Much Anticipated Falling Skies Premieres Tomorrow!

It seems Falling Skies is the most anticipated show of the summer of 2011.  I don't recall a summer show generating so much buzz.  This really should be the hit of the summer on TV. 


It's made EW Must List and has been positively reviewed by many outlets.  I have been able to watch the first three episodes, and I don't think it will disappoint, and I shared my non-spoiler thoughts back on May 1, which you can read here.  Many other outlets agree with my opinions, it seems and I have attached some of their thoughts below.


LA Times - Television Review: 'Falling Skies'

"There have been many films and television shows based on this scenario, on the universal desire to prove that humans, soft and increasingly teched-out, can still best the elements and a common enemy if push comes to shove. But none has captured the sweet and thrilling adrenalin rush of summer like TNT's new series 'Falling Skies.'"

Huffington Post - "A Trio of Hits from TNT"

"The special effects on [Falling Skies] are great but the attraction for the show comes from the heart of its characters. These are ordinary souls trying to stay alive and get their world back. Their humanity is what makes the battle worthwhile."

Time - TV Weekend: Falling Skies

"I doubt Falling Skies will ever inspire deep reflection on what it all means, but--as I can attest, having plowed through six episodes despite my skepticism--it at least made me want to know what happens next. If a postapocalypse can't do that,  what's a postapocalypse for?"

Fox News - Break Out the Popcorn for Summer Sci-Fi TV

"TNT's looks-like-a-hit Falling Skies is pure popcorn TV, the sort of show ABC's dilly-dallying and now-defunct V should have been. It wastes no time getting down to business. An alien invasion has crippled Earth, and we're well into the aftermath (sparing us clichéd shots of exploding monuments) as a band of rebel survivors, a mix of military and civilian, wage battle on the same Massachusetts turf where a Revolutionary War once took place. Evoking a more recent historic horror, a wall of the missing recalls 9/11 while asserting the high stakes."

Access Hollywood - Access Week in Geek (June 17, 2011)

"The two-hour introduction is a solid start-off point for the show as the remaining population tries to find a way to reclaim the planet from an advanced unstoppable enemy. The character driven storyline and top-notch cast are its biggest assets, and you definitely want to follow through to see how the tide may turn in their favor."
