Its biggest strength is its cast. If nothing else, this will keep me coming back. The story is serviceable, and writing is mostly not bad, but the acting is actually pretty good.

I actually like the post-modernist references to other alien-invasion texts. It’s blatantly necessary, since there have been so many. And I think they’re handling the situation quite well. It’s a moderately unique take on somewhat spent material. And it could end up getting better over time. Some shows do. I won’t get my hopes up, but it’s worth paying attention to.
