The Witcher Season 4

Is this destined to be simply another alien invasion movie that scares the daylights out of most of us? Or will it have more to offer than merely a chaotic aftermath depicting the results from heartless alien beings that want to take over this magnificent planet. This television series starts out at six months post invasion and we find the citizenry has been cut down to a few survivors who have banded together in hopes of fighting back. Citizen soldiers have been chosen in an attempt to protect those in their care and set up an insurgency campaign that will fend off the aliens. The aliens and their ships are fascinating to look at, mostly thanks to the imagination of Spielberg and DreamWorks Television, but it remains to be seen if this has much originality in the story line considering the basic idea has been redone many times. As the citizens are cruelly tested on a daily basis an ex college professor played by Noah Wyle (Librarian movies, ER) leads a group of civilians and soldiers as they strive to win against alien forces who are intent on occupying earth. Ann Glass, Drew Roy, and Maxim Knight also star.
