Trivia:

Well Done

I must absolutely agree that this show relies more on imagination of the viewer rather than special effects. For me, I wouldn't have it any other way. I like the fact that it makes me want to watch the next episode to see what happens next. What it takes from effects definitely makes up with outstanding performances, well rounded imagination, and an excellent plot. I would recommend this series not only to avid sci-fi watchers but also to lovers of other genres as well. It has a certain flair that I feel would appeal to all audiences, young and old. If you liked the suspense of the X-Files you will be on the edge of your seat with this one. Lots of twists and turns to keep you coming back for more. I would say keep your eyes to the skies and keep an open mind. Not only will you want to know what happens next, you'll be waiting for the next episode to find out. Two big thumbs way up!
