Thought-provoking, witty and entertaining, this action-packed blend of science fiction and police drama finds Los Angeles the new home of 300,000 humanoid extraterrestrial. When a gang of these newcomers kills a police detective's (James Cann) partner, he sets out to solve the crime with his new partner (Mandy Patinkin) - the l.a.p.d.'S first newcomer detective. But the unlikely pair soon uncover a far more dangerous threat to society.

They had one job!ONE JOB!!!!!copy the story from the book and the you get 4 great fantasy movies if done correctly could have sat up with the greats like lord of the rings. Small changes would have been alright but this was TERRIBLE!

I loved the Alien Nation series and fell in love with the movies as they were coming out. I never realized there were more than I had seen. Imagine how thrilled I was to learn there were more. They showed how people are the same, no matter where they come from. These movies and TV shows showed how predijudice and hate can also be the same no matter where you are from. I wouuw recommend these movies and TV shows to everyone.
