Falling Skies Season 4
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
“Falling Skies: season 4″(2014) is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi show which sees the earth attacked by aliens. A major focus all the way through this series is the bonds of family despite the disagreements and conflicts, with the community being a larger manifestation of the idea of family. It is the tug-a-war between the feelings of the characters and their relationships with other family members or friends that keeps this series interesting, with the aliens sometimes merely being a backdrop for all of these interactions. As many of the characters become infected with alien genes, or are hybrid human/alien offspring (Lexi), what, or who is alien, becomes murkier and murkier. The fourth season is probably the best so far with the introduction of Scarlett Byrne as an alien/human hybrid who epitomizes the inner conflicts between self and the two species. Trust is a major theme of the show with this dwindling group of humans who look to be on the verge of extinction. The show becomes more interesting when various realities are exploited, where dreams of altered states of reality blind the character’s sense of reality. When all of these aspects are exploited effectively this series is at its most interesting with the various dynamics and tensions at play.
This set has a number of featurettes, including one about the character Tom Mason, episodic prequels, character interviews, and a San Diego comic con panel discussion. The image quality of the blu-ray is excellent and highly detailed with excellent contrast.

Season 5 of one of the best kept secrets on current television is excellent.
(the only let-down was the fate of Weaver’s daughter – too abrupt)
Noah Wylie is one of my favorite actors. He is just so natural and charismatic. And with ER and now Falling Skies on his resume, Wylie maybe ready to enter the realm of genuine TV superstars (like Tom Selleck or William Shatner).
Back to the show, highlights include: 1) Pope being Pope,and giving everyone attitude 2) Lourdes pays for being too much of a zealot 3) Tom doing a knockout-hilarious JFK impression 4) a love/lust triangle develops 5) who is that supergirl caught between two families?
It is a desperate, passionate, yet heart-tugging season for all of the members of the 2nd Massachusetts (aka The Mason Gang)

Despite the alien invasion theme, Falling Skies has been a good family show. There is certainly violence — as one would expect — and tension between the characters. But this has been a good series. Having now seen the fifth season, I need to temper this review. The first four seasons were excellent. The last season did not live up to the promise of the first four. So, if you are trying to decide if you want to purchase this series, keep that in mind.

Falling skies is definitely my favorite tv show I even like it better then the walking dead also a good show
Season 4 is definitely one of the best seasons and had me on the edge of my seat through each episode unfortunately the upcoming season 5 is going to be the last season this show should not end and should be renewed for more seasons
Highly recommended
