Description: When astronomers detect a transmission from another galaxy, it is definitive proof of intelligent extra-terrestrial life. The world’s population waits for further contact with bated breath. They do not have to wait long. Within days, mankind is all but wiped out by a devastating attack; pockets of humanity are left in an eerily deserted world. As aliens hunt and kill those left alive, the survivors ask a burning question – who are these attackers and why are they hell-bent on our destruction? Emotional, cinematic and rooted in character, it is a unique marriage of human drama and the best science fiction. This is a story of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances – but they are more than just victims in a brutal war. For, as we will come to realize, the aliens’ savage attack on earth is not arbitrary: its seeds are being sown before our very eyes. Epix.com

Why Did It End? This British/French-made series had a three-season run that allowed it to wrap up most of its storylines. The third season was never officially announced as the show’s last, but it ended on a rather final note. Considering the alternate timelines introduced, there is always a possibility that a fourth season could emerge at some point. But the actors and creative team have moved on to other projects, so that seems unlikely.
