This television series drama centers around the exciting and the adventures of the Defiance city, as after years of wars with alien forces that seek to dominate the world, humans and aliens live together, at the same planet, follow a specific bit different rules, the thing that causes many challenges and horrible things.
Defiance is not just a smart, well-crafted TV show with a good cast and an adventurous flavor, it's also indisputably science fiction, which is a relief.
I am engaged by the show's lively metaphor for a polyglot culture fractured by tribalism and Otherness, for a world that can easily put aside past pain and present differences to tackle a common threat.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the pilot; the show has done a good job of telling an engaging story IN the future without it being entirely about the future.
