Pretty good show so far, it’s building slowly but has lots of great character development. Last couple of minutes of episode four has some good hi fi candy but no spoilers from me.

Must be finished by now. Saw the end of ep.10. Are they back?

I saw every episode in season 1 (which is now over). To me personally, it wasn’t different and interesting enough to be a good alien story since there are a ton out there.

I didn’t think they would bring this back but it’s here .. watching season 2 only because I’m bored with everything on tv at the moment .. even though I watched a good movie this week , Sisu..

They never released entire season 1 at once .. weekly episode release .. just like all their other shows .

Watched season two episode one last night, I really enjoy this style of sci-fi and aliens. I just hope they don’t kill it at the end like Falling Skies with some stupid spider or something else silly.

6.1 score on IMDB after 34k votes. I also enjoy SciFi, I can't waste my little and precious free time on such low rated TV.

I actually managed to watch the entire season 1. My final verdict - this is a really dumb show. :D There is no way I will watch season 2. I can’t believe they didn’t cancel this show.

7 episodes into season 1. So far....it's just squeaking by as OK. Very cheesy and korny, and it's a slow roll. I mean, 7 out of 10 episodes in, and it's barely gone anywhere with the story. I hope the pace picks up in the last 3 episodes, otherwise I'm probably done with it.

Do you find that the ratings are usually accurate for your taste? Rotten Tomatoes scores tend to be fairly accurate for me, depending. Usually the audience score more so than the Tomatometer score.

This show didn't do well on either. ~55% isn't great.

I think the pace is a little slow, but I actually enjoy it. Of course, I am a bit of a sci-fi nerd.

Tomato meter score rates on "fresh" - which isn't exactly same thing and I usually disagree with their score. Lately with lots bots votes I find myself relying on imbd score itself, but going over 5-10 most helpful users reviews. Often their average at glance provides a decent feedback.
But in general, due to bots many if not most reviews rating sites are badly broken and no none gives to crap about it. I will specifically point out few major sites like TripAdvisor, Yelp, Amazon, and IMDB of course...

Good point. Bots, paid reviews, and ads disguised as reviews are a big problem.

The problem with getting into alien stories is it’s been done a lot. So you really have to be beyond imaginative and creative with the story . Unfortunately , that’s not present in this story. But I still watched entire season 1 because I’m attracted to these stories regardless. Still haven’t seen anything from season 2; maybe because I’m not motivated enough and I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything.

This topic has been done so many times, so I do not expect much creativity or originality - I wouldn’t hold that against them.

But if they had good writers, it would still be good. The problem is that they didn’t have good writers.

This is one of the main reasons I look at what else the writer/director for a show or movie has done before. If I like their previous work, I'll probably like their new stuff too. If I haven't heard of them, I'll give them a chance, but there have been so many shows that have had new writers, but have been excellent, that it isn't easy to tell.

On the flip side, some shows have very experienced writers with very impressive resumes, but the show sucks because they're just phoning it in.

Phoning? Meaning they didn't actually write it?
