A Great Premise, but its Aging is Awful!

So, I really enjoyed the concept of this to a great extent. Basically, the Pilot attempts to show the mystical, spiritual, and ghostly nature of the perception of the radio at the time, and even went as far as showing how it can be used to communicate with an alien from space. Albeit, the alien looks god-awful.

Still, I enjoyed the premise, even if it is scientifically inaccurate by today's standards. The alien's design was awful and I chuckled every time the camera was just move closer and closer the alien, like I was supposed to be scared, like what? I am just wanting to laugh, so stop! Haha. Regardless though, the episode was enjoyable, kept my interest along the way, and had a main character that I kind of liked. His dialogue with the alien was actually pretty intriguing. "Do you believe in a God?" "Why are there holes on your face?" It was just kind of fun.

I am looking forward to the rest of the season and overall series though, even if this was kind of horribly aged.

Also, anybody else lol when the police shot the main character's wife for no reason?
