    Sadly, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but that's why I'm not liking the show. LOL. Seriously, though... I've watched the first 2 episodes and stopped following during the 2nd one. It's on now as I type this. Just can't get into this for some reason. Maybe it's all the product placement crap... (hey, is that a Cadillac CTS they're showing from every angle that they want us to buy?! or Hey, did he just get some really expensive Sennheisers? Is that what he said they were? Expensive Sennheisers?). lol.

    I'm still hanging in watching the show. Episode two nearly sunk me but ep. three kept me in it. The assassination was ruthless, didn't see that coming. Hopefully we see some more action here soon enough. Still unclear on the aliens and the colony thing.

    I freaking new it (check my post page 1). They were never going to show us these damn Aliens.

    I would enjoy this show a lot more if they didn't tell us there were aliens. They tricked us and now it's distracting.

    They shouldn't have told us who the invaders were at all going in. The audience would have just assumed it was some other country. Then they spring it on us in the season finale the invaders were aliens

    I still kind of like it though even though it's paint by numbers when it comes to an occupation show.

    Black dude is a bad ass assassin. I still don't think he is long for this world since he seems incapable if emoting.

    Well I hung in with this show and actually liked it. Looks like there will be a second season I guess based on the previews at the end of the last episode.

    I don't get why people need to see 'aliens' to make it enjoyable? I actually liked the suspense of not seeing them.

    It's distracting for genre fans. The only reason we were watching was because of the sci-fi element.

    Even with lack of extraterrestrials or their motivations, this show was fun and I'm all in for season 2.

    This show has been way better than I expected. Very good depiction of life under occupation. I think it was smart not to reveal the aliens and instead focus on the story.

    I thought it was good not great, but I will tune in for season 2. I thought the build up of not seeing the aliens was good.

    They never explained why the drone didn't zap them when they were climbing up the wall.

    I thought it was because he made a promise. The dude is kind of scummy but he has a weird code of honor.

    Thursday's show might have been the best episode of the whole series. Glad I hung in there. Hopefully it keeps up.

    Once I realized (in season 1) the "aliens" wouldn't be a focal point in this show, I was able to enjoy it. It's not great but I don't feel like I'm obligation watching.

    The main family having bullet and laser proof plot armor takes alot out the show
    No matter what you know all of them are going to be ok . . . .just a matter what side character will fall on the sword for them for no reason.

    I don't think USA is quite as edgy as AMC or Bravo. Although, thinking about it, there was that sci-fi show on TNT calling Falling Skies and it suffered the same problem with the leader's sons never getting killed.

    Actually that was explained in one of the very first episodes. He was scanned when he joined the red hat police so the so the drones would recognize him as one of the cops.
