I watched the first season of Colony, and I really enjoyed it. The premise is good, they don't rely on mystery boxes, motivations feel fleshed out. 10 Episode season, i recommend it.

The premise is Aliens have colonized and oppressed earth we only learn enough about them at any time to motivate the actions of our human collaborators.

They do like their hand held video camera shots in this series, and when watching at 2x/3x speed they give me a headache since the frame is bouncing all over the place.

The main characters family is super impulsive, bad communicators, putting the main character always on the backfoot to protect them or fix their mistakes. I know its a good way to keep the plot from seeing so contrived (A angsty teenager ignoring the rules, and not listening to good advice - believable) but... this poor guy

Also funny, everytime sex is on screen, its always ALWAYS for alterior motives
