What's on TV: Saturday, June 6

Colony (premiere)

SBS Viceland, 9.20pm

The sun is shining in Los Angeles, but the atmosphere in the city is anything but bright. Buildings have been damaged by attacks, food and medicine are in short supply, armed and masked militia men known as Redhats patrol the streets, and people are summarily arrested. In this drama series created by Carlton Cuse (Lost) and Ryan J. Condal, the city is under the control of an initially unseen occupying force. There's a dangerous black market and an underground resistance movement. Will Bowman (Josh Holloway) and his wife, Katie (Sarah Wayne Callies), live with their two children while worrying over the whereabouts of their missing 12-yeard-old son. When Will, a former military man, attempts to locate the boy, he finds himself being offered the chance "to turn crisis into opportunity", and is introduced to a different strata of LA society. Meanwhile, Katie reveals hidden steel as she defies the curfew and obtains much-needed medicine. It's a solid and assured set-up for the three seasons to follow.
