Earth: Final Conflict
en.wikipedia.org

... Earth: Final Conflict is a science fiction television series based on ideas developed by Gene Roddenberry.

The series was produced under the guidance of his widow, Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, who possessed notes kept by Roddenberry that would provide the conceptual basis for the series. It ran for five seasons between October 6, 1997, and May 20, 2002. ...

Early in the 21st century, a race of aliens, the Taelons (often referred to as "the Companions"), travel to Earth and take up residence in limited numbers. The Taelons possess highly advanced technologies, many of which they share with humanity, seemingly out of generosity and good will.

As a result of these advances, disease, war and pollution are nearly eliminated within three years of their arrival.

Despite this, some question whether the Taelons' motives are as benevolent as they appear, and a resistance movement forms to halt the Taelons' ever-growing influence on humanity. ...

An interesting sci-fi series.

I'd really like to see it again ...
