At first, I have to say that I really had some expectations for this show. I mean, yeah, the plot was nothing revolutionary but i still hoped to get some good post-apocalyptic/drama/sci-fi TV out of it. Oh God was I wrong.
The acting was awful. The actors were stiff as boards, not as nearly depicting the situation they were really in. Combine that with truly annoying characters and you have the recipe for a disaster (man did I hate that religious girl). And the babbling about history and great battles in the past where smaller armies defeated much larger ones? Well how many times in history did armies wage war against aliens? *facepalm*
The writing was so cheesy and full of clichés that at one point, I actually hoped that the aliens were just gonna nuke them or something, just to put an end to it. An awful soppy family drama with huge holes in the plot.
But nevertheless, I continued to watch, hoping that it might get better. Well, it didn't. It just got worst, the season finale being not worth watching and insulting my intelligence. As user idonotexist wrote on the message board, the scene where the aliens tell Tom that they didn't expect such resistance, well I "wanted to peel my eyes off".
p.s Who the hell gave money to do a season two!?
