It struggles in places, I think because it's not quite as simple an alien invasion as most movies and TV series before it have attempted to portray. In falling skies it's a lot more complex, there are fragile alliances (sometimes with other alien species) weird agendas, sleeper agents and sabotage all falling in place behind the backdrop of an all out guerilla war against the invading alien forces.
So between trying to unravel the complex story and give some attention to the human side of the story (as in the feely stuff) while at the same time trying to keep ratings high... Yeah sometimes it struggles a bit.
On the whole I think it's definitely worth watching though....from the beginning (if you jump in halfway, nothing will make any sense)
Oh and thankfully, episode 2 and 3 from this 4th season were great.
