I really wanted to like this. I forced myself to watch the entire first season, hoping it had some redeeming qualities, but I found few. I tried to find a character I liked, but it proved difficult at best. Their characters had a hard time getting fleshed out fully and the ones in OK were completely abandoned. The teenagers weren't horrible, but the children were insufferable, I've never disliked children more. Even the aliens were lazily told, for taking over a planet they were pretty hit and miss. So many questions, so many things that didn't add up, no matter how you sliced it. Why did the US come to Japan? How did the bad guys know about the mysterious chunk the family was carrying & what it could do? By the end, I was rooting for the aliens.
