The funny thing about history is despite how much it tells us about the past, none of us really know enough about what really happened at that point in time except what has been written and presented to us throughout the decades. However in the decades there are always new findings and facts that are sometimes discovered which really cause you to question what you already know.
This is another great sci-fi show that sadly nobody ever watched (not even me since I was still watching "The X-Files") it's also another entry in the under the radar watch list.
It's really too bad this show I felt had a lot of potential to gain even more altitude. Like certain other points in history like in the eighties decade which I was waiting to see of that may be linked to the alien conspiracy. Let alone the build up to the alien invasion that either comes or is somehow prevented by the protagonists. Sadly the only way these would be possible is in the world of Fanfiction or if someone actually thinks of reviving this show (so we can include the 90 and 00 decades).
I really love the plot line I think it's an awesome idea and subgenere that I haven't really seen used in any TV show except for "The Man in the High Castle" but that show is a different story. It's also kinda a plausible idea when you think about it, how governmental powers/shadow orginatizaions create the ultimate cover up on the existence of aliens by manipulating and altering history throughout the decades. It's a bit of a scary thought too knowing that everything you've been taught to believe is a total lie and worst of all that the life you've been living is a lie.
The show is really suspenseful, it really has a dark noir like atmosphere full of paranoia where you honestly can't trust what you see but worst of all what you already know. In a way this is part of the nature of suspense thrillers, turning our perceptions of our everyday world upside down and see a world full of danger and deception at every turn.
Both protagonists are solid, both have good chemistry, I really bought both of them as a couple. There really sympathetic as both of them didn't really ask or sign on for this mission.
I even like how they both react which feel like how any of us would which makes both easy to emphasize with; both really don't want to do this but they have to as not just their lives are on the line but the fate of the entire planet as well; which is a pretty heavy weight for anyone. This makes us even concerned about their lives as both have enemies on all sides not just the aliens but corrupt shadow organizations on their tail, doing everything in their power to keep them silent.
We really emphasize with both characters because were in the same boat as they are were asking all the same questions and we're just as much in the dark which creates sort of a sense of participation, in a way we're detective 3 in the show.
However the real highlight is in the shows alternate history which increase the intrigue factor. It was just really cool how they we've in some figures in history as well as events from "The Bettles", "Nixon", "Bobby Kenedy", "Vietnam War" etc with alien and shadow organization involvement. It really made me reevaluate my knowledge of history, thinking how much of what we already know is a lie? However the most important questions are what other parts in history did the aliens and organizations play and how far back does it go. It's all sort of like a long complex math equation, each part of it serves an essential function to add up to something even more.
I know I didn't say too much but it's one of those show you just have to see and find out for yourself which is part of the joy of it.
Don't just look to the skies, look into the past.
