    Just another catch the terrorist crime show. Who is expecting a good SF show will be seriously disappointed.

    First two episodes move slowly..even a bit boring. Not much action, but a lot of talking.it s a shame because i liked the actors on other shows. Decent idea, but lousy directed

    The Colony is, I assume going for a slow build. The first episode moved slowly, offering little information as it followed it's bland leads. The only bright moments come courtesy of that guy who used to be on House, whose cheerful approach to collaboration suggests that it's a lot more fun to be the bad guy.

    Sure, a couple of subplots--one involving Will and Katie’s teenage son getting involved in a black-market operation, and another hinting at a romance for Katie’s sister (The Mentalist‘s Amanda Righetti)--feel a little extraneous at the moment, but enigmatic glimpses of “Factory” indoctrination promise that Colony won’t run out of ideas anytime soon.

    Colony might not be particularly original, but it’s compelling nonetheless, delving into moral and ethical quandaries via complex and engaging characters.

    Although there’s nothing new here, per se, it’s still a solid hour of watchable drama that often plays out more like a movie than a television series.
