At the start, I was kinda disappointed.... but then realise its a start from scratch to whatever and whereever "the truth" leads ya to get to the truth.... where you only get what data you have available..... and logically follow to the next and from that to the next..... as each time the rabbit hole gets further, deeper and many tunnels to choose, which are open or allowed to and going around about it...... the thing is...... the facts and logical data to be analyze are still building up base on season one alone....... they are still on the stage of scratching the surface.....

if one is going to the hindsight of the progress others who've tried the kind of investigation they did (UFOlogist, organisations and other public 'truther' avenue) what they have done are much more progressing than any of them have before..... the amount of proving beyond doubt of existence and building trust among whitleblowers and other researchers/experts who would have contributed further would be mind blowing, if they are allowed to keep doing what they were doing and even maybe invent more creative investigation...... its not about the sensationalizing at the edge of you're seat every episode (they could if they added more television viewer crowding gimmick or realistic CGI reenactment for rating), but it is about getting to the 'truth'....... those are what will make them far endearing than ever....

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.....

Comedy is a really hard act to do, and how one can delivery them one after the other... its harder even to where they are ask to purposely be acting and not be caught acting... more specially if one is limited in their physicality.

Paul Wight should get new bigger respect in how fluid he could be as a contemporary actor, and has the potential to be really good under the right directions (as much as David Batista's evolving into better acting as he become veteran actor). But what one gets blown away is Paul Wight is his no effort getting into his character, and whether clever or smarty the dialogues or slaps stick goofing or mocking required, he is very smooth and convincing to get real laughs. no matter how simplistic materials he gets.

He's very genuine persona can be seen as he project his own self, and being not the average "American Joe" he successfully conveys them including vulnerability, for some reason you don't doubt it. He could almost like "wish I have a dad like Mr. Big Show" and could be a model for other dads with the tough is really showing true sweetness love openly to your family.

But overall he is an epitome of a good person given a tough physicality and regardless stands for the right thing to do with conscience, which is the heart of the whole big show. and literally on his shoulder to carry.

The comedy is very welcome family wholesome of the almost 80s family sitcoms. Even though there are the elements of liberal and conservative doctrine episodes themes or scenes - that exploits political correctness and the bordering adult issues cohesion of life in society - are seem finely balance , that are not cringey to be watching with your grandparents, younger kids or impressionable teens.

Hopefully the show sticks to this and away from dysfunctional or radical family unit, or make themselves hip "the now reality TV families" that seems to lose their soul on the way.
