This series is much better than it's original reviews. It is very authentic to the time period of the 60's. This was not appreciated in the 90's when it was made. In 2020, it is much more evident that this is good quality stuff. The UFO incidents are reasonably well researched then presented with a twist. The selection of cast is very well done. The real historical characters like Truman and Dulles are particularly well cast. It represents an alternative history that is neither provable or disprovable but great entertainment.

Very interesting and spooky, eerie series. Deeply dark with a fantastic cast makes this another super science fiction alien encounter tales from all dark sides.

At only 19 episodes, this was more like a mini-series rather than a regular series. I remembered how much I liked this program when it first aired in the 1990's, but it holds up surprisingly well now that I viewed it 15 years later. The acting on this program was excellent. The stories were good, especially how the writers interwove real news events into the storyline. I don't think any other series has used this plot device since. The episode on Dorothy Killgallen was very well done using this technique. The constant references to Majestic, the secret government organization that explored UFO's got tiresome about 3/4 of the way through the series. It started to look like a formula was being used to write the program. The violence level in the first 3 or 4 episodes was very high, but it fit in very well with the plot and definitely added to the intensity of those episodes. The last episode tied up the loose ends of the series very quickly and did look rushed, although I'm sure the producers of the program never expected the series to be cancelled that soon. If you have any interest in UFO's and aliens landing on earth, then you can't go wrong watching this series. I highly recommend it.Read full review
This was truly an excellent Sci-Fi series. I am so sad that a show that has such great potential as this show did is canceled. The acting was great, storyline was believable, and it truly grabs your interest and imagination. I really wish it had gone the full 5 seasons it was scripted to go. I found myself just sad and in disbelief that it ended on such a cliffhanger and there's no finish to give you some sort of closure. With that said, I still highly recommend this series to anybody who's enjoys an excellent, well written, well acted show. A 100% must see for Sci-Fi fans.
I had no problem with my Ebay purchase of Dark Skies collection. I was a Dark Skies watcher when the series was on television in 1996. I was surprised how long it took for the DVD to be released, the delay was due to series ownership questions. When it became available I purchased the collection. The series starts in the late 1950's and weaves its way through the 1960's following the main characters, the Alien's which are refered to as the Hive race which are parasites on the planetary races they encounter. Dark Skies touches on people in history and perhaps give a new way to look at history. Dark Skies was an exciting show, too bad it ran only the one season. Perhaps the Dark Skies series is a way to let some truth out or complete fantasy.......you decide.
