Yeah it is quite cheesy, but I think that I'm appreciating five things about the Show that you just can't really get altogether currently in the 2020's Streaming model.

1. It isn't afraid to be cheesy and have a style that's not "cool” and "hip with the youth” even back when it was out it weren't really seen as a trendy Show. Basically I appreciate that it has it's own style and is comfortable with it.

2. It's paced a lot better than Shows like Fallout Season 2, Severance both Seasons, and complete and utter rubbish like Pluribus imo. Which was funny because I remember thinking that Season 1 of Falling Skies was quite slow paced back when it came out, but compared to Streaming Shows it looks like it's paced at break neck speed in comparison.

3. Pope's dialogue and general writing is really fun to watch, and certainly would not be allowed today unfortunately. The Actor also delivers his lines really well imo.

4. You can actually like the protagonists, that's sadly not as common as it should be on Streaming TV Shows that have come out in the 2020's. American writers need to seriously look at fixing this particular issue imo as it's a huge problem within their current Shows that I don't believe that Falling Skies (or a lot of the US older Shows) suffer from anywhere near as often.

And 5. Attractive women actually exist in the world of Falling Skies. Yes it's a shallow thing to point out and it isn't technically needed to make a Show good per say. But it's honestly refreshing to watch an American Show that doesn't pathologically hate on attractive women existing because it might please men, or should I say "the male gaze.”

It's just nice to see that it's there, but they're so far also being well written without being treated as sex objects, because I do want the attractive women that are cast on TV to be well written too, otherwise it'd be a waste having them on the Show.



Old man yells at cloud is now over... For now.

As regards tv series featuring attractive women .. Try the Paramount series Landman as is crammed with lookers for all tastes and ages

…just finished binging all three seasons of Shrill over the last three evenings…totally loved it and fell in love with the lead character who is so fabulously dysfunctional in her life of dating and work/career and family relationships etc…some of the areas that the storyline went to were quite deep and serious but it’s also a very light feel as well/it’s very well balanced between the two places, I thought…just a great watch……not sure what my next watch will be yet…

Default What TV series are you currently watching/following?

Halfway through the final series of Alice in Borderland !!

Fabulous series and definitely re-watchable as there’s so much going on all the time


Fabulous writing / acting. / casting and special effects …

Hope there is going to be a fourth season

Absolutely incredible boxset !!

It may be a tad graphic/violent for some

( think Squid Game)
