This started yesterday I guess? Seems to be described as Walking Dead iteration of the story.

Didn't see a thread about it so figured I'd start one.

Wasn't this show already done?

Falling Skies?

The show starts post attack and you get to watch the resistance?

I was bored after the first episode. Hope this is better.

Anybody else remember the War of the Worlds TV series from the 80's?

I watched the first episode last night because I happen to have 3 months free of EPIX right now. I liked it so far. I'm definitely in. Elizabeth McGovern has not aged well.

I read the title of this thread as if this was about the cheating scandal with the Astro's World Series. I was thinking "Man that was fast to make a documentary on the topic."


I feel really stupid.

Just watched the pilot. Very well done and worth the watch even if you dont care for the source material.. just for its real life portrayal of the sheer panic that ensues. The focus is on numerous characters instead of just Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise luckily escaping dozens of near death experiences.

But after reading a review.. I'm not sure the rest of the show is for me.. though it will be for a lot of you. I'm a sucker for the alien invasion genre.. and this seems to be more of an introspective on humanity itself and the story of human relationships, with.. yes.. Walking dead style environment and alien invasion themes running in the background. That gets a big meh from me. I don't need constant thrilling action. But I've seen too much post apocalyptic adaptations to know I don't care for anymore. I just want to see the actual apocalyptic event done really really well, and not bang it's done.

Watched from my DVR this afternoon. I was bored during the first episode.

I'm also a fan of the alien invasion genre, but this seemed to open after said invasion? I'll probably keep watching for at least a few more episodes but it will need to pick up in excitement to keep me interested.
