!Examples:
* AdaptationalVillainy: The book indicated the aliens had imperial ambitions like humanity, and would be content with a VichyEarth, while here they clearly intend to {{kill all humans}}.
* AdultFear: Bill, Helen, Sarah, Jonathan and Chloe are all parents seeking to find or protect their children while aliens invade. Sarah in particular is always reluctant to help others, despite her daughter Emily urging it, because she's concerned with Tom and Emily's welfare over all (plus finding their father/her husband Jonathan. Catherine is also a surrogate parent to her sister Sophie because they lost their parents in Sophie's childhood, who's anxious to learn what became of her.
* AlienInvasion: Naturally, one occurs. However, it differs from the usual depictions as the aliens try to kill most humans first with an EMP attack while also disabling technology, after which they send in robots for the rest.
* {{Cyborg}}: The killer robots the aliens sent to wipe out surviving humans are revealed as having organic interiors, with some nervous system driving them.
* {{EMP}}: The aliens use one that fatally shuts down most humans' brains along with their technology first. In the series the characters who survive were either immune to this or sheltered by metal at the time.
