In the year 2046 its a new Earth - with new rules. Over thirty years after various alien races arrived on Earth the landscape is completely altered terraformed nearly beyond recognition. To the town of Defiance on what used to be St. Louis comes the mysterious Nolan (Grant Bowler) and his charge Irisa (Stephanie Leonidas). As they settle into town - overseen by the mayor Amanda Rosewater (Julie Benz) and filled with residents like the powerful Rafe McCawley (Graham Greene) enterprising lounge owner Kenya (Mia Kirshner) and the ambitious alien Tarrs (Tony Curran and Jaime Murray) - events begin to unfold that threaten the fragile peace this border town has fought for.
Review
OK so there were some dodgy effects some awful acting clichຝ characters and back stories and at times poor scriptwriting. But having said that it held my attention for some reason and has the potential to grow on me. This series will live or die on the quality of it's storytelling and inevitably it will have it's hater's and it's liker's. I am reserving my judgement for now to see which group I fall into. Well done though for at least investing in a new scifi series. I just hope the writers have the stones to give us something more challenging intelligent and contemporary than the majority of the drivel on the Syfy channel.
