Falling Skies: They’re Here

‘Falling Skies’ is a series that I spent a lot of time watching and re-watching. As it is a completed series, I can be satisfied whenever I’m doing a watch through of the show and I reach the end. At the start you are thrown right into the action with little narrative explanation, but it is just enough to make sure that you know exactly what is going on. There is action right out of the gate when the show begins, but the biggest part of the show isn’t the action, so much as the drama. What would people do in an apocalyptic scenario and they were forced to fight or hide from aliens. That is a question that is answered very well in this show and makes for good, but also somewhat cheesy interactions between the characters. I always look forward to re-watching it every once in a while because I will suddenly remember how much I enjoy it.
