Despite a recent graveyard of serialized sci-fi stinkers, I think our still-powered world is ready for another mutual obsession, and a little more Giancarlo Esposito is always a good thing. But the biggest red flag here is the sword-and-crossbow-wielding cast, a worryingly white collection of jutting jaws and bland good looks. Total societal breakdown? These pretties would barely survive a Patagonia catalog photo shoot.

This one sounds like its got a good deal of T2K potential.
I watched Falling Skies season 1 but before every episode, I told the wife "if it doesn't get a whole lot better fast, this is probably the last episode I'm going to watch." If space-faring aliens can't find and eliminate a civilian militia unit camping out in a school... it's just not at all realistic. 200 Spanish Conquistadors conquered the entire Inca Empire in just a couple of years- I just can't suspend my disbelief enough to really enjoy the show. I'm a little bit curious with what they do to start off season 2, but I can't imagine sitting through another full season.
