It's on a strict budget and it's not the best, but stacks up well against Saturday viewing options. Slightly above average CGI, and almost OK storytelling. It's very alien-of-the-week as opposed to having overall story arc, which is unfortunate as they could've done much better marching-on with the plot from the 1st episode.
Episodes 4 & 5 jump back into the pilot-episode plot -- they've allocated special effects budget for these episodes. This temporary engagement is spoiled by episode 6 with fairly unwatchable filler junk -- someone should let the production company know that suddenly shaking a camera while filming doesn't qualify as a special-effect.
You could do worse for weekend matinée viewing -- think Merlin ( https://trakt.tv/shows/merlin ), similar Saturday-quality... ;-)
