I tried so hard to love this show. I do love the storyline and premise, how the aliens look, that there’s lots of suspense and not all in your face alien attacks, and definitely the acting/actors. And the ending is EPIC. But the problems run deep, so my love can’t be complete. First, to repeat what other reviewers said, IT’S SO STINKING DARK, like you can’t see what’s going on. I get maybe low lighting and a lot took place after dark. But it was so hard to see a lot of it…. The lighting people need to find a new job. Second, they spent way too much time with the Japanese girl, with really really long scenes of her moving slowly and just looking at stuff, or whatever. They did with all the characters, really, but most with her. Third, and I won’t go into this much, but the obvious ‘agendas’ and stereotypes that were being pushed pretty hard were hard to look past. And finally, I’m old fashioned, and I know it’s hard to escape it now, but there was way too much harsh language. Oh well, that’s just a minor problem.
Overall, I’d say if you like sci fi and alien stuff, give this a try. Be ready to fast forward some parts and watch in a really dark room.
