What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Falling builds its romance through shared glances, charged conversations and small moments of closeness within church routines. The pace is measured, the feeling tender and aching rather than showy. Working side by side gives the nun and priest room to grow close, but each gesture carries the weight of vows neither has stopped believing in.

Their faith remains sincere even as their feelings deepen, making desire more complicated than a simple rebellion against religious life. Guilt and doubt enter a bond that could cost them their calling, their community and their sense of who they are. Told as one continuing miniseries story, the drama follows the choices each must make about love and belief.
