Threshold was a short-lived US television series that ran for 13 episodes, from September 2005 to February 2006.

It was about a secret government task force charged with covering up and trying to stop an alien invasion, following humanity's first contact with extra-terrestrial life.

There was only one regular female character: Dr. Molly Caffrey, a crisis management consultant whose protocol about alien contact, code-named Threshold, became activated as a result of the first contact, and who became the leader of the response team created according to her plan.
