This series features the characters from the two mini-series about aliens coming to Earth claiming to be friends but in reality have an ulterior motive. The aliens may have been beaten in the mini-series but there are still a lot of them out there. In this series, Nathan Bates, the industrialist who manufactures the biological weapon that was used to defeat the aliens, wants to get his hands on the aliens' technology, so that he could profit from it, makes a deal with Diana, the alien leader. Rebel leaders, Mike Donovan, Ham Tyler, and Julie Parish know that Diana can't be trusted, so they are constantly trying to figure out what Diana is up to and stop her.
A year after Liberation Day, courtesy of the red-dust bacteria, the humanoid, lizard-like aliens develop a resistance to the micro-organism and try to regain control of the Earth--only now some humans are knowingly working with them.
This series had a lot going against it - plot holes the size of meteor craters (why don't the visitors just condition Rev. Turney into giving up the location of the rebel camp?, for instance), some of the cheesiest dialogue heard outside of a Kung Fu movie, special effects that where horrible even in 1984. So how come it captivated me so? It was charming. I felt, when I saw it, that cast & crew alike really had a good time doing this show, and those things rub off. But more important, the series had SCOPE and ORIGINALITY. The creators weren't afraid to take on really heavy topics, and they did it in a way that hasn't been seen before, nor after.
All I can say is that this is the only film that I would even put in the same room as the holy trilogy(Star Wars). When Marc Singer starts to uncover the truth about these "visitors" you will get drawn in to it. And the cliffhanger endings will keep you popping in the next tapes to finish it up even though you have to work in the morning. With powerful acting from, Michael Wright( a street smart kid who uses his connections to get sanctuary from the "visitors"), June Chadwick( an ex scientist now rebel leader), and Michael Ironside(a bad guy gone good who brings in his knowledge of guerilla warfare to better the fight for human life) how can you go wrong? So, brew up some coffee and get ready for some of the best TV sci fi you'll ever see. I just wish it had a Jim Carey movie budget!
