Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBears a lot of resemblance to the video game series Half Life 2 (2005). There are never-seen alien overseers, with co-opted humans who act as a militaristic police force and proxy governers. A resistance in the oppressed population with sympathizers, as well as those who wish they wouldn't interfere. Furthermore there are large alien structures and walls that create blocks to section off populated areas, with drones that observe the civilian population and can inform the authorities. There are also work camps and prison complexes used as torture facilities.
Featured review
I don't often write reviews, leaving this to more learned critics, but I just had to mention what a successful mix this is of drama and sci-fi thriller. The actors all do excellently, and the show benefits greatly from letting your imagination paint a worse picture due to what you don't see.
There are ominous echoes of our own history here and there, as the occupying forces are rarely shown, but their power is obvious, especially given the traitorous collaboration of the government.
This show really keeps me looking forward to more of the unraveling mystery; what is the true intention of these mysterious invaders?
There are some gritty characters that work well and one feels for the family. The effects are few but shockingly effective.
All throughout the series manages to maintain a tense paranoid atmosphere which never allows you to relax.
I think it's a really good example of sci-fi TV and hope it continues until completion unlike so many promising shows today.
