TNT today announced that it has ordered a fourth season of the terrific – and yes it really is terrific now – Falling Skies. I have been hopeful about the series since the beginning, and happily the current third season is the one in which the show has really hit its stride. Dialogue, action, multiple storylines, mysteries and twists – if you haven’t been watching it, give it a try. Especially now that we know another, hopefully equally terrific, season is coming our way.
