The Good
Aliens being among us is always worth checking out.
The Bad
It seems like this show didn’t have the legs or the story to keep itself going.
Threshold: The Complete Series grabbed me because I was a very big fan of the show V from the 1980s. I remember watching that show and actually believing that the aliens were here for good reasons. Then, I remember as clear as day when everything changed on that show. I bring this up when talking about Threshold because I never had the feeling that this show gave me that moment. It was moving toward it but it was that point of discovery that (V had) that I never feel it quite achieved.
The plot of Threshold is simple which, interestingly enough, might have had something to do with why this show didn’t have a better run. An extraterrestrial craft was found in the Atlantic Ocean. A team is assembled led by Dr. Molly Anne Caffrey (Carla Gugino), with their main goal being to try and find out the intentions of this ship. I think this show might have fared better if it would have moved at a little bit more of a brisk pace. Even in thinking about the plot as I wrote this, ultimately it doesn’t seem like there are that many avenues for this show to go down once the secret was out.

That said, Threshold: The Complete Series probably should have been just that, with perhaps a lot more of a definite conclusion.
