Overview
Bam. Aliens. They appeared on Earth, but for some reason soldiers with machine guns took them down. A small boy was sent running away from the soldiers (reasonable) and hid in a shed where a six-year-old girl (played by a ten-year-old girl... that makes a lot of sense) found him and looked after him. He was recaptured (mysteriously, by men with tasers) aaaaaand skip a few years. Have you skipped? Good. Boy is now a teenager, one of a small group of aliens going to a human high school. Kind of like back in the day when they let black kids go to white schools for the first time, only this is with aliens (and all of the aliens are white. Like, seriously. Couldn't they be blue or stripy or something interesting?). Girl is at the same school, which is a convenient coincidence, and obviously she and Boy have some forbidden love thing going on. Alrighty then.
Stuff
The biggest problems this show had were the constant and contrived attempts to create love triangle drama, the lack of enough unique alienness for the aliens and a very slow-moving plot. It was cancelled in 2014 after one season.

Header
Taken from the trailer. As far as I'm concerned, the idea that they met before as children is the most interesting part of this series. Children are notoriously unbiased, so this gives the two main characters a realistic basis for friendship. I'm also quite a big fan of the actor who plays the younger version of the girl, because she's cute. Yeah.
