Terrific premise and outstanding cast (Robert Culp, William Katt, and Connie Sellecca).
The true message of the series - as emphasized by the "aliens" - is not just to stop "bad guys", but to prevent humans from destroying the Earth, an objective that's not furthered - or even referenced - in most of the episodes. Nonetheless, the first 2 seasons provide very good entertainment. In season 3 - other than its 1st and 13th (final) episodes - the quality of the storylines plummets (with no offense intended to the writers of those scripts).
All things considered, humans could use a lot more like this if they want to save the planet from themselves.
