Falling Skies (2011)

Falling Skies plunges you into the tense, gritty aftermath of a devastating alien invasion that has knocked out civilization, destroyed most of the world’s militaries and left the vast majority of humanity dead or displaced. Six months after the initial attack, small bands of survivors—made up of former civilians, soldiers and families—have cobbled together makeshift communities outside the ruined cities and launched an insurgency against the occupying extraterrestrial forces. Each episode balances adrenaline-fueled encounters and guerrilla skirmishes with quieter, emotionally charged moments as characters struggle to protect loved ones, keep hope alive and rebuild a semblance of society in an increasingly hostile world. Viewers can expect a mix of action, suspense and human drama: intense battle sequences, tense tactical planning, moral dilemmas, slow-building mysteries about the invaders, and character-driven stories of loss, leadership and resilience. Overall, Falling Skies is a serialized, character-focused sci‑fi drama that delivers both spectacle and emotional stakes as humanity fights to survive—and to strike back.
