The series lasted from October 1997 to May 2002, producing a total of 110 episodes in five seasons. As the title might suggest it takes place on Earth, a very lethal place as all characters seem to die off very swiftly after being introduced. (This was one of the only series to kill off its lead after the first season.) At the start it has been three years back since a [[Sufficiently Advanced]] alien race called the Taelons came to Earth who quickly proceeded to remove all hunger, poverty, illness from the human populace and win the admiration of the public at heart. Naturally it turns out they have some form of hidden agenda.
It takes [[Exclusively Evil]], tells it it sucks and then throws it through an ID-Portal into space. Most alien species seem even more divided than humans in their political goals and even more in how to achieve them. The Taelons aren't outright evil at all, the Taelon characters are as diverse in how evil they are as the [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|human ones]]. And it turns out to be a lot more complex as both species are intertwined into some [[Deus Ex Machina|extremely vague]] purpose and need each other for survival. The second main character also was an [[Half-Human Hybrid|alien hybrid]]. In a lot of ways, it was like ''[[V (TV series)|V]]'' only ''much'' more complex and with no clear good guy, bad guy or motivations.
[[Ruined FOREVER|And then came season 5]]. Season 4 ended on an extremely vague and ambiguous cliffhanger with all the fans hoping it would finally reveal the big purpose the show was building up to. But no, giant let down and season 5 was more like a [[Spin-Off]], considering the shows [[Anyone Can Die|turbulent character roster]], it dropped most of the roles from the last season too and introduced new ones.
