Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: TV-PG (Violence, mild Profanity and Adult Content)
Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- SS___ (Two Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; could be a very loose adaptation)
The show's premise is that Earth is being invaded through human DNA by alien mathematics and geometry from a higher dimension, resulting in body horror and paranoia when someone is exposed to its contaminating effects; it's essentially a retelling of "The Colour Out of Space (fiction)" on a larger, TV-series-friendly scale....
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.

Synopsis
A team of experts is assembled when the U.S. Navy makes a chilling discovery: An extraterrestrial craft has landed in the mid-Atlantic Ocean. Dr. Molly Anne Caffrey is a government contingency analyst whose job is to devise response plans for worst-case scenarios. When her plan (called THRESHOLD) is activated upon the news of the UFO, she and her handpicked team of eclectic specialists get to work deciphering the intention of the craft and preparing for the possibility of a crisis situation -- an alien invasion.
