Falling Skies

Falling SkiesProduced by Steven Spielberg, this human resistance vs. alien invaders TV show turned out to be one of the best summer shows to come to the small screen in a while and a nice sci-fi flavored treat.

Noah Wyle is perfectly cast as the father of three in charge of keeping the peace between a group of civilians and the military personnel in charge of protecting them, led by a very good Will Patton.

The show is well written and each episode is tightly packed with action and emotion.  The alien forces have clear superiority when it comes to weapons and technology, but the humans manage to mount attacks against them that eventually hit a nerve.

The visual effects are very good, even though the show clearly doesn't have a huge budget.  The whole cast does a good job, and I can't wait to see what season 2 is going to bring us.

Grade - Season 1: 8
