It really was second-rate compared to the original. Letting Tim Robbins once more go on a rampage against anything right-wing was part of why it stunk. That, and having an intelligent kid like Cruise's daughter constantly screeching.
There were other problems,but the TV show, "Invasion" currently running is a much better attempt at the idea.

shows seem to lose the plot after a season or two and then go silly): "Falling Skies", "V" (the original one, not the idiotic reboot), "War
