简介："Dark Skies," a compelling sci-fi drama steeped in the intrigue of government UFO conspiracy theories, emerged as an American television series during the pivotal 1996-1997 season. Comprising 18 captivating episodes, along with a two-hour pilot, the series swiftly captured the imagination of viewers. The triumph of "The X-Files" on Fox had conclusively demonstrated the viability of genre television programming, leading to NBC's decision to commission a rival series following persuasive pitches from the producers Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman. Launched on September 21, 1996, on NBC, "Dark Skies" later found its way onto the Sci-Fi Channel, where it enjoyed a rerun. Its memorable tagline, "History as we know it is a lie," encapsulated the show's enigmatic and thought-provoking essence.
