Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for sci-fi fans.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: 2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings.
What might put you off: It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

A re-imagining of the 1980s miniseries about the world's first encounter with an alien race in which the aliens call themselves The Visitors, and have a seemingly friendly agenda that may or may not be a cover for something more malevolent.
