When Steven Spielberg gives the name to everything (movie, television show, franchise of Arbor), expectations are immediately juices. Every new project from the man who brought us the transportation of blockbusters such as "jaws", "close meetings of the third type", "Indiana Ons: Thieves of the lost casket", "extra-terristal" and "Jurassic Park" bears the promise of extraordinary. When he directs, that promise is almost always fulfilled. When he produces movies, his bathing average is a lot Dear. As for television, it's a little nonsense.

Spielberg actually started his professional start Directed Episodes of "Night Gallery" And "Marcus Wells, Dr.", before breaking with a brilliant directed TV film "Duel" (which was so good that he got a theater release). The first show he created for television, "Amazing Stories" was a mixed bag. You expect a little inconsistency from an anthology series, but it seemed that there was a ceiling about how good the "amazing stories" episode could be. The best of the live group of action was Spielberg's "Mission", but what could have been a classic class on television is revealed by a disappointing fantastic final. For the next decade, Spielberg would be much better lucky with animated shows such as Tiny Toons and Animaniacs before finally achieving something really Spielberg-ESK for the small screen with World War II ministers in World War II.

The record on Spielberg's track as a producer of a pure dramatic series is impressive since then, but his live genre attempts continued to miss the mark. So when he brought a project for foreign invasion of TNT in 2011, created by the writer "Saving Private Ryan" Robert Rodat and boasted "Air" and The Starved "Pete" Noah In the lead, people woke up. How did it come out? If you are a Max subscriber, you can find out yourself!

"Heaven" falls, as Hardcore NBA fans are likely to However Tell You (BeCause the Series was promoted incessantly on tnt during that year's nba playoffs), Premiered on June 19, 2011. As a Dreamworks Television Production Personally Shepherded by Steven SPIELBERG, Cherished Genre of Sci-Fi (With A Title That Recalled Tantalizing moody horror of director director Since the 1970s, "Night Sky"), this seemed to be the only one. TNT certainly surpassed it as it was. And Spielberg proudly promoted him.

The biggest problem with "falling to the sky" is that its premise, which focuses on human resistance fighting a foreign race that conquered the earth, is strongly reminiscent of "V", which was a pretty exciting scientific series since the 1980s. The production values ​​of the "falling to the sky" were definitely superior to those of "V", but there was the inevitable the same state of the actions that the show could never exceed.

At least I feel that way. "Falling on Heaven" stayed in the air for five seasons and received mostly positive (if not enthusiastic) examinations. And, if nothing else, it really is, to some extent, Spielberg's vision. Like Ville said a Hollywood reporter In 2011, "(his) prints are above this. He shaped the script, threw the pilot, tuned all daily newspapers, gave the editing suggestions, worked in the workplace and aliens and spaceships."

As for why Spielberg continues to be fascinated by stories of science fiction, Here's what he said to the TV guide In 2011:

"I just had crazy, wild imagination all my life and science fiction is the biggest way out for me. I love history, so I make a lot of films about history. But I also want to be able to let my mind wander, and science fiction gives you permission to wander in extremes."

At the moment you can travel extremes with Spielberg to Max through all five seasons of "falling skies".
