Defiance is a western that had space fall upon it. The design aspect of the landscapes, races and tech is what stands out amongst a lot of muddled drama. At times annoying, you do end up rooting for characters. It's pretty, it's fun, and it has a great finale.

Budget-related short-cuts and technical deficiencies aside, I really liked the setting, the make-ups are wonderful. Overall, the story arcs are pretty good and do not fall into typical cliches (except the Pandemic part, which I didn't care about); I like that they didn't finish the story in the first season and went on with "More on Defiance". The crown jewel of the show is Murray's depiction of Stahma; by desynchronising her mimics, she managed to generate a character that is uniquely alien.

Like almost every Syfy show , it feels slightly cheap. At least with this one they try and have fun and most of the characters are likable.

I genuinely admire the way this show tries to keep the spirit of cheesy 90s TV sci-fi alive into the 2010s, and I admire the town of Defiance itself, which has a Firefly-esque space western charm to it. But I just didn't find the show well-plotted; I was bored by the stories it told. Dropped out in season 2. Too bad.
