Falling Skies grabs the viewer with compelling story and great effects. The Earth has been invaded by an alien race, and a fledgling resistance of humans search to find ways to both survive and strike back. The aliens managed to wipe out approximately 90% of the human race. The invaders (called Skitters) capture children and attach harnesses along their spines, turning them into seemingly mindless slaves. Meanwhile, the resistance struggles to find a way to free the children without killing them.
