In the aftermath of a terribly destructive hurricane, water-based creatures infiltrate a small Florida town and begin to take over the bodies of the town's inhabitants through a cloning process (first by merging with and then unknowingly replacing them). While this sounds similar to "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers", it is far more sinister as the cloned persons are unaware that they have been replaced.

Creepy, creepy, creepy!

Thanks for making us aware of this one, Randy.

I was afraid that zombies had taken over Hollywood and we'd never get any other kind of series again.
Sad

Steven Wright once remarked, "I woke up one morning and all of my stuff had been stolen... and replaced by exact duplicates." Sounds similar to the description of this series.

And that's certainly a good example of the kind of weird and funny things Steven Wright says. Very Happy

________________________________

Here's an interesting trivia item about this series which I found on Wikipedia.
________________________________

Due to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the aftermath in the southern United States, early on-air promotions were quickly pulled by ABC. The advertising then switched emphasis completely to the alien invasion aspect of the series, while the hurricane received no mention.

The premiere was also preceded with a warning that the show featured images of a fictional hurricane that viewers could be sensitive to.
