When I first read the description I figured it could be a mix between House of Cards and The Walking Dead or at least The West Wing meets The Strain but after finishing the pilot I must say the "horror" tag is all but missing.
Tony Shalhoub,Danny Pino and Mary Winstead do a great job to get you interested in watching the next episode(s) but the writing is not very original and the dialog barely got a few smirks on my face.
It did however spark my sci-fi interest and I'm willing to give this show a try just because of the writers and the cast. Either the political aspect is just a vehicle to get the sci-fi story told or the sci-fi part is a way to get some political satire in but the jury is still out.
So far I haven't seen any proof of it being biased to any side of the spectrum and I hope they'll keep it that way. If you are interested in some light entertainment, what easily could be called "The Men in Black go to Washington", then this pilot is something you should really check out.
