When an alien craft is discovered at the bottom of the ocean, Dr. Caffery (Carla Gugino) and a team of experts (Brent Spiner, Robert Patrick Benedict, Peter Dinklage, Brian Van Holt) race to protect the world from invasion in this sci-fi series. Commanded by National Security Advisor J.T. Baylock (Charles S. Dutton), the team investigates the craft and creates a defense plan for an extraterrestrial attack. Extras include four unaired episodes.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** Amazing pilot lead into only slightly more disappointing follow-up episodes. While overall the series was good, I can sort of understand why the series was cancelled. Brent Spiner proves, unlike Leonard Nimoy, he won't be typecast as his Star Trek character Data. He's such a great character actor. The entire cast shines and it's sad we won't get to see them develop. I would have loved to have seen more.
