    “Invasion,” a new series that concerns a sudden alien invasion but is much more about the people, is a refreshing and often thrilling juggling of plot-threads that involve incredibly flawed or hurtful decisions made in the name of survival.

    The writing and the performances are so strong in “Invasion” that we’d be drawn to these stories even if the sci-fi element never came into play. Ever-reliable Sam Neill delivers subtle and strong work as Sheriff Tyson.

    It’s good enough to stay with, that’s for sure. It does feel like, though, that the aliens are going to be beside the point in this show, kind of like the zombies became after the first season of The Walking Dead. And we’re not sure we want to see yet another series where other people are way worse than the unknown enemy that’s invading our world.

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!
