War of the Worlds is typically owned between Earth & Mars which this is not even close. As a SciFi show it's OK, but it seems it was named to steal ratings from the BBC release of the same name. Just like C W Howell does with his movies using the same or almost same name as a box office hit to lure people in to watch only to find out they got duped. Anyway It's not that bad, No SciFi is bad except maybe the so named channel with wrestling and paranormal garbage and very little actual SciFi, but that's another comment section. If you like SciFi you may like this, just ignore the title and you'll be fine.
