Definitely watch the last 2-3 shows. They were the best! Does anyone think Anna is getting uglier? When i first watched the show I thought she was stunning but the more I watch this actress she gets less pretty. Wierd huh lol
I was thinking the same thing about Anna! In some scenes she's really pretty, in others not so much. Strange...

In the early shows we always saw this eterial face, with gentle voice and oozing kindness whenver public. Anna has a great PR sense. Then stuff starts to go wrong and you see the stresses with the fifth column especially. She's not worried about human resistance--they have stuff nobody has seen (or perhaps just saw as the red stuff spread over the world). But the fifth column can hurt them bad, and she knows it.
The actress is an incredable actress, making us almost believe she is only here to help, down to seeing the utterly cold blooded (in the emotional sense) dictator/conquerer doing her stuff. And she does not become a caricature.
I have to think next season is about occupation. The red mist is Wells red weed. Anna lost it big time and probably triggered the whatever it is too early or we'd all be toast. In a sense, the Plan destroyed by contamination by the virus of emotion?
The show looks okay, but in my opinion does not compare to the original 80s miniseries.
From the original miniseries when the Visitors are being introduced/integrated into the workers at the refinery/plant:
White Worker: What is your problem?
Black Worker: Man, first we had to deal with you honkies, then the Mexicans. Now, these creeps!
Classic. Seems innocuous, but you'd never hear such a line about race relations in todays network television programming.
I've only caught a few episodes, and it seems okay, but not something that I can really get into unless the story takes a unique twist. So far, it seems to be mirroring the original; Visitors come to Earth and claim to be 'our friends'. Some Earthlings believe them, while others don't trust them, believe that they have an evil plot to destroy/enslave the planet, and set up a resistance to drive the Visitors off. The resistance not only has to deal with Visitors wiping them out, but also from other humans who do not agree with their objectives. Also, despite the ultimate plan, some Visitors really do like humans and do not want to harm them, and some humans really do like the Visitors, thus creating more tensions over their unholy relationships.

I like Morena Baccarin as well, she is a good actress (Brazilian by the way), and cute, very good casting. They didn't use a blond bimbo or otherwise striking actress, nor an aesthetically challenged woman as is often the case with evil characters.
