    It’s a show that is so consistently self-aware of its perceived importance as dramatic television, so shockingly humorless and flat in terms of character/plot, and so fragmented in its storytelling that viewers will just hope the aliens finally land to get these people to stop talking.

    "Invasion" proceeds so incrementally across such a wide range of characters and their responses to extraterrestrial terrorism that you might well lose your way from week to week. Never mind your interest. ... Trevante's behavior is typical of both the writing and direction here, as he fumes, spewing vulgarities no one can hear, abusing the goat herder who treats his wounds and speaking English louder and louder, as if that would help.

I tried binge watching the first 3 episodes, couldn't do it without constantly fast-forwarding the boring parts AND THERE ARE A LOT. In the first 3 epîsodes, there are maybe 5, 10 minutes tops of ok'ish TV. Just forget it. It's horrible.… Full Review »

It's like a Dollar Store "Signs" mixed with Independence day with some Twitter-level political commentary thrown on for extra fun.

    Damn you trailer makers! This looked promising, but reading these reviews, I'm afraid to even turn it on for fear of losing IQ points. SurelyDamn you trailer makers!
