Falling Skies is partly cloudy


In general, the two-hour series opener for Falling Skies on TNT felt, well, like a mix between the movie Terminator Salvation and the CBS show Jericho, especially with Moon Bloodgood as one of the few stars in a cast that also includes Noah Wyle, Will Patton and 'Mr. Military' Dale Dye.

The show basically begins some months after an alien invasion has wiped out, apparently, 90 percent of the human population and focuses on a portion of the rebellion forces. The military combat nature of the series with the rebels in small groups trying to avoid the aliens and use gorilla tactics feels and looks very much like TS. The fact they are grouped up with hiding civilians that are scrounging for resources and have no real leadership is very much reminiscent of Jericho.
