Falling Skies Season Four
I
don't watch this because I'm particularly into Alien Invasion movies.
The attraction is Noah Wile and the actors who play his three boys:
Drew Roy, Connor Jessup, and Maxim Knight. The latter has literally
grown up on set and has now entered his teenage years. Despite the
challenges they face this is a family that exchanges hugs and truly
appears to care for one another. The two older brothers even engage
in fisticuffs when they both become attracted to the same girl.
Yes
there is plenty of action and the players wonder around with assault
rifles at their backs, people die, and things explode. There is even
a certain ick factor, but it is the interpersonal relationships that
drive the plot lines.
