I’m not sure I’d call Falling Skies well written. It’s well executed, but man their stories are telegraphed. They really don’t do anything even a little bit outside normal cliched story telling on the show, they just slap good enough actors and directors into telling this generic story to make it work. But even that’s starting to wear out because they keep hitting the same generic beats over and over. If Pope has once again reverts to being “bad” to start next season only to once again be shown his “heart of gold” I’m done with the show.

You're not wrong, but the acting is good enough to make it a fun watch. It's no Breaking Bad, but it keeps hopping along and remains interesting. I like the hybrid kids angle.

Yeah, the Pope character is tiresome and I'm still three or so episodes behind.

I enjoyed the first two years and the third was not too bad. I am trying my hardest to like this year but it is difficult to care.
