Trivia
In this episode Tess is very similar, at first glance, to William Gibson's remarkable book's (Pattern Recognition) protagonist, Cayce Pollard, who also makes a living as a cool hunter, spotting fashion trends before others see them.

Goofs
In the beginning of the episode a female doctor tells Taka he can't park there. According to New York City law, unless there is a "No Parking Sign" or a "Red Zone" which there wasn't, Taka legally had the right to park there. It was a public hospital, not a private. In order for a public hospital to prohibit parking they must have a sign up.

This could be the start of something great!

I hold out hope that USA will be successful enough with what appears to be thought provoking "science fiction", a broad category of fiction that includes everything from fantasy to drama to horror. In this case I prefer speculative fiction.

This first episode has Tess jumping right out of a William Gibson novel (Pattern Recognition) that I love and often re-read, in which the main character, Cayce Pollard, is sensitized to the next cool trend before others can see it. But that's where Tess' character comes into her own, in which her ability to dream, along with two other protagonists, is unusually strong. More than that would be a spoiler.

As there are are no spoilers in this review, I leave it to the potential viewers to take the plunge and keep this show alive at least into another season. Having kept up to date with the episodes through December 15, I can't stress too strongly that the critics' opinions couldn't be–as usual–more off-base; this is a series with exceptional writing, acting, directing, et al. Falling Water is unparalleled to date in this category of television.
