- The basic premise of Before I Fall feels like it was created by a roomful of cynical studio executives trying to create a successful project. The end result, however, while it isn't without issues, also isn't without charm. Before I Fall is essentially Groundhog Day meets Mean Girls, but as a YA drama rather than a comedy.

In 2017, Netflix has spoilt us with time travel Originals. We have had the dreadful Naked and the average Manga adaptation Erased. It is almost trial and error to perfect the concept. Well, kind of. Before I Fall came out way before the other two and I feel ashamed that it slipped through my fingers. This latest Netflix Original is about Sam, who a...
Do not let the first twenty minutes fool you, because at first, the characters are insufferable.
