Falling Skies

The TNT drama Falling Skies follows the remaining survivors of an alien attack that has left mankind decimated. While similarly themed sci-fi fare either deal with the actual invasion, such as Independence Day and War of the Worlds, or high-level governmental conspiracies regarding the aliens, like The X-Files and Dark Skies, Falling Skies begins months after the enemy has already taken control of the planet. In this sense the series is not so much about the aliens as it is the perseverance of human beings. Such themes as family, faith and finding a way to survive in a world turned upside-down are often contained within each episode. That is not to say that Falling Skies does not include its fair share of action, as firefights between the small handful of refugees and the alien invaders continually break out during the narrative as well. In the end, however, Falling Skies is a sci-fi drama that is as much about the drama as it is the science fiction.
