First of all. Season 1: 10/10 Season 2: 1/10
This must be the creepiest sci-fi horror show/movie ever. I was 10 years old when I first saw it. Now, 21 years later, I still have nightmares.
The reason may be the complete lack of human emotions within the aliens. No empathy whatsoever for human life. The aliens are portrayed as total different from us - not "almost human/American" like in other sci-fi shows. These ones cannot be reasoned with. You cannot negotiate with them.
Three episodes moved me deeply.
1.Quinn. "no Harrison...you are the alien".
2.The abducted woman. The end scene when Harrison just being to late to rescue her. It gave me an incredible parallel with my own life. Being to late to save the most loved one person in my life.
3.The strong drug. The scene with humans collecting drugs from the floor. Acting as animals.
The only flaw with the show is its low budget. Imagine what it could have been with a modern show's budget.
And one more thing. WOW is no predecessor to "X-files". X-files is a cheesy, unrealistic show with vampires, werewolves, and baseball-loving aliens. YES! Baseball-loving aliens. Give me a break...
WOW is the real deal. With real human emotions. With real characters. With a real nightmare-plot. Great job! GREAT!
