    The show and its characters finally take a step forward, making the characters seem more real and relatable instead of drier and inaccessible. While it's uncertain to know how much left the show has, it would be unfortunate to back away from what I would consider the best season of Falling Skies.

    A good chunk of these reviews take place after only the first couple of episodes and while I agree that this season is very slow to start, Falling Skies does a very good job of picking itself up to make for a very exciting season. I do think that they could have better the season so it wasn't a roller coaster of ups and downs, however they left themselves enough room to work with to end onA good chunk of these reviews take place after only the first couple of episodes and while I agree that this season is very slow to start, Falling Skies does a very good job of picking itself up to make for a very exciting season.

    Most of the acting is very good and engaging (albeit a slight bit over the top sometimes).The plot is pretty darn cool and the pace is balanced so what's the deal with the (highly exaggerated) negative responses?

    I enjoyed season 4 alot and I ate the episodes up.

    Highly recommended for Sci-fi lovers that also have interest in the human/psychological side.

    Good show with a deeper plot than one would expect in a science fiction type program. The roles of the actors have been well developed within reason and the plot of the show. The last season was weaker for plot and the writing overall but this could become a cult classic and a real winner if the actors are given a wonderful scrip.

    While the sense of escalation is reasonably contagious, the push to the finale would feel better if it were worth investing in any of Skies' army of limp, interchangeable characters.

    Based on the first few hours, then, it would be premature to suggest the sky is falling. But as the producers labor to manage and advance all the show’s moving parts, they appear to have lost a couple of battles.
