About

"Body-horror thriller about sharing your skin with a monster"

Alien parasites drop from the sky and burrow into human hosts, hijacking their brains and reshaping their bodies into shape-shifting killers. One parasite fails to fully take over its host, leaving an ordinary woman sharing her body and instincts with the creature inside her. A special task force hunts the infected while she's caught between both worlds. The show moves fast, leans hard into gooey body-horror action, and works best as a tense, blood-soaked thriller about identity rather than a deep character study.

Watch it for

the inventive parasite transformations and a tense, propulsive hunt across six tight episodes.

Maybe skip if

you want deep character development rather than fast, gory monster-of-the-week thrills.
