If you liked Lost, then you should like this. Watched all the episodes in 4 days. Wish there were more. Great casting. Could have done with some more alien tech, but worthy of another series. Has it all, murder, suspense, love, deceit, hope, betrayal, cunning, twisting, awesome, troubling, very watchable. I missed 6 months and started midway and still remembered what had happened before. I would give the aliens some extra telepathic powers and a more uniform look or maybe they genetically modified themselves to look like 21st century humans to blend in. Definitely many unanswered questions. What is the Event that caused them to leave Earth in the first place?

A BIG waste of time

Warning: Spoilers
ALERT! SPOILER! AHEAD! i wasted a few days to watch these 22 episodes, only to find the whole thing sucks. What a way to end a story. (and some call this a 'SHOW' ??) The last moment of all this in-total 13 hrs or so, reveals that the presidents wife is a 'sleeper' (EB, extraterrestrial biological entity LOL). Big deal, that is revealed several episodes earlier anyway, but it means absolutely nothing, at least you NEVER see her taking part of any agenda, apart from being the president's faithful wife..
The first moment of all this show, doesn't connect much to the whole rest of the unfinished story. Shawn Walker hijack an aircraft, to stop his girlfriends' dad from piloting an airliner right into the presidents' compound in Florida. So it seems the EB's are to blackmail one of their OWN, threatening to kill his half-human daughters. It doesn't make sense.
the first half a dozen of episodes constantly switch between '5 years earlier' to '13 minutes earlier' to '3 days earlier' .. '14 years earlier', '3 months earlier', '6 months earlier'.......stoopid! the first 4-7 minutes of every episode is a brief summary of 'events' (LOL)of the previous episodes.
One might say the last episode is quite unexpected, not to say the last 10 minutes. The 'event' is never really revealed, and surprisingly the EB's half-toasted planet portals next to the earth. Agent (EB) Simon Lee says the whole story is in the scroll, what a bluff! The Virus thread to humankind from the EB-not-so-kind is 'surprisingly' avoided in the last episode.
Whatever happens to the girl Leila, is hard to tell as well, it's revealed she is pregnant in the last episode, and, like usual, Shawn says 'it will be okay'.
Only watch this crap if you like 'mister president' a lot and think America=USA. I wouldn't recommend this 'show' for anyone to watch, because they'd regret wasting time watching it.
There would be substantial founding for a 'planetary war' at the end. Surely this show wasn't meant to end just like it did - but it did! Definite proof of unfinished story by lack of inspiration, or lack of something else, maybe some excusable 'event' in real life ;O .
I'll LMAO for those who waste time watching this like I did. Wish I could get my time back. Instead you get waste a few minutes to read my opinion on this utter crap.
the EB's leader, Sofia, constantly looks like she's on the edge of breakdown, in the first episodes her voice is cracked up, and the whole idea that she consider 2.5 billion EB's her 'family' is a joke.
If you waste 13 hrs watching this crap, you might as well waste and hr or two watching the lousy 'Doomsday Prophecy' movie as well. The short length would be delightful, in contrast to spending 13 hours on these 22 episodes.
The WHOLE plot is screwed up and change throughout the movie. Spread this stuff over weeks or months and it will be so confusing that you wouldn't mind what the plot really is. The Plot is to get you hooked on watching something 'really exciting'. It is like grabbing 10 random ingredients in the kitchen, smash it together to make a dish..of....
_ _ _ _ ! Too many loose ends. I'm actually glad there isn't anymore episodes, imagine a 2nd season with 30 more episodes, and how disappointed one could be at the end THEN. there would be nothing much left of the original plot. It seems like an improvised TV show, where they stopped when the game was good, or the stakes too high to live up to people's expectations.
Shawn never gets to propose as he planned to on that cruise, but in the end he might get to become a father to a half-human baby, and wife to a half-human girl at some point, that is, if she will survive the virus or whatever they put in her. The doors are wide open to speculate. Just like one can wonder what kind of planetary system the EB's came from as their planet looks to be burning in the southern hemisphere. I'd almost say this movie was predictable, yet, I didn't imagine something could be this bad. A remake of this into an 80 minute movie would be much better, to get it over with.
Now I'll get back to them told me about this stupid show and tell'em what i REALLY think about this crappy show. In fact I'd rather watch 1½ episode of 'Gossip Girl' instead of 13 hours of this. (That should say it all!) BIG SPOIL!
