In the six months since the initial invasion, the few survivors have banded together outside major cities to begin the difficult task of fighting back. Each day is a test of survival as citizen soldiers work to protect the people in their care while also engaging in an insurgency campaign against the occupying alien force.

It starts really well. The first couple of seasons is really enjoyable, but then they sadly start to add more and more things and it turns into a really chaotic story without a clear direction.
