The Tripods

The read

The series ran 2 seasons across 25 episodes and has finished, so there is no cliffhanger risk.

Synopsis

In the year 2089, an alien race stalks the land in towering machines known as Tripods. They have taken over the earth and enslaved mankind with a mind-controlling device, ceremoniously implanted at adolescence. Will Parker, desperate to escape this ritual, leaves the village with his cousin, Henry and attempts to link up with the human resistance movement.
