Golden Brooks does impressive work as Alicia Travers, separated by war from her husband. The mystery of the aliens, who joined up with the Nazis to accomplish we-don't-know-what is intriguing and makes for an exciting and unusual story . The appearance of a Suliban only adds to the mystery, but sadly Blalock is back to a ruinous haircut of the kind that dogged her performances in Seasons 1 and 2.
The piggishness of Nazis is smartly conveyed in a brief, disgusting encounter on the street, where an attempted caress of Alicia is far more violative than a five-minute fistfight. The resistance is made up of loan sharks, a delightful alternative to a more conventional, tiresome nobility.
This alternative past is nicely set up, with strong details quickly painted in, with a startling image of a battered White House decked in Nazi bunting.
Good job all around. It's hard to see where this could be improved.
