Review of Defiance

Defiance (2013–2015)
7/10
It wasn't half as bad as you would expected to be

It was decent, I guess.

There were cheesy moments, there were clichés, but somehow it worked in a way where there's a story that needs to be told and it's done successfully. It's sort of a Firefly (wild west) Terra Nova (earth but not really) Enterprise Season 5 (Collective of aliens) mix.

The special effects and CGI were pretty good though, which if it continues throughout the series with an improvement to the dialogue and storyline it could be the next sci-fi successful TV show. And I can't stress this enough that clichés like forbidden love between teenagers and calling the mayor "sweetheart" must be removed from the concept. The cast is doing it's job, but don;t expect miracles.

All in all I am willing to give this show a fair chance.
