He does not return these feelings, but takes her and his curious fuel-technician Nathan Bryce as his friends, while he runs his company in the shadows. Betty Jo introduces Newton to many Earth customs, such as church, fashion, and alcohol. However, his appetite for alcohol soon leads to problems, as he begins to experience intense emotions unfamiliar to Antheans. When the jewelry store opened he waited for ten minutes and then walked in. There was one man behind the counter, a small, chubby man in a white shirt and tie, dusting the shelves. The man stopped dusting, looked at him for a moment, a trifle strangely, and said, "Yes sir?" expected, and darker. And the look, the feel, was strange—even though he had known that seeing them would not be the same as watching them on television.

Theoretically, by the end of this season’s ten episodes, four of which were provided to critics for review, we know that Faraday will rise to the level of a new tech god, and as a result, all his affectations and awkwardness — which are the primary focus of the first half of the season — feel drawn out and overemphasized. The experience of watching The Man Who Fell to Earth is impatiently waiting for the next thing to happen so the final thing we know will happen will finally happen, and that’s an unfortunate frustration given that several elements of the series hold genuinely intriguing potential. He felt like a man who has been surrounded by reasonably amiable, silly, and fairly intelligent animals, and has gradually discovered that their concepts and relationships are more complex than his training could have led him to suspect.

Proviene da Anthea, un pianeta (immaginario) lontanissimo dal sole, freddo e perennemente spazzato da venti gelido, la cui popolazione è in pericolo, quasi decimata a colpi di guerre nucleari e rischia l’estinzione.And on the couch, Thomas Jerome Newton now lay drinking, his gin bottle open, his eyes glazed and staring at the ceiling in anguish... pg. 98 The longer he spends on Earth, he slowly changes and becomes more human-like. He enters a downward spiral as he develops a dependence on alcohol, starts to experience major depressive symptoms like loneliness, emotional and social alienation, demotivation, self-doubt, and self-pity. He eventually becomes stranded on Earth doomed a failure. Man Who Fell to Earth capitalizes on who Bowie was and represented. The movie did it contemporarily, the series mines his legacy. During the film’s making, Bowie was in as transitional an artistic phase as Newton is galactically. Roeg let the singer choose his own wardrobe, hairstyle and colors. The series uses Bowie song names as episode titles. When Bryce goes to a record store in the movie, Bowie’s Young Americans is on display. The series dialogue is filled with lyrical reminders, such as quoting the song “Space Oddity” conversationally.
