Show is helped out by getting Noah Wyle, who is a considerably big name in the television market for the lead. Though after watching episode after episode of ER as a kid, its hard to see him now fighting aliens.

Show premise is better...its realistic in the number of teenagers they have out fighting, and the premise is right, if an Alien invasion was to knock out 80 percent of the Worlds population, you can sure as heck bet that anyone whose old enough to handle a weapon is going to have one.

Interestingly enough, one of the documentary channels just had a special called "When Aliens Attack". Turns out that at least the United States and the UK have (secretly of course) war gamed this scenario out. It plays out exactly like this show in every scenario. Short term we get our clocks cleaned but the longer they try and occupy the greater the chance of oir winning.
