I thought this got off to a good start. The hook here is that the public is for the most part completely deluded by these beautiful aliens carrying gifts (think of the Trojan Horse updated) while only a few suspect that they are covering up their real looks and intended deeds. The beauty factor, the free medical care and cures, the free gadgets and gifts, this all opens up some interesting story lines about people's weaknesses. I think this series will either get really, really good from this point forward or it will get terribly cliched and go straight down the tubes.
