So I saw all of Season 1 and I sure hope there's going to be a second one! Actors, although I only knew the leading, are near perfect for their characters with some fair evolution along the episodes. The more the show advances, the more SY-FY it has and the FX are top rate. The outdoor sets are beautiful, the look on the people is adequate as is sound and soundtrack. As for the script, it has not cheesy drama, comedy (sometimes goofy, other times dark), slight crime and medical component that just add to mistery around the main character, whom you spend the entire season not knowing if you like him/it or not... So ,no, it doesn't fit in any particular category and I think a show like that was needed and that, for me, is nearly perfection.

The series actually starts very well. The actors are not bad, the visual effects don't have a low cost feel, sound and the general look are very good. And so does the plot. There is an alien invasion, human survivers get together in order to fight on and fight back, nice approach on both humane aspects of post invasion but also the practical stuff (getting food, shelter, etc). Then, as episodes and seasons go by, it just degrades: more and more American patriotic talk, when it should be about Mankind, more and more supernatural and "deus ex Machina" moments, plot holes and lame script to the point that even the perfectly clean look of some characters annoys you 'cause it makes no sense. I watched it 'till the end just to be able to make an accurate review: it had the potential to be a truly "mankind wins the post Apocalypse thanks to its humanity and ingenuity" show and it started like that and then lost its way.

So, like I read in a review of another show, I tell you this: if you only have time to watch the best of the best, don't bother; but if you have the time, go ahead and watch it until you have had enough.

Having stumbled upon some short films lately, though this is no diamond, it's certainly a pearl. The top of the story is undoubtedly the song but the rest (actors, image and sound) is quite decent. Only think the house should be more "wow" given the description of the owner but I guess it's what the budget managed to get. Not wasted time.
