Contains spoilers for "taken".

The most deliberate impression left by "Take" is its pure scale. The show opens with the dramatization of Roswell's real life crash since 1947, in which the metal/rubber remains were restored after a failed military operation in Roswell, New Mexico. Although the accident is officially attributed to the defective time balloon, conspiracy theory claims to be a concealment of an alien spacecraft accident. Bohemian is approaching this quasi-real aspect of the incident with stunning ingenuity, as it turns the plot into a deep story of terror, fear and vulnerability that covers whole generations.

In Take, three families play a key role: keys, Crawards and Clark, who end up playing their parts in shaping history and the future. The truth related to aliens is so frightening that it converts morally balanced individuals into cruel, accompanying incentives, which guarantee that the long -standing truth about aliens experimenting with mankind never comes to light.

At the same time, some suffer from the traumatic difficult temptation of foreign abductions, such as Russell Keys (Steve Burton), a military veteran who has been experiencing attacks for some time and learns that his medical condition is caused by foreign implantation (in his brain). Russell is not the only goal here, as foreigners have been kidnapping countless people for decades as part of their experimental breeding program for decades, leaving pain and trauma in the wake of their cruelty. Their goal is to create the perfect hybrid, and the birth of Ali Keys (Dakota Fanning) finally allows them to bring the next step from their terrible ambitious plan.

These horrible discoveries are just a small part of what "taken" it carries on the table, as the series skillfully woves in and out of family trees and vineyards to examine the catastrophic effects of the choice. Sometimes, empathy towards aliens gets into fatal mistakes, inadvertently condemn humanity and their relationship with anyone who is not from this planet.

What is most interesting about Spielberg's involvement in the show is the darker treatment of these good posture topics, which feel more strange or benign in his previous film. The tonal darker "War of the Worlds" is a post-"taken" download, which explains the drastic change of tone from alien stories of warmth, awe and miracle to those where the presence of foreign forces appears as a warning or threat. "Taken" is some of the funniest treatment of this concept, echoing scientific collections of novels such as Octavia E. "Lilith's" Barried " who explores the hybrid identity of man-olien in ways that have several stories of genres.
