notably Naomie Harris as Justin, portraying a stressful re-living of a painful past experience and a touching interaction with Faraday. This delivers insight into the origin of her saviour complex.

By far the best episode

[Zenmasterme · 7/10 · 15 May 2022]

Under Pressure is by far the best episode in the series so far, it was hard to get through the first three without being nauseated from the horrible writing. Although the writing in this episode fall short of believability, the ensemble of thespians deliver a powerful performance in this episode. Unfortunately we are led to believe Justin Falls a.k.a. Naomie Harris's character single-handedly, by herself achieved fusion. In reality it would be the combined effort of decades of research and thousands of scientists working in tandem, with a budget of about 100,000,000,000+ dollars. They want us to believe in this episode, that without Justin's help, civilization is doomed.

Pretentious nonsense

This episode was borderline unwatchable. Almost painful. If this was the intention than bravo, mission accomplished. I hope this show gets better, because I really enjoyed first three episodes.
