    • Trivia
      Bears a lot of resemblance to the video game series Half Life 2 (2005). There are never-seen alien overseers, with co-opted humans who act as a militaristic police force and proxy governers. A resistance in the oppressed population with sympathizers, as well as those who wish they wouldn't interfere. Furthermore there are large alien structures and walls that create blocks to section off populated areas, with drones that observe the civilian population and can inform the authorities. There are also work camps and prison complexes used as torture facilities.

    Netflix, #SaveColony
    One of the best SciFi shows I've ever seen. Immersive, distopian world, great story, awesome characters, super addictive - I rarely get a show that I watch until 5 AM (which costed me greatly at work). What USA Network did was terrible, show would made a legendary 5 seasons saga, as it is - unfortunately remains unfinished and plot seem "cut in the middle", thus 9 not 10.
