The chaotic aftermath of an alien attack has left most of the world completely incapacitated. In the six months since the initial invasion, the few survivors have banded together outside major cities to begin the difficult task of fighting back. Each day is a test of survival as citizen soldiers work to protect the people in their care while also engaging in an insurgency campaign against the occupying alien force

I will watch it since it's summertime. I saw it advertised like a year ago and saw something about it last night so I set my DVR. I am a big Noah Wyle fan from ER so it should be decent.

DL it now. This show worth checking out?

I wasn’t blown away or anything, but it was pretty good. This show has a lot of potential so I’ll keep watching and see where it goes.

There is plenty of talent on the show as well.

I am going to watch it today along with the season final of Game of Thrones

Nope!
Watched the 1st 15 mins and had enough.

It was a bad start when instead of them SHOWING YOU WHAT HAPPENED because its on TV and they could do that type of thing they have the little kid telling us what happened. Then its just people trying to survive the aftermath.

No thanks

I am hoping they are going to show how it happened as well and they’ll probably end up doing that eventually. They were already introducing over a dozen main and secondary characters and perhaps they didn’t want to spend a sizeable portion of the pilot on characters that were just going to die before the second episode.

I am somewhat of a tv snob. I don’t think there are really any tv shows worth watching that aren’t on premium cable (haven’t watched Mad Men yet though), but I found this to be pretty entertaining.

 

Oh and I loved how the son called them “clips” and the father corrected him by telling him they’re “magazines.”

very "dark" and depressing, my finger was hovering over the off button but i saw this thru, future episodes look good, theyre going towards "V" territiory which will make it more interesting.

they were rioting in vancouver

I'm watching this show.  I like dramas like this, so I'll probably keep watching, but I hope the show starts progressing in some way soon.  Seems to be the same let's survive/token alien battle every show.  The character development is solid, good acting, but the story needs to start moving forward soon.

So far it’s been just good enough to keep watching, but it seems to have picked up.

Side note: the church chick is hot.

I didn't read any of the posts above as I am recording it and will watch it when season 1 is done. Hope it is good lol

This show is so uneventful. Cheap bastards are just hell bent on going under budget. Sad thing is that it is not far from being a respectable series, but they only concerned about the budget.

That twist at the end was horrible.

And agree with the post above, the budget for this is terrible. They didn't even show the battle between the mercs and weaver

Undecided if I'll even bother with the 2nd season

And the special effects they do show look like something from a sci fi channel original made for tv movie from the mid 90’s.

The show works for me. I didn't expect much in the way of sci-fi laser/alien fights so I don't miss what we never see. The show is a well-acted drama and that's how I approach it. The situation just happens to be "post-alien-invasion-apocalypse."
