"Sanctuary" (Part 1 & 2) – The introduction of the "Skitter Queen." Worst Element: The CGI on the Mechs looked like plastic toys. Hot Take: Season 1 is slow-burn survival, not action porn. If you want Independence Day , look elsewhere. If you want The Walking Dead with aliens, this is your jam. Season 2 (2012): The Rebellion Finds Its Teeth The 360 View: Picking up hours after the S1 finale, the 2nd Mass is on the run over the "New United States." Season 2 doubles down on the horrors of the Espheni. We learn about "Overlords" (the tall, scary bosses behind the Skitters) and Ben Mason starts a horrifying relationship with his own harness.
John Pope (Colin Cunningham), the fan-favorite anarchist, becomes a cartoon villain. His constant betrayal-groveling-betrayal cycle is exhausting. Also, the "re-uniting with Tom’s dead wife" via alien clone? That’s where some fans bailed. falling skies season 1 2 3 4 5 threesixtyp hot
Season 4 is necessary but not enjoyable . It establishes the "Espheni are building a giant planet destroyer" plot, but you have to wade through a lot of teen angst and weird dream sequences to get there. Season 5 (2015): The Final War & The Controversial Endgame The 360 View: The final 10 episodes. The 2nd Mass returns to a ravaged Boston. The Espheni unleash their ultimate weapon: a "Queen" Overlord that controls everything. Tom Mason must unite the Volm, rebellious Skitters, and humans for one last, desperate assault.
