It was hard to watch up to the first half of the season, I quitted it several times until I finally got hooked from the second half on. The setting up of the family relationship was incredibly long and dull. Despite the family bonds premise, the amount of screen time spent in little girl Molly and her grandfather Josiah is absurd for a sci-fi show. I was thinking of another sci-fi show with a slow-paced set-up and family relationships as a pivotal point to the plot, like Night Sky; unlike this one, that one was well written, well executed and with a great payoff.
Fortunately the main alien character arc saved us from just another apocalyptic/ecologist story, and there're a couple of interesting characters like agent Clay and Sister Prescott that made it more watchable.
It should've been 2-episode shorter, and not renewal for a second season was a wise decision, it was fine where it ended and it would've been pointless trying to force a continuation with this alien civilization on Earth.
