Falling Skies, TNT’s science fiction series about an alien invasion of Earth meant as an allegory for the Revolutionary War, concluded last summer after 5 seasons.  Starring Noah Wylie as a history professor who becomes second-in-command for the 2nd Massachusetts militia, the show followed his family as they fought back against the aliens that attacked the Earth, eventually becoming allies with a second group of aliens to fight back against the first.

The show ended with the humans eventually winning out over their new alien overlords, but had turned into a mess of plots and characters that made it nearly impossible to follow.  Wylie has been a favorite dating back to his ER days and was part of what initially drew me in, but he deserved better than this.
