Falling Skies (2011–2015)

It's lost its way.

Warning: Spoilers
A show that started out showing us how a group of Americans were resisting an alien invasion in a post-apocalyptic world just appears to have completely lost its way and become about how many times we can save Tom Mason's family. Who really cares anymore?

In Season 4 it appears that Earth's only surviving group of resisters are in about 4 camps. One of them is lead by Anne Glass, Tom Mason's partner who leads them all on a merry go round searching for her daughter (like they all don't have missing family of their own). Another of the groups is now lead by said daughter - who have laid down all arms by the way. A third group has just escaped from an alien camp and have the unfortunate deal of having 2 Masons in their group. Father Tom goes off to search for his youngest son leaving first son in charge of the rest of the resistance who have to wait for him risking alien abduction. The final group are being indoctrinated by the Aliens with the 4th Mason Matt being one of the only resisters.

Its fascinating how some of the aliens have gone from being indestructible with guns in season one through to being killed by knives in season 4. Completely lost its way in my opinion. Lets get back to Earth Council, organised resistance, real military not all led by Masons (is there a hidden message there?) and please is there any other resistance anywhere else in the world? If the future of the world depends on this group of 100 odd people led by Masons, then the aliens might as well kill them all off now!
