Great series. At first I was a bit skeptical. Stranded aliens and humans live together in a world changed by Geotransformation earth! But this idea has potential. Small towns who have to behaupeten against a "Republic of the Earth", the easy recall '39 -'45 Germany and are constantly exposed to risks that have arisen from the alien colonization (disgusting wildlife and renegade alien species). In addition, the relationships of different characters are in Defiance in the foreground. From law enforcement officers (the strongly reminiscent of a Marshall from the Wild West - including daughter and deputy) over a mine owner, is reminiscent of a cattle baron in the old west to an alien clan supremacy in the city by Inrigen, criminal activity and murder wants to acquire. Ultimately, the relationship of the Mayor together with her sister to the different characters. There is an opaque scientists and a concealed weapon that could change the world. There are even wild aliens that are strongly reminiscent of the Native Americans. While it has been at all popular series nicked a small piece of plot and built into the story. But never mind - fun the series anyway.
