Tomorrow is the UK premier of Falling Skies on FX. Now I’ve put it on my planner but I can’t say I’m excited about watching it. If anything I’m nervous. I’ve seen the adverts whilst watching Dexter (which by the way is amazing) and from what I can tell it seems a little, dare I say it, cheap?
I mean I’m sure it’s not. Apparently Stephen Spielberg is involved and obviously it stars Noah Wyle from ER (always a good thing) so it’s not like we are dealing with a B list crew and cast. But from what I’ve seen from the previews (and I know it’s only previews) the CGI looks fairly poor and somehow I just can’t imagine the show being any different. Falling Skies is coming across as a poor mans Walking Dead but with aliens and everyone knows zombies are far more frightening then aliens.
Nevertheless I am going to watch it. One of my favorite shows is Medium and you can’t exactly call that high budget cutting edge stuff. Plus how bad can it be bad if Wyle and Spielberg are on board? Actually don’t answer that, let me find out on my own.
To be honest I don’t know what I’m complaining about. I sat through 3 extremely poor seasons of Heroes and was still involved. Yes I even watched the season with the carnival. If I can get into that, I can definitely get into this.
