根据前四集的评价，尽管主创和演员阵容强大，这部剧却未能充分发挥其题材潜力。[1]剧评指出，该剧存在创意不足、叙事冗长等问题，两位主角之间缺乏足够的化学反应，剧本表现生硬刻板。[1]在目前放映的预览剧集中，实际上没有包含真正的浪漫场景。[1]故事描写修女Anna在修道院生活超过20年后离开修道院，向牧师表白自己的感情。[1]
British writer Jack Thorne's television drama Falling centers on a forbidden romance between a nun and a priest, starring Keeley Hawes as Sister Anna and Paapa Essiedu as Father Hicks [1]. The series airs on ABC with new episodes premiering each Sunday at 9:05 p.m. [1], and is directed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Peter Hoar [1].
Despite assembling an accomplished creative team and cast, critics found the drama lacking in originality and emotional depth [1]. The storyline follows Sister Anna's departure from the convent after more than two decades of monastic life, when she confesses her feelings to Father Hicks [1]. However, reviewers noted that the first four episodes—the basis for initial assessment—contain no actual romantic scenes [1]. The narrative is criticized for being unnecessarily drawn out, with the lead characters displaying little chemistry and dialogue that feels stilted and formulaic [1].
