Childhood's End (2015 SyFy miniseries)

[Professor Bear]

Possibly of interest to some forumites, Childhood's End is an adaptation of the Arthur C Clarke novel of the same name from 1953 for which SyFy have apparently splurged out big-time, though it actually looks cheaper in places than something like Fear The Walking Dead or the upcoming Colony, and poor Charles Dance has to have one of the weakest prosthetic suits I've seen in quite a while.

Non-spoilery review: I've not read the book, so I can't speak as to whether the story's been liberally cribbed-from over the decades since the novel came out or whether this is just a very trope-y adaptation, as it's heavily reminiscent of Earth: Final Conflict and the V remake, as well as taking a leaf out of Independence Day's book.  Not exceptional, but worth a look.
