Written and created by British BAFTA-winner Howard Overman (Misfits, Merlin), the third season of this dystopian thriller sees the ante upped as the alien invaders develop new powers. Blending apocalyptic landscapes, nerve-shredding plots and terrifying robot-dogs, this new adaptation of the classic H.G. Wells novel - starring Gabriel Byrne - is pure entertainment.
