This is kind of brilliant, from a marketing perspective - pitch a retread of an 80’s era sci-fi series as a scathing critique of the Obama administration:
Nominally a rousing sci-fi space opera about alien invaders bent on the conquest (and digestion) of all humanity, it’s also a barbed commentary on Obamamania that will infuriate the president’s supporters and delight his detractors.
otherwise, what is the appeal of a silly prime-time alien-invasion soap opera?
