Falling Skies plot

Falling Skies is about an alien invasion. Within a few days, 90% of the earth's population will die as a result. The story begins six months after the start of the invasion. In the American city of Boston, several hundred people appear to have survived. These survivors are now trying to fight the aliens. The Second Massachusetts resistance group is led by history professor Tom Mason (Noah Wyle) and retired soldier Captain Weaver (Will Patton), a Gulf War veteran. Meanwhile, the group must survive in a post-apocalyptic world. This is of course not easy. Food is scarce and danger lurks everywhere in the form of alien soldiers and killer robots. The resistance calls them Skitters and Mechs. It is also a personal struggle for Tom, because one of his children was kidnapped by the aliens after the invasion. He wants to find his son Ben as soon as possible.

Falling Skies season 4

Falling Skies is unfortunately taking a step back after the great third season. Yet it is all still very cool to follow.

This fourth season takes a different, somewhat strange, turn. The group is almost immediately split into three . One group has a poor life in a ghetto, one group a peaceful but utterly strange life in Chinatown and one group searches day and night for their disappeared mates. Nice try, but it gets better when everyone is back together.

Unfortunately, this season we have to say goodbye to two of my favorite characters (Tector and Dr. Kadar). We do get a good return for that with Dingaan. Incidentally, this season again suffers from the 'Falling Skies syndrome', namely that the last two episodes of the season always disappoint.

Good season, but after the pretty great third season a very small disappointment.
