Well now that Defiance is finally finished as it's first season, I can safely say I am looking forward to the second season coming this year, 2014. Now I know that there was a lot of hate for the show following it's Pilot, but I must say that it drastically improved afterwards in it's later episodes.
Particularly between Noland and Irisa, and their past from the moment he found her as a war-orphan and adopted her. We discover that she has her own demons, stemming from her culture of being an Irathient and being experimented on as a child. We discover that she is a living, breathing weapon that many different factions are after to use her powers to their own means.
Nolan as the Lawkeeper of the town of Defiance, must also deal with general crimes and problems facing the town which is inhabited by humans and members of all eight alien Votan races. It truly steps up in later episodes, when the lore of the world is explore in particular the Pale Wars, conflicts and the issues facing the different Votan races.
As other major and supporting characters are explored, in the town we see that Defiance was built on lies, and of course blood. At the end of the finale of this first season, we see one powerful faction; Earth Republic invade the town looking for Irisa, and to use her abilities for their own good.
Now waiting for it's second season, I can say that it's worth watching for fans of shows like Stargate, Haven, Continuum and other staple science-fiction shows. I am waiting eagerly for the first episode of the new season, to see what has happened to the town and characters we were left thinking of at it's end.
