This intriguing sci-fi action series is set on Earth in the near future. Aliens called Taelons have become a part of Earth culture and are called Companions, but there's a resistance movement of people skeptical of the Taelons' intent toward humans. Even the Taelons themselves are divided.

Maybe after a few more interdimensional flights and virtual-reality flashbacks, the show's future will be clearer. Go to Full Review

The first season is pretty great, but the show goes through some rough re-casting and re-direction transitions over the course of its five seasons. Go to Full Review

3/5
For the hardcore sci-fi aficionado it is recommended... It's certainly a much different view of humanity from the man who created "Star Trek," and that, in and of itself, makes it quite the curiosity piece. Go to Full Review

mama K @RT78370400 Jun 25 I just found this series on Prime in 2025. Obviously it’s old so the effects and basic style is dated, but I seriously enjoyed this series. It touches upon many societal values and norms still relevant today. No one is going to win an Oscar (I know it’s not a movie) but I thought the acting was well done and the story line attention keeping. Overall I give this ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ because if I can like it this much 25-30 years later it deserves a mention and good review. I am no critic, obviously, I rate what I like, timelessness/relevance and how captivating it is. If you like sci-fi this is worth the watch.

See more Anne V @RT23187413 Apr 21 My father fought in WWII and Korea. He watched Star Trek for years and said he was waiting and hoping for a star trek world, where living beings learn daily how to get along and work together. I am only on Season 2 on Earth:Final Conflict and I believe he would have found it a great prequel to Star Trek, the story is a real think jerker. The futuristic ideas are mind blowing because we are living with a lot of that technology every day. I don't know why it took me so long to find this series, but I am really appreciating it. Definitely a think jerker. See more Jon L @JonLunatic 06/03/2024 One of my foundational sci-fi shows growing up. Fascinating characters and stories. Still love rewatching it.
