Please bear in mind a few factors on Fallen Skies, It is obvious it was made inexpensive, the cgi effects , props and background materials, do not hold up to more polished Scifi shows, nevertheless, character acting is always the first and foremost rated item anyone should take into account.
For the first three seasons of the show, its clear they are trying to blend lessons from history into this current war, related and approached materials of American revolution, Vietnam and even American colonialism are broached during this, this marriage of course , under scrutiny doesn't always hold up to the story lines they tried to merge with them, but overall it was a satisfying attempt. In fact, if they kept this to three seasons, my personal ratings would be slightly higher, the reflective reasoning behind actions and the attempt to invoke deeper meaning , wasn't what ruined this show.
It was clearly, de-scripted and re-imagined from season 4 onward, without revealing much of anything, suffice it to say the overall series ground down, hard to watch the last two seasons compared to the fourth.
That said, its not a terrible series, so would recommenced you catch up on it if you haven't seen it yet.
