There's something enjoyably retro about TNT's "Falling Skies," an old-school, B-grade sci-fi invasion series that's more reminiscent of the original 1980's "V" than the recently canceled ABC remake.June 19, 2011
Falling Skies is looking like the season's best popcorn television.June 19, 2011
Falling Skies generates its own excitement, very much worth the ride, like Lost and Jericho, to watch characters develop as they struggle under confusing and life-threatening circumstances.June 19, 2011
In due time, it starts to take hold, telling its timeworn alien invasion tale in ways that might well pull you along.June 19, 2011
I lost count of the times I paused episodes to try to understand an inexplicable moment or to complain to my couchmate about a predictable development.June 19, 2011

For once, Spielberg and company got it right on the small screen.June 19, 2011
It has a solid Saturday-matinee tone, as the characters dart through the wrecked streets with dirt on their cheeks and rifles on their shoulders.June 19, 2011
Falling Skies' mix of compelling individuals helps to make its early use of formula less troublesome than it might have been.
