Refurbished theme from Sci-fi tool box of alien invasion. Sub-mediocre scenario with a contorted story. Halle Berry on high heels climbing on an escalator pit. The alien prospective suggested through a fuzzy image. On the positive note, if you get to the second season you will not have to endure the lamentable acting of Goran Visnjic (John Woods).

Idea good. Special effects good. Halle Berry's acting isn't!!

I just finished watching Season 2 and am so glad there isn't a Season 3 that I have to decide whether or not to watch. Halle Berry - every moment on screen is a opportunity to over-act. We're meant to believe this drama queen is a leader? As if that's not enough, they create an evil Halle Berry robot! Complete with greasy slut hair. Just in case we didn't get the full range of her acting prowess. At the top of all the suspend-belief moments necessary in scifi - who would create a smug, smirky, sex-crazed robot? Right up there with an American tech company creating a terminator who speaks with an incomprehensible Austrian accent.

First episode was quite promising, albeit a bit stiff, but that's understandable. As the series progressed it was more and more difficult to watch, as it felt fake, plasticky, it felt like most good shows feel after too many seasons. For a new show the acting felt surprisingly tired, forced. The show is situated in our near future, presenting us with somewhat futuristic versions of gadgetry we recognize and as a society are supposedly excited about (smartphones, self-driving cars etc), it includes almost all the popular subjects of sci-fi - AI, robotics, spaceflight, alien life-forms, you name it. It also has terrorists, evil corporations, bad and/or stupid government, afterlife/spirituality, plenty of action and violence, interpersonal drama, betrayal, sex... It feels like some lazy producers decided to take all the ingredients that previously have proved successful and mush them together, add a big star, some smaller ones and start cashing in! Well, to me it tastes mediocre or even bad. It's like putting pizza, caviar, ice cream, a steak, strawberries and some expensive wine in a blender and expecting a culinary masterpiece to emerge.
