"The Visitors" is a TV series that follows a police officer as he tries to solve strange occurrences in his town. While the plot has potential, the execution is inconsistent. The early episodes are slow and boring, but the show picks up near the end with better episodes. The use of foreshadowing and establishment of elements is done well, but attempts at juvenile humor in the early episodes fall flat. The main character has a character arc, but most of the supporting cast are empty stereotypes with little development. The acting is decent.
