The Rain tries hard and you can sense that there's so much potential there but it feels a bit of a misfire unfortunately for what could be a really compelling watch.May 07, 2018
It all sounds (and looks) rather promising but I can't work up the enthusiasm, and the other teen survivors are less than charming.May 03, 2018
The Rain is, yes, another post-apocalyptic thing, it's different enough to entice even a jaded genre viewer into yet another grim dystopia.May 07, 2018
From what we've seen so far, The Rain is so much more than 'The Walking Dead with teens' - it's a satisfyingly full-blooded and handsomely filmic series that justifies the hype.May 03, 2018
But what The Rain lacks in originality it makes up for by remixing elements of YA fiction, postapocalypse drama, and cli-fi into a gripping kind of mashup.May 07, 2018
The overall story, which sometimes feels like a cross between Contagion and The Walking Dead, isn't particularly original... But this doesn't stop The Rain from being entertaining.May 02, 2018
A dystopian Danish drama driven by conspiracy fears and environmental catastrophe. [...] The three leads [...] are exceptional.May 07, 2018
The enigmatic Beatrice (Angela Bundalovic) is a standout, as we come to realize she's far more than a doe-eyed damsel in distress.May 04, 2018
The Rain never gets to the point where you're pulling for the water droplets, but this is one barren wasteland that makes it difficult to care about anything other than surviving it.May 07, 2018
Moments like these are both heartbreaking and thrilling, driving the plot forward in tandem while exposing the characters' deepest vulnerabilities.
