The series is lacking in quite a few aspects, it has no way of captivating you and by the end of the first episode you don't really feel the need to watch the second episode. It is also poorly acted as well as it is a completely terrible rendition of what could be something incredible.

The Rain was a very interesting concept on the post-apocalyptic genre, a fresh new take! The Rain has its up's and downs, and Netflix definitely had the show going well from the start but it definitely got a bit repetitive after a short while and almost predictable at some stages, where you would think oh that is about to happen and it actually happens. The predictability makes you want to start skipping to the good parts of an episode as you have already unravelled the plot section for that episode. I cannot fault the writers though as the concept and the way the background was given was beautiful, I would have suggested a better main actor as the actor playing Simonè definitely felt lacklustre and rather annoying from time to time. All in all, though, The Rain was truly captivating in the good sections and you definitely find yourself falling in love with some of the characters, and your emotions start to follow along to theirs'. Footnote, I personally found this show a lot better in the subbed version as the dubbed version found the translations to be a bit off in some places and really did not feel as good as with it was the subbed version.
