Synopsis:
In the year 2008, androgynous aliens who call themselves Taelons have eliminated war, hunger, and disease on Earth. Many worship them like gods, but a resistance movement forms that doubts the aliens' motives.
When police captain William Boone is offered a job as Taelon Protector, i.e. the personal bodyguard of the North American Taelon Companion Da'an, the resistence recruits him as a double agent ...

Comment/Reviev:
While the first season was brilliant, entertaining and provoking, the quality spiraled down to non-existance. Of mediocre execution, the other 4 seasons unfortunately began to replace most of the major characters (mostly not for the better) and turned extremely implausible and silly. It's a pity considering how well they started out, but the last four seasons are not worth watching.
