Earth: Final Conflict

Earth: Final Conflict was a 1997-2002 science fiction television series. I watched this when it was on first-run. At least I tried to, but it was like playing hide and seek. It changed time slots a lot. From Wikipedia:
The story begins three years after the Taelons arrived on Earth. The Taelons have used their advanced technology to help humanity achieve a better quality of life. However, the North American Taelon Companion, Da'an, is targeted by an assassin while making a speech. Jonathan Doors, a businessman with close ties to the Taelons, is killed while Da'an is unharmed. Da'an is impressed by Police Commander Boone's work in protecting him from the assassination attempt, and offers him a spot as a Taelon Protector, a personal bodyguard and envoy for a particular Taelon.

Boone politely refuses because he wants to start a family with his wife. Also, deep down, he doesn't trust the Taelons fully. Subsequently, Boone's wife is killed in a mysterious automobile accident and Boone finds out that Jonathan Doors faked his own death so that he could focus on an underground resistance movement that he founded in secret. Doors believes the Taelons have sinister intentions, and wants to find out their true motives. ...

  2. I vaguely remember this series. I seem to remember I liked it, too. I'll watch the first episode HOPEFULLY tonight. So glad you shared this as there are so many series I've forgotten about.

    1. Yes, and now that there are so many Netflix/Hulu/AmazonPrime-type services that are making their own series, there are so many I haven't even heard of most of them lol

    1. I did like it back in the day. I found it frustrating that they moved it around on the schedule so much.

  4. I was going to make the same comment as CJ! I don't remember this series, but the premise reminds me of V, which I enjoyed. This series sounds interesting too.

  5. Oh that does sound like a "catch & keep" interesting plot line. Of course aliens have no good intentions for earth (col).

  6. I thought of the series V, too. Watched this episode and don't remember seeing it. I was trying to go to college and my health was deteriorating so I didn't have much time for TV at all from 1999 till 2004 or I would have watched this. :)
