Invasion

I loved it. The story develops in a slow pace. I like the characters and most actors are doing a great job. Found it very entertaining.

This was really great show. Whoever rated low can go somewhere else. I really wanted sci-fi like that and how it takes aim at different stories was very interesting.

Excellent start to the new season. This show is definitely amongst my favourites.

This show requires patience. It's slow and told very much from a ordinary human perspective. However it pays off well from midway onwards. Many people who seem to write badly of the show have done so early on, judging by the dates on the comments.

Don't go into this thinking of it as a action epic, it's very much a drama with bits of action. Some characters are rather unlikeable too at times which is a bit of a odd choice in some places. But the story rewards the viewer the longer you keep with it.

Looking forward to season 2.

Despite the huge amount of disappointment from so many on this show, I loved it. I loved that this alien invasion drama was not America-centric for one, that is a big step forward for me in telling a "global" crisis-level story, and I found it starkly contrasting that the largest representation of American influence was from the war-minded General who said the only response is nuclear and boom there we have it. Seemingly turned the tide but probably opened the door for what is the greater threat to come which is, who sent these aliens. A global crisis should involve a global cast, and for such a massive story, they did spend an incredible amount of time in developing the human drama and for me, from that angle, they involved our imagination when actually confronting aliens first-hand. I found this show, slow at times, no doubt, but ultimately enjoyable. It's a different approach to an invasion story which was not wrapped in a nice neat bow at the end.

Just a highly recommended sci-fi.
Not for those looking for a quick fix though.

I was very sceptic after first 2-3 episodes. Then I've found myself waiting for the next one.
Is the show slow? Yes. Is it boring? No.
There are few main characters with their own separated stories. There is only one main plot: invasion. With each episode you know more about situation (in healthy way 😁 during the episode not at the end), still you don't know where it's all going - I like this way. These are stories someone is telling us, you have no idea what will happen, I'm all in. This is the way :slight_smile:

1st of all...this is sci-fi for adults. I started watching because as a sci-fi fan the previews for season 2 looked good and then I looked up the score for season 1 and was like ooof 50 percent. I am super glad I pushed play it has been a very fun watch... yesss there is a lot of character development and story compared to just showing human vs alien action scenes the whole time...it's slow and effective because unlike the negative reviewers..I am not a child I am also a parent and an adult so we more easily insert ourselves into terrifying situations especially when the acting is very good and the post apocalyptic look and feel is done so well

I liked this show for a few reasons.

1-good character development and storytelling without just making it another brainless “hey, look, aliens destroying stuff!”

2-many complain about the pace. Yes it was slow, but it was refreshing to not blow a wad in the first 5 minutes of the season.

3-beautiful visuals and shots.

You won’t like it if:

- you are a sci-fi buff. It’s more of a sci-fi drama
- you don’t like sci-fi or alien shows that aren’t realistic (can’t believe I typed that, but given some of the complaints in the comments on episodes I guess it needs to be said.
- you want Independence Day part 5.

If you like to watch and get into shows vs sitting there in your phone with shows in the background, give it a chance, it might surprise you.
