Falling Skies (Seasons 1–5)

Falling Skies (2011) is TNT's sci-fi drama you can watch online on iFILM. Six months after an alien invasion has levelled most of the world, a ragged column of survivors outside Boston tries to turn itself into a fighting force. No generals. No supply lines. Just people.

History professor Tom Mason (Noah Wyle) leads the Second Massachusetts militia alongside hardened soldier Daniel Weaver (Will Patton) and field doctor Anne Glass (Moon Bloodgood). The invaders have enslaved children using bio-mechanical harnesses, and getting those kids back drives the whole first arc. Each season pushes deeper into the occupied territory and the politics of a shattered civilization trying to rebuild.

Executive produced by Steven Spielberg, the series ran five seasons through 2015. It leans less on alien spectacle than on the question of what ordinary people do when there's nothing left to protect except each other. Stream all seasons of Falling Skies online on iFILM.
