SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Steineded How sad is this?

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

kennywalsh007 Great concept, was a good yarn but poor acting by the cry baby lead. The world needs a Claire and Wes to look after the security of the planet, yeah right. Don't waste your time. Rubbish!

ianwhalley Excellent show that would do well if adopted by Netflix to secure a longer run than one series. The promise was there for the programme, may be we should have got there quicker for it to survive the culling from a myopia executive at ABC. I recommend it, though without a second series being made, it is rather short, with passing probably too slow to build to the promise the end of run cliff hanger gave.Are we alone? Yes. ABC canned it.

Meg Abbott So OK many of the reviews I have already read were really judgmental.We know it's a sci-fi TV series from the very beginning.We also know the story is about alien invasion,so try not to be so harsh on it,instead,try watching something else if you re not into those kind of stuff.Yeah,it's not an original story, we ve seen alien invasions in a thousand films and TV series already,so try passing that one,and focus on other things, like the cast,the directory and the acting.Personally,I chose to give it a try cause of Lilly Rabe (who was more than awesome in American Horror Story).And I was not at all disappointed.The story is clever enough, aliens contacting only with little children and not the grown-ups, and the most important part is that this TV series does not make a fool out of itself by showing aliens as monsters/human hybrids/whatever we can think of what they might be.Instead,they are depicted really decently, travelling through power lines and contacting mentally with the children,so that works for me :) Last but not least, what captured my attention the most,was the kids' acting.Each one of them is SO CONVINCING and smart, better than a handful of actors I can think of.And trust me, it's really difficult to find good young actors,especially kids.It wouldn't be on my top-5 TV series, but,among others,I would surely recommend it.

Jao Romero If you enjoy watching shows wherein characters do extremely stupid things that go against any grain of sense, then this show is for you.I binge watched this and watched all 12 episodesThe pilot episode was catching, and there's enough mystery round 3 to 4 episodes to keep you watching. but by the 5th, the stupid things happening outnumber anything good about the show.like one reviewer said, that thing about the boy being mute because he lost his hearing is just pure unadulterated laziness from the writers. if he wasn't born deaf, then he would be able to talk. only people born deaf would be mute (actually , they could still learn to talk, only that the sounds they produce would sound weird or mispronounced).and i can't believe FBI agents can be as unbelievably stupid as Bennigan. they screen agents at the FBI. there is an intelligence test (as well as an emotional and psychological test). so right at the bat, Bennigan isn't believable.the only thing good about this show is the creepy music and intro at the start. it's really good. i wished this was a horror show instead of sci- fi. then i would be willing to overlook some stupidity. some, not all.but sci-fi requires intelligent writing. consistency within the world rules, and consistency with known science and facts. please don't write sci-fi if your IQ isn't over 140!
