The first series for me was very poor. I don't know what convinced me to watch the second, but I'm almost glad I did decide to give it a another chance. The second series has all the same problems of the first but focuses a lot more on the things the show does well, and is very much better for it.
It's funny that they refer to their group as '2nd Mass' and how often they mention it.. sounds so forced and retarded to me.
Even more so because they don't really manage to pull off all the military crap in a convincing way to back it up.
The series has been renewed for a third season.
I'm done with this
Enjoyed the premier, specially the focus on the red-eyed skitter with the little spy drone thingy.
I can't believe this show didn't get cancelled. It was so BORING.
@Jarnohams Season 2 premieres on Sunday, June 17th.
When is season 2 coming?
At first I didn't really like it. But then things start being more and more interesting and I couldn't stop watching it! This first season was awesome. As guiloko said, it's like The walking dead but with aliens instead of zombies.
I liked it very much, and can't wait 4 the next season!
It's like a The walking Dead with aliens, so if you liked the first one will like this show too!
Very nice, good end!
The show has been going up in ratings, slowly. It is already renewed, but still that is nice. It is starting to be considered a decent show, around the internet.

They better explain/solve some stuff, would hate that they would just go to a finale without really achieving anything
2 episodes left. ' The truth may be worse than our darkest fears ' Well it will have to be a major shocker...
Boazinha, estou gostando!
I'm watching 1x06 right now -- not even 2 minutes in and I already hope that the guy and his stupid wife die as painful as possible (no, this doesn't really spoil anything). (And not the 'OMG, what will happen to the family if they're on their own' the writers seem to expect. WAKE UP, WRITERS - that stuff is boring as fuck. That opener was so bad that I already don't give a shit about what happens to them anymore.)
By now they should just rename it to Failing Skies..
Not sure if I'm gonna watch it again next week if 1x06 goes on like this.
Mediocre looking aliens, stupid mechs that don't really seem to fit in with the spider-like aliens, cheesy dialogue (it's really painful to listen to) etc. pp.
TNT should cancel this one, it's just not worth airing.
i am disappoint :/
@ColeFrost tnx for the intel, i was kind of expecting this.
Some scenes are just waayyyyyy tooo cheesy and that's ruining the show, because frankly despite some main questions and some "mistakes" it's alright.
Renewed for a ten episode second season:

@oranges
I did state earlier in these comments that I was going in with low expectations... I stand by that, still. I'll probably play it out for the season, but I don't think it is that great, yet.
I think it has potential and a good cast. The writers may end up being what destroys the show. Everything else is fine. Some shows improve their writing later on, to correct earlier mistakes. Perhaps it will improve over time.
