When refugees from a war-torn country start seeking asylum in a small American fishing town, it becomes clear that something strange is going on. The residents soon learn that the country they are fleeing from is America, and the war they are escaping hasn't happened yet. While the government sets to work trying to untangle the truth behind the ominous migration, the fact that the lives of those involved will never again be the same seems to be the only thing that no one can deny.

Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald May 23, 2019
A series so well cast and so skilfully written that it's hard to imagine that the American ABC network cancelled it after this single season. Go to Full Review Johanna Schneller Toronto Star Apr 3, 2018
A supernatural story that's mercifully free of superheroes. An environmental and humanist warning. Evil aliens among us. Small-town cops vs. the FBI. It's all deliciously promising. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com Apr 2, 2018
If you're familiar with... most genre series that have debuted in the way of Lost, you also know that it's best not to overthink this noise, because the show probably isn't going to be with us for long. Which is too bad, given that it stars Steve Zahn. Go to Full Review Marta Fernandez El Pais (Spain) Jun 29, 2018

As it is The Crossing pilot is pretty boring. Not even the big mystery it spends so much time on is compelling enough to keep you watching. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Apr 10, 2018
