Falling Skies opens in the chaotic aftermath of an alien attack that has left most of the world completely incapacitated. In the six months since the initial linvasion, the few remaining survivors have banded together outside major cities to begin the difficult task of fighting back. Each day is a test of survival as citizen soldiers work to protect the people in their care while also engaging in an insurgency campaign against the occupying alien force, whose nature and purpose remains a mystery.

At the centre of Falling Skies is Tom Mason (Noah Wyle, ER), a Boston history professor whose family has been torn apart. His wife was killed shortly after the initial attack and one of his three sons has been taken captive by the aliens for some unknown purpose. Tom must now put his extensive knowledge of military history to the test as second in command of the 2nd Massachusetts, a regiment of resistance fighters protecting a large group of civilian survivors. They are constantly trying to gain intelligence about the aliens in order to one day outsmart and overtake them and hopefully rebuild their lives.

Falling Skies is a tale of endurance, commitment and courage in which everyday people are called upon to become heroes. The series focuses on the resilience of the survivors and their determination to maintain their humanity when all else has been destroyed. It also explores the ties that bind people together in the most difficult of circumstances, as well as the potential for humans to turn on eachother when the struggle to survive threatens to give way to desperation. The survivors may be outmatched, outnumbered and outgunned, but nothing can beat the human spirit.

This looks really good, anyone else going to watch?

Going to see how the ratings are in america before I start watching it, not starting to watch something else that gets cancelled after 1 season.

This has dropped almost 2 million of its audience already after 2 episodes

I've seen the first two episodes online. It's alright, but it hasn't gripped me quite yet. Reviews are pretty mixed. One thing that annoys me is some of the decisions made by the characters are just plain dumb. You'll see what I mean when you see them.

[Smithy]

I thought it was alright, bit slow to get going, but it's got potential
