Falling Skies

Noah Wyle - FALLING SKIES

For an alien-invasion tale executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, this new series is surprisingly lackluster. The action sarts six months after an ET takeover. Tom (Noah Wyle), a scrappy professor, helps protect a band of survivors and reclaim the planet. Pretty standard stuff - and it lacks the chills of the similarly themed The Walking Dead. Wyle is a warm and welcome presence, though.
