Storyline

Reporter Jake Fischer arrives in Bright Falls to interview a resident psychiatrist about his new book. After hitting a deer on a forest road and a series of odd encounters with townspeople, he soon finds himself blacking out and losing time, waking up in the middle of a forest and other locations where he wasn't previously. He also develops an aversion to light, finds strange and elaborate notes he has taken and suspects that he was somehow involved with the disappearance of a local motel owner. As his perceptions falter, he witnesses the signs of a mysterious epidemic sweeping the town. The longer he stays in Bright Falls, the more unpredictable his blackouts and behaviors become, leaving him no choice but to attempt an escape.

User Reviews

AMAZING series!

Bright Falls is better than some of the most popular series on TV today. It does in a few short episodes what might take a full series an entire season.

The performances are exceptional and the mysteries are frightening and engaging. I'm blown away by this series and hope to see more of it soon.

Every episode was truly scary at some point - not bad fabricated scares or horror movie clichés but the kind of scary that gets under your skin and stays with you.

I found the plot really easy to follow, which made the strange digressions and weird encounters all the more engaging.

I never felt like they were for a trivial purpose - there's a definite, frightening order to the way the main character interacts with the townspeople and the things he finds out about the town and himself.

The last episode paid off on all the mysteries set up without telling us specifics and without letting up on the creepiness - if anything, in answering questions, it also raised bigger ones, and scarier ones that make me want more!

Bright Falls is how a series should be!!!
