Synopsis / Plot: Set in the near future, Colony centers on a family headed up by Holloway and Callies who must make difficult decisions as they balance staying together with trying to survive. They live in L.A., which has been occupied by a force of outside intruders. While some people have chosen to collaborate with the authorities and benefit from the new order, others have rebelled and suffer the consequences.

Critics' reviews

"You get a great role for Holloway, who has great, sex-charged on-screen chemistry with an equally strong Callies, and the strength of that 'What would you do' premise. And for now, that may be enough. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"

Robert Bianco: USA Today
"The superficiality and inconsistencies of 'Colony’s' world might be less noticeable if the characters were deeper and richer, but they’re not terribly compelling."

Maureen Ryan: Variety
"A well-paced, intriguing drama that isn't without moments of unoriginality."

Merrill Barr: Forbes
"Characters and details are what hold our interest, almost to the point where we don’t realize that the plot is fairly thin. That works for a while, but eventually the series begins to feel flat, and our interest begins to drift."

David Wiegand: San Francisco Chronicle
"Holloway and Callies also take some time growing into their roles (...) By episode four (...) the show finds a nice groove all around."

Keith Uhlich: The Hollywood Reporter
"It's not bad, honestly. (...) Colony has the potential to be great (...) so I give it the benefit of the doubt."

Brian Moylan: The Guardian
