Defiance (Seasons 1–3)

Defiance (2013–2015) is a Syfy science-fiction drama you can watch online on iFILM. Thirty-three years after seven alien races crash-landed on a dying Earth, terraforming tech has rewritten the planet and a brutal war has burned the old world to the ground.

The story settles in a frontier mining town built over the ruins of St. Louis. Former soldier Joshua Nolan (Grant Bowler) and his adopted alien daughter Irisa drift in and get pulled straight into local power struggles. A mayor, rival alien clans, smugglers and unfinished war grudges all balance on one fragile truce. Break it, and the streets erupt into open conflict.

What sets the show apart: it launched alongside a tie-in MMO, with events in the game and the series feeding each other. Three seasons, a dense mythology covering all seven races, and prosthetic work that ate up hours in the makeup chair. Best for fans of a space western built on politics rather than pure firefights. Stream every season of Defiance online on iFILM.
