15 Underrated Sci-Fi TV Shows You Should Be Streaming Now
1. Falling Skies
In Falling Skies an invading alien force attacks the earth, quickly defeating military forces and wiping out 90% of the human population. In the aftermath, the aliens start kidnapping young survivors before releasing them back into the world, under the control of strange bio-mechanical attachments.
The main story picks up 6 months after the invasion where a group of civilian survivors have formed a militia in an effort to fight back and rescue their children. It's an engaging apocalyptic story, well told and well performed.
The initial draw might be Steven Spielberg's Executive Producer credit but whilst the show doesn't live up to the acclaimed director's best sci-fi, Falling Skies is still a worthwhile watch.
