I really enjoyed this series, and the extras made me wish the series had never been cancelled. It sounds like season 2 and 3 could hve been truly thrilling. It's intelligent, original, yet accesible science fiction, that tried to introduce lots of new elements into TV sci-fi. If you're tired of "reality" TV, try this out. It's a very enjoyable 9+ hours of viewing.

I'm not a real fan of science fiction, so I was suprised to find myself enjoying the show; I only watched it to see Peter Dinklage. The show was well written, the acters were wonderful, I enjoyed where the plot was going... it's unfortunate it was cancelled before it had a chance to really show it's stuff. Obviously, the ending isn't that great, since they had to rewrite it days before filming it, but I strongly recommend the show to any sci-fi fan out there, and to many who otherwise aren't.

One of the best shows created in the last couple of years. Action, suspence, horror, humor this show has it all. And also a hell of a cast,
unbelievable this show was cancelled after just 9 episodes. At least all 13 episodes (includes a two hour pilot) are on the it. A must have DVD

This was probably one of the most inventive and timely sci-fi series to come out in recent years. Most of the sci-fi produced the last decade or two has been insipid and rehashed drivel. The cast is excellent and the stories are well thought out. As others have mentioned, this was head and shoulders above the other two networks alien themed offerings. (Interesting that they all debuted at the same time, isn't it?) The sound effects are particularly eerie as well. It's a shame that the CBS executives didn't see this show through. This could have been a landmark series for the genre. At least we can enjoy what little was produced.

Threshold was part of the rarest of all phenomenon: three new Sci-fi shows debuting at the same time on all three major networks. CBS had Threshold, ABC had Invasion, and NBC had Surface. Of the three, Threshold had the best pilot episode and the best cast in my opinion, but unfortunately it wasn't able to build upon the creepiness of the pilot and subsequently was the first of the three to be canceled.
The show starts out with an alien probe appearing at sea and emitting a strange signal that begins to effect the crew of a nearby ship, changing their DNA. Quickly Molly Caffrey (Carla Gugino), the author of the Threshold Protocol, an Alien Invasion contingency plan, is called into action. A team of brilliant minds (Brent Spiner, Rob Benedict, Peter Dinklage) is assembled and put at her disposal to deal with the Alien invasion.
The show was a meld of CSI, Men in Black and Invasion of the Body Snatchers. After the pilot the show basically followed the same formula: evidence of alien activity is discovered, the team goes out to investigate, the threat is neutralized, and the team creates a cover story to avoid a panic.
There was also an obvious underlying parallel between the alien invasion and the "global war on terror" and each episode seemed to make a point of forcing the viewer into the shoes of Caffrey and her team as they are forced to use extreme measures in the name of national security.
Overall it was good show that had a lot of potential and a great cast but it didn't generate the kind of ratings CBS wanted and so it was prematurely canceled.
