In the year 2046, it's a new Earth - with new rules. Over thirty years after various alien races arrived on Earth, the landscape is completely altered, terraformed nearly beyond recognition. To the town of Defiance, on what used to be St. Louis, comes the mysterious Nolan (Grant Bowler) and his charge, Irisa (Stephanie Leonidas). As they settle into town - overseen by the mayor, Amanda Rosewater (Julie Benz) and filled with residents like the powerful Rafe McCawley (Graham Greene), enterprising lounge owner Kenya (Mia Kirshner) and the ambitious, alien Tarrs (Tony Curran and Jaime Murray) - events begin to unfold that threaten the fragile peace this border town has fought for.
Set on a future Earth, Defiance introduces players and viewers to a world where humans and aliens live together on a planet ravaged by decades of war and transformed by alien terra-forming machines. It centers on Jeb Nolan, the law-keeper in a bustling frontier boomtown that is one of the new world's few oasis of civility and inclusion. Nolan is a former Marine who fought in the alien conflict and suffered the loss of his wife and child in the war. The trauma transformed him into a lone wanderer in the wilds of this new and dangerous world.
Now unfortunately with the shows I usually watch, I either don&#39;t like it and review the entire show based on that or I watch as much of the show as possible and I review it with a well based knowledge. This is in-between. I actually started to enjoy this show and still do but there are some glaring problems.<br/><br/>In the wake of a human/alien war - humanity is terraformed into something almost unrecognizable. We follow the residents of St Louis (now called Defiance) a city that tries and treats all the alien races as being equal to humanity and each other as they fight off the alien race everybody hates called The Volge and other ways to attack what&#39;s in the town.<br/><br/>So my biggest problem with it is that I only know three of the alien races so far out of seven… They aren&#39;t even named. So I have to go online to see what they&#39;re called and wait for anything about them to be explained on the show. I know there&#39;s a video game but I don&#39;t want to play sci-fi World Of Warcraft to understand a television show which I bought. If anything the television show should work on it&#39;s own and the MMO should be giving the series a fourth dimension in exploring the town and landscape and interacting with the characters. My personal favourite episodes are the ones where the alien cultures get explored because I would then know about Irathients or the Castithients.<br/><br/>Oh and if what you&#39;re looking for out of this show is interesting characters then you will NOT get your fill out of this show. Basically Nolan is a stock rough around the edges action hero, Datak is the spoiled kid living in the body of an adult (and somehow gets a crime syndicate), Amanda is the mayor that wants to do right by her people, Kenya is basically Inara from Firefly and Rave McCauley is the guy that wants his family safe.<br/><br/>Literally the only character that I think doesn&#39;t suffer from being almost completely summed up in brief notes is Irisa. She is Nolan&#39;s adopted Irathient daughter who feels disconnected with everything, within reason too - She wants to learn more about the culture of her people mainly because the only thing she knows about it is the most bare-bones knowledge of anything, she&#39;s a skilled combatant and she&#39;s damaged psychologically due to past experiences with her birth parents. If I could write this much on all the other main players then I&#39;d be happy to sit through the whole first season and review it then because as the show&#39;s going on, I am much more interested in her then any other character.<br/><br/>If you want more good things I have to say about the show it&#39;s basically what kind of world they set up. I complained about the lack of set-up for the alien races but the Irathients are what the Na&#39;vi from Avatar should have been. I also like the time they spent giving the Aliens separate languages. I also think this post-apocalyptic aliens co-existing set-up is actually pretty good. All of these elements, when explored - give the show so much more enjoyment then other stuff that appears in it&#39;s place in other episodes.<br/><br/>So would I recommend it? Well, I suggest reading on it first. It is not deserving of the hate it&#39;s been getting, but at the same time it isn&#39;t really anything special. I&#39;d say if based on what I&#39;ve said about the characters the show looks interesting to you then I say to pick this up with flying colours. However, I say it is very on the fence and unless the season improves (I&#39;ve just finished episode 7, just a perspective) then I am sorry, I wanted to love this show but I couldn&#39;t.<br/><br/>6/10 - 6 because despite all it&#39;s problems, I&#39;ll still watch more.
I just watched the catch up episodes on SyFy. Not bad. I love Bertie. She reminds me a lot of the maid from Two and a Half Men. There is some things that are not explained well but I got the info I wanted from Wiki. Any alien that is not CGI is just a human in make up. That does not make it any less effective, just a side note. There are your good ones, your bad ones, and the in betweens. There is the crime lord alien sleaze who ends up getting elected mayor to feather his nest but learns he was wrong. Jaime Murray is his wife and she turns out to be just as much a bitch as he is a dog. Mia Kirshner is the sister of the mayor before Datak, she plays a whore who runs a house and bar. She develops a thing for the Lawkeeper, so much so that she first charges him half price and then it is free. There is a lot of give and take, politics, a little alien religion etc. There is really good action and there is the Earth Republic (HA) to hate. They are basically human and have resurrected the Nazi ideals from what I can see. Pretty good overall. At least I am going to watch the next season.

The Votanis Collective, or Votans, originate from a binary star system in the Perseus Veil (or Perseus Arm). The Votans were forced to flee their system after a galactic cataclysm. The Sol System became a very appealing new home: Jupiter alone had 65 moons that could be reformatted with their Terramorph technology, there were ample mining opportunities in the asteroid belt, and, perhaps most importantly, they believed Earth void of intelligent life due to the absence of spaceflight technology. When negotiations for colony rights broke down, the Votans declared war on humanity, which culminated with the Arkfall, when several of their ships crashed onto the planet&#39;s surface, inadvertently unleashing the Terramorph technology and irrevocably altering Earth&#39;s biosphere. The Collective is comprised of the following species:<br/><br/>Castithan A humanoid race with pale skin and white hair, Castithans bear the strongest physical resemblance to humans, and from a political standpoint, are the Collective&#39;s dominant species. A highly spiritual race with a rigid caste system, most of the Casthithan refugees are from their ruling class.<br/><br/>Indogene The most technically advanced Votan species, Indogene are congenitally hairless humanoids with a wiry build and pale skin, which has runes and tattoos to denote individual identity. As the physically weakest Collective species, they tend to undergo various forms of genetic or cybernetic modifications, specific to their chosen professions.<br/><br/>Irathient The most physically robust Votan species, the Irathients have been the most successful in adapting to life on Earth. They bear a strong resemblence to humans, but have prominent ridges similar to Neanderthals.<br/><br/>Liberata A race of short, squat humanoids with porcine features, Liberata held the economic power among the Votan races until their greed led to their downfall. They have since become the servant caste in Votan society. Despite their social status, most Liberata have a strong sense of humility, viewing their current predicament as punishment for crimes of their ancestors.<br/><br/>Sensoth An ape-like species from the Irathient homeworld, the Sensoth have a lifespan of approximately 200 years. As a result of this longevity, Sensoth tend to be deliberate and conservative in nature, preferring long-term plans over abrupt action.<br/><br/>Gulanee An energy based species that require containment suits to interact with their surroundings; the rarest Collective race encountered.<br/><br/>Volge A race of automatons, disliked by all of the other Votan races, and the closest thing to a straightforward &quot;villain&quot; race. They stand over eight feet tall, are covered in dense armor, and possess integrated internal weapons. Not intended to be part of the Exodus, they were smuggled onto the Arks via unknown means.<br/><br/>Not every creature is alien, however, as the Votan Terramorph technology inadvertently created several mutants. The series takes place in what used to be St. Louis, Missouri, now called Defiance, while the game takes place in the California Bay Area, formerly San Francisco.<br/><br/>The show focuses mainly on life in Defiance, and the power struggle between its most powerful families. Comparisons to <a href="/title/tt0348914/">Deadwood (2004)</a> and <a href="/title/tt0944947/">Game of Thrones (2011)</a> have been made. Conversely, the game focuses on the Bay Area Expedition, where Ark Hunters are seeking to recover salvage from crashed Votan ships at the behest of Machiavellian industrialist Karl von Bach. Some major characters in one will have cameos in the other. Series protagonists Nolan and Irisa appear in some of the game&#39;s early campaign missions, where they engage in morally questionable activities such as theft and piracy. In the series, Nolan is seeking redemption for these actions. Also, it is highly likely that von Bach is involved the show&#39;s conspiracy arc.
