Tv drama Falling 1st episode

Keeley Hawes much too beautiful to be believable as a nun

What about the film ‘The Nun’s Story’?

Audrey Hepburn must have been the most beautiful nun ever to have walked the earth.

I found it unbelievable. and agree with you , Allira. that she had been a nun a long time and wouldn't just walk out out. Surely she would fight her demons.I was also a little confused when she said hers was an enclosed order and yet there was easy entrance.Might give it one more chance.

That’s what I thought too that she didn’t appear to be in any turmoil of a decision - it seemed quite rushed. I didn’t feel that there was any chemistry between the couple either.

I was disappointed in the first episode as I usually enjoy anything with Keeley Hawes in. I’ll watch another episode before deciding to watch any further.

The Times gave it 5*....looks like the critic liked it. I was going to give it a go... Not sure now?

The series is loosely based on the story of this couple; she was a Carmelite nun and he was a Carmelite friar.

The couple looked incredibly happy on their wedding day. I'm sure they must both have had struggles adjusting but hope they are still as happy today.

Why can a nun not be beautiful? 🤔

I just thought that perhaps Keeley Hawes was too old and had been a nun for far too long to fall in love with a younger, handsome Catholic priest.

It is Niamh Cusack, not her older sister, playing the part of the Abbess. I'm sure I could move around more easily when I was her age 😀
