I was'nt sure if I were watching a sci fi flick, or just "The Young And The Restless" with humanoid reptilians and really good window dressing.

I liked the series too when it first started, but it seemed too goofy when it turned out the
Visitors were actually lizard people so I quit watching after a while.  Guess most other
people did too, as it didn't last long after that.  I'll probably skip the new incarnation
unless I'm really, really bored, or the word of mouth says it's really, really good.

I think the reveal was mis-handled.  It started as a mini-series, and it was important to reveal to the viewers that the visitors weren't what they seemed very early.  The problem is that there are only a few options available once the world at large figures out that the visitors are reptiles harvesting humans.  The show's maximum potential to entertain was squandered by revealing the aliens to soon.  Once they did that it had to go down the road of occupation>rebellion, and dragging that out led to the soapy stuff and "starchild" weirdness.

But damn were Lydia and Diana hot.
