Falling Skies hits the mark yet misses the mark. I found it watchable for the most part, but the story seems a bit convoluted. I have rewatched seasons 1 and 2 and they are a mix of drama with action, done in a serialized format. Thing is, it lacks cohesion. Unlike The Walking Dead where the world has basically been reduced to a zombie feeding ground with the "prey humans" trying to survive, Falling Skies is given a premise which is never stated. Aliens come to earth and subdue it, but nobody seems to know (or care) WHY they came or what they want. Already, we have surrogate humans being used to help them fight the ruling caste. But when they talk to the humans through surrogates, nobody asks them WHY they came or what they really want with earth.
The CGI is okay, the characters are well developed, but they go nowhere with the plot. Anyway, this show has been renewed for a third season, so if you can please catch up on season 1 and 2. Not the best show, but it has enough scifi in it to make it watchable. Dont go in expecting TNG!
