Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 December 2006
In the late 80's there was a small resurgence in science fiction television series and one of the best to reach our screens was the excellent Alien Nation.

Created by Kenneth Johnston, the mastermind behind the seminal V, we get a very differnent interpretation on first contact with an alien race. Unlike V where the aliens were invaders, in this show the Tenctonese, or Newcomers to us, are refugees whose ship has 'crash landed' here.

Following on from the movie, the pilot introduces us to the characters and also makes links back to the film and with the help of some cleverly shot material makes it seem as though Gary Graham was actually in the film, even though his role was played by James Caan.

The series essentially focuses on human cop Matthew Sykes (a very funny word in Tenctonese) and his Tenctonese partner George Fransisco. It has all the elements of a standard cop action series with a science fiction element in the mix. That aside you find well scripted and very 'human' stories which cover a full run of 22 episodes.

As you progress through the season the real reason why the Newcomers crashed here is revealed and several more subtle and darker plotlines begin to emerge. The show builds to a gripping cliffhanger (resolved in the Alien Nation movie Dark Horizon) which leaves you wanting more.

The cast are excellent, the characters dimensional and real and the developing friendship between Matt and George is believable and very well written.

There is also an excellent supporting cast of characters, both human and alien, which delivers a show that satisfies on all levels.

It was such a shame that it only ran for one season and was cancelled but at least the fans kept the series alive long enough for the 4 television movies to be made in the early 90's.

So if you're looking for a good sci-fi show with some genuine surprises, edge-of-your-seat scenes and some laugh-out-loud funny moments then this is the show for you.

Brilliant thanks
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 February 2009
Brilliant series with great acting from all the cast. A double length first episode and another 21 after that one...thats got to be great value for money.
The characters are worked together to perfection,you get to know them over time without the storyline suffering...in fact, thats the best part...the interaction between humans and newcomers never gets heavy but flows very easily into each episode allowing you gain more insight into each of the players, what makes them tick and how that has an impact on those around them.
The only down side to the collection is it leaves you hanging in mid-air about so much of the expanding story and people that it`s almost criminal.
But the humour and stories are some of the best in any sci-fi setting, buy it,enjoy it and lets hope one day a T.V. Co. will take this series on and we get answers to where the story was unjustly cut short.

I have seen this series in TV when I was younger and I like the theme and characters,that is why I searched for the DVD afterwards and ourchased it. Alien nation is very good sci-fi with cleverly created alien race (language, rituals, eating habits...) and we can see how they adapt to live on Earth. In the series we can see different situations which are educational - how to live with people from different country, how to be tollerant to their behavior and believes.I can recommend this series and films because you never be bored with them.Nowadays the special effect are on higher level but I still think that this series were well done.

I have been waiting for this series to come out on DVD, and it was worth the wait, it is better than I remember. Because of the story lines it deals with, (prejudice, equality, individual rights etc) it doesn't date.

The characters have real personalities that are easy to identify with, and the stories do not take the easy way out, but through the darkest stories there is an element of humour that lifts it back into the thoroughly enjoyable.

I hope they bring out the movies soon!

Es ist nunmal eine meiner alten Liebliengsserien vom Samstagvorabend und ich habe die Geduld verloren auf eine deutsche Version zu warten, die vermutlich nicht mehr kommt. Mein Englisch ist nicht das Allerbeste aber zusammen mit den engl. Untertiteln komme ich auch sehr gut klar und kann die Staffel wirklich nur weiterempfehlen.

Auch im alten 4:3 Format ist das Bild recht gut auf meinem 106er Bildschirm.
