Did You See The Lights?

Warning: Spoilers
In the aftermath of Hurricane Eve, strange things start happing in Homestead, Florida. The people who went missing come back, but they are different. They are stronger, reanimated into an extraterrestrial life form. The series mainly centers around three families The Varon , The Underlay's, and Grove's who live in the Homestead area. Sheriff Underlay( William Fichtner) Is the key. In 1996, he was in the Air Force returning home; when his plane crashed into the Everglades. He was the only survivor, and he is left to raise his daughter Kira( Alexa Dziena). It's almost 10 years later. He has a new wife, Mariel( Kari Matchett), who took care of him back in 96. The kids, Jesse( Evan Peters) and Rose( Ariel Gade)are with Russell Varon their father, and Larkin Groves( Lisa Sheridan). Russ is with The Florida Department of Fish and Wildlife, and is close to Dave( Tyler Labine). Dave is a UFO enthusiast, who has his own blog, and lives with Russ/Larkin. When Dave notices people are not acting normal, especially after Tom finds Mariel in the Cove. Rose asks Dave if he saw the lights when the hurricane hit? At first, he doesn't know what she's talking about until Russ and him go on a boat ride in the cove. That night, Dave gets pulled under by some entity; but it let's him go. He is convinced that it's something extraterrestrial, but nobody will believe him at first. When Dave and Russ find a skeleton with an alien like fossil around it, both are suspicious. In a few days it comes up missing, and Dave wondering why?

As each day moves on suspensions arise, Larkin gets too involved getting the Air Force after her. The people start an Us Vs. Them attitude. It seems not everyone was changed the night of the hurricane, or can be changed. If you have any medical conditions you are rejected. The key to the survival of the people of Homestead, is Sheriff Underlay.

I can't believe this series was canceled, it was such a great show. To those who gave it poor ratings you must have enjoyed something about it. Why would you waste your time writing a review. The finale was so strong, but we are left with questions, does Larkin survive, does Hurricane Miranda have an impact like Eve did, and do the 3 families relationships with each other grow stronger afterwards. I loved this series and it deserved more than one season.

William Fichtner ROX :)!
