The first 3 episodes burn a bit slowly with lots of personal affairs and getting to know our band of heroes. But once the puzzle pieces fall into place around episode 4, things begin to unfold on a larger stage. The atmosphere is such that I expected jump scares most of the time, it's quite tense, and of course it is, nobody really know what's going on, and yet you get the feeling many times that something isn't quite right.

I can highly recommend anyone that enjoy "War of the Worlds"/"V" style shows and movies to give this one a go. It's not quite like anything I've seen before, and I really look forward to following seasons as of course season 1 ends with a bit of a cliffhanger.

Amazingly this was done with a 15 million dollar budget. Every dollar was excellently spent. I found all the effects quite good and it's not unnecessarily gory or bloody.

I'll be looking forward to the next season.

There's a bit of everything in this series: romance, scifi, paranormal, fantasy, conspiracies and the list goes on. I guess that's what kept people coming back, you never knew what you were in for when you tuned in, and I guess that's why the show was made the way it was, for TV back in the day when keeping people hooked was a matter of life and death (for the production company).

As someone that owned a book about unsolved mysteries like the bermuda triangle and ball lightning and bigfoot, this show captivated me right from the get go. I'd stay up late and watch it around 9 or 10 pm as it aired local time. And I'd do it again if I could go back to the nineties. Because its themes really stick with you. For example, the one about AI running amok? Yep, that's an episode. Or the one about a Vietnam war vet that has the ability to remain unseen, the perfect assassin? Yep, that's an episode. Aliens, monsters etc. Yep, it's all in there.

They really don't make shows like this anymore, because it's just not the same landscape. Cable is dead. Long live internet subscriptions.
