A decently intriguing storyline that goes on for twice as long as it really should have. The story moves very, very slowly, and it got very hard for me to keep track of all the connections between the characters. The first and second weeks felt almost like completely different movies, the first week being a great movie about how aliens have landed and penetrated our society, despite attempts from the government to deal with them. The second slowed down the pace of time advancement, and dealt more with what the alien's presence on Earth put forth by the first week's programs culminated in. Taken as separate movies, they probably work better than considered to be part of a whole, somehow. We don't need to second to have the first make sense. It could have just been wrapped up in one episode or something (my mother assumed it was going to be - she didn't know it was only halfway done). The second week didn't need the huge buildup of the first week to work at all.
As to the plot and the characters, they were decent but not spectacular. I love Matt Frewer in general, so while his character's appearance is a bit...odd, I loved it anyway.
Overall, the 40 hours of this series is overly long, and somewhat incongruous.
6/10
