What Season 5 of Falling Skies

Six months after the alien invasion, Tom Mason, a former history professor, survives on an Earth without electricity and with its armies destroyed. He must look after his two sons while searching for the third, who was captured by the invaders. To do so, he joins the 2nd Mass, the resistance of soldiers and civilians operating out of Boston, and puts his knowledge of military history to the test. This season, the group tries to figure out where the enemy gets forces that seem never to run out. With the help of the Volm, his leadership begins to spread to militias scattered across the planet. Meanwhile, internal tensions grow: Pope rebels, Hal disobeys his father, and Tom must make very difficult decisions.
