It's the middle of the 21st century and there are new rules and a completely altered landscape on Earth after three decades of alien races arriving on the planet. Mysterious Nolan and his charge, Irisa, come to the town of Defiance, located atop the ruins of what was St. Louis, in an attempt to keep things in order as humans and aliens try to coexist. Events occur that threaten to disrupt the peace the town has fought to establish. In what Syfy is calling a first-ever convergence of TV and online gaming, each happening -- both in the show and in the companion video game -- affects what happens in the other medium, and the two evolve together as one story.

It's imaginative stuff, and some nice little touches ensure that the extraterrestrial element doesn't overpower the human one. Go to Full Review Heather Hogan Autostraddle 06/26/2018
Defiance opened its third season with a decisive, two-hour swing for the fences that left me slack-jawed and creeped out and mesmerized and even more smitten than I was last summer. Go to Full Review Rowan Kaiser AV Club 06/15/2015

Moving into the gritty post-apocalyptic storytelling isn't a bad move for Defiance. Go to Full Review Matt Webb Mitovich TV Line 03/20/2019
Defiance opened Season 3 with the introduction of two new kinds of lethal adversaries - both of which left their mark, as well as threatened to do further damage. Go to Full Review Tiffany Vogt Screen Rant 03/20/2019
Defiance remains a fertile tale of testing human survival, as well as exploring the bonds forged in war and in peace. Go to Full Review Michael Simpson SciFiNow 01/19/2016
3/5
Because everyone is expected to put Defiance first, it stands to reason that the show will keep retreading the same ground. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

IIGIBB0II T @RT58547592 Jul 25 Awsome 10/10, cannot not recommend! :p See more 07/14/2022 one of my best series, liked everything about it, hope there is a movie or season 4 :) See more adures s @RT16203642 04/01/2021 Cheesy ending, overall not a bad season, but I can't give it more stars as Amanda, her actions and attitude towards other characters was really iritating me. See more 11/25/2018 This series was so creative it's a shame the writer who came up with all the murder and death was given so much influence over the storyline. A fascinating sci Fi world and potentially cool series was ruined by excessive and unnecessary violence. See more 06/28/2018 Character development arcs! Datak Rules.
