This is a highly intelligent show, very well acted and loaded with dark humour. I am puzzled, however, by the title, as its premise doesn't seem to bear much relationship to the original novel or the David Bowie movie. The show seems closer to Resident Alien and The Day the Earth Stood Still from what I have seen so far. Regardless, this show is well written, lots of fun and has plenty to keep action fans happy as well. It also stands up well as good science fiction with what is essentially a three part premise. The alien has to save our planet in order to save his. Then we get the utilisation of seemingly simple technology in order to build the highly advanced technology he needs to complete his mission. As I say, absolutely loads of fun.
