I've seen this TV series when it first became available in Australia and loyally followed it to disappointment of cancellation. Because its that good to watch. Even now, after two years and re-watching it quarantine "lockdown" style, it still captures me to keep me watch binging the three seasons.

The what are the watchability about the Colony are...

• the series are closer to "V", but seems to also belong with "hunger games, divergent and other such repression from tyranny and fascism set in the future" are kinda inaccessible to for the general people because of looking into a life too far on future time period, and this is where Colony work and even the alien reason is be acceptable because they smartly limit their visibility.

• how it captures audience with the intriguing story line and the family unity to survive themes, along with doing the right thing for what is humanity and freedom without compromise with evil doers even if you will use evil for a means to an end.

• the not so boring premise and developing events one after the other episodes gets you addicted to keep you watching.

• somehow there are only few characters and actors that acted them that doesn't grow in for you to appreciate, yup, even the RAPs... and how the actors have give new better life to... "you've seen it before story line of sci-fi or war genre" in a very well craftedly acted by everyone in it.

• Josh Holloway has this presence and star quality, and Sarah Wayne Callies has movie screen all the almost perfect actress personification (note: this is the second time around since Whispers that they both played husband and wife)

If anything... this is a glimpse of the NWO...

Colony has that feel of, "it can happen tomorrow and this is what you will be looking at would be reality", maybe not the extraterrestrial alien invasion but replacing it with the looming real reality of conspiracy elements by the elitist oligarchy wanting one world government with the bureaucracy of globalize economic technocracy over the controls of everything being admin in political system married to fascist corporatism Authorities (IGA), as masses live in totalitarian-socialist system with communism (the living in duress system of existence), as thought and secret police-gestapo-staci spying over the population, replace the RAPs as the drones, private government army as the black-ops soldiers, the "vinchy french style" collaborator government and troops as proxies and red hats - , global wannabe elitist colony Authority, to the1% political-economic powers and millionaires living in green zones, the greatest day as NWO one world religion, etch.... are closely represented as closer to what society is now going to be (even overnight), if the people don't wake up.

More like "too close to comfort" for the "tptb", that people might see the connections with reality and in waking people up from sheeplesdom. Because the not earning enough reasoning - since its been hardly marketed, as hardly anyone have known of its existence - doesn't sit well to undermined the decision of "can" the TV series. And this could be the real reason to why cancellation.

everyone who appreciate the Colony should launch a petition to continue the TV series... It is such a waste of rare great TV program.....
