Falling Skies - Season 5
The final battle begins as Falling Skies returns for its last season. As season five opens, all breed of beast and mutant are running rampant on earth, and humans are now ready to fight against the enemy. At the core of the story is Tom Mason, a bookish Boston professor who becomes a commander of a regiment of citizen soldiers. But his primary focus is the safety of his three sons, one of whom was taken captive by the aliens.

Tom's inner rage bubbling to the surface definitely brought a new kind of energy to the show. His no nonsense attitude is certainly refreshing even if it can be a bit scary at times.

[The] alliances remain tenuous right up to the final moments. And while the hour has plenty of action, it doesn't forsake the romances it has spawned along the way.

It benefits from the resolution that many shows don't get, and sits comfortably and competently in the Spielberg TV pantheon.
