Alien Dawn

I'm sure most people were expecting 90% special effects, 2% acting, 4% bad language, 4% violence. We've all seen those mindless shows that keep the eyes busy and the brain empty.

Cam and his friends are seeking answers but they find more questions than answers. Loyalties are not clear and situations question those loyalties constantly--just like real life. Even the bad parts are there but they're not infused with bad language, so you can actually hear the story.

The show is appealing to me because it makes me think. It should be making everyone think. I suspect that a great number of people will change channels merely because they want instant gratification. That's unfortunate. They're missing out on skills that make life easier.

The writing is quite good and the acting generally keeps up. If they have plenty of stories to tell, things can only become better.

I think Alien Dawn is really good so far. Nice to see a show that actually gets my boys (9 and 11) away from video games. There aren't very many shows on TV that they are interested in that don't involve bad language and violence. The way the characters speak seemed realistic but I noticed the show is very family friendly. At least it's something I can watch with them! Liked the friendship between the 2 boys and the theme of Dad being gone. Definitely something a lot of kids can relate to. I also like the scenes of New York City and that you can see where the characters live and go to school. The jokes are pretty funny too. I'll definitely be watching with them this week.

First thoughts: this kids/teens show has no business being this good. I would have loved it as a teen and enjoyed still as an adult. Discovered this gem on Tubi in 2024. I loved the artwork, the special effects, and the storyline was engaging. I appreciated how it let me escape our current global woes and imagine a battle to save Earth (rather than our current direction with Earth). It's a serious enough topic, but done in a way that doesn't feel so heavy. I laughed and caught myself wanting more, not caring to guess what should happen next. The artwork is quite impressive and is one of the reasons I turned to IMDB for more information on this show, 'Alien Dawn'. This show could be a precursor to a youth's love for sci-fi. These past few years, shows thought to be forgotten have gotten reboots or their stories completed. Would be nice to see this one get the same treatment. We're streaming more these days and changing the landscape of which motion pictures are filmed and presented and consumed. Kudos to this team for making this story and letting me check out of reality for a bit.

Finally a kids show I can get excited about. This is the first live action series in decades that got my attention. I just hope the rest of the season is as good as the pilot. If it is, this show is going to be a classic. I loved the characters and the fact that it was shot in New York. I love that it's not dumbed down to children. Kids are a lot smarter than the industry gives them credit for! I would have killed to have a cool show like this when I was a kid. I watched it at a friends house and he has an eleven year old son. He recorded it and watched it again the next day. He got super excited about the little clues that seem to be in it. I know he's going to watch it next week to see if the clues pan out. If they do, this show is going to be like the next Star Trek. On a side note, I can't understand why anyone would give this show one star. That's just crazy. They must of thought they were voting on the movie from a which is completely different thing.

Great Action! Great Fun! If everyone had a Mom as beautiful as Hillary Greer the world would be a better place!!!! I thought that moving from the comic world to the real world and back was a great deal of fun. The young cast seemed to be well directed and seemed to be having a great time filming this piece. It was a great story line seeing the main character going from frustration and disappointment with is pre-occupied father to a realization that maybe just Maybe he was the hero that all the"nerds" had the faith that he was. Slowly but surely the mystery builds and holds your interest until our young hero realizes that his Dad was perhaps the special person others thought he was. I can't wait until next week!!!!!!
