    perhaps the worst show ever made. the writing is so cheesy and predictable - it is so cringe worthy like so much apple content that i dont get who is at the helm and why they are not hiring writers of decent calibre. if you love the genre maybe watch for the effects but thats it. a painful 58 minutes to sum it up

    Wow, this show is bad. It illustrates everything that's wrong with Hollywood. Put simply, it's boring and predictable. It tries to go woke, with a lesbian main character who saves the world. But this character somehow saves the world not with science, but by some kind of emotional-magic pouting about her sadness and grief over her lost girlfriend (Season 1). Really, it's thatWow, this show is bad. It illustrates everything that's wrong with Hollywood. Put simply, it's boring and predictable.

But this character somehow saves the world not with science, but by some kind of emotional-magic pouting about her sadness and grief over her lost girlfriend (Season 1). Really, it's that incomprehensible. And the nonsense (and pouting and crying) continues into Season 2. This stab at global wokeness doesn't somehow further 2SLGBTQIA+ rights but backfires, rendering untrue stereotypes of women as emotional hysterical beings incapable of rational scientific decision-making. Watch this to see how money can be burned by unimaginative, risk-averse writers. The most boring bonfire you'll ever see.… Expand

    1 point for special effects. Season 1 underplayed things too much, so now Hollywood swings the pendulum waaay out the other way and the screen is chocka-block with aliens.

    And as Hollywood seems to do when they think they've got a hit on their hands but need to give it some oomph for Season 2 and "step it up a notch" they spend a bunch of money on FX and sets and get ChatGPT to write    1 point for special effects.

    And as Hollywood seems to do when they think they've got a hit on their hands but need to give it some oomph for Season 2 and "step it up a notch" they spend a bunch of money on FX and sets and get ChatGPT to write the script, coz who needs writers?

    The writing is so bad. I don't know why critics are giving it a pass. They ignore basic human motivation and gives us corny, predictable trash. The Elon Musk-alike character sits at the desk and says "Showtime" ffs. Its awful.    … Expand

    It took all of season 1 to get to the season 2 episode 1. Season one was very boring and season 2 appears to be following the slow plot. The Aliens need to get involved in the script. First kill of the mother and her kids, waste of time and energy. Second, find a girlfriend for the Japanese gall. 3. Bring back Sam Neill, at least he can act.

    Packing more pathos into its complex run than most shows can muster, there is a real sense of revelation that comes through with Invasion season 2. It might not match contemporaries such as Silo and Foundation in terms of consistency, but more than makes up for that disappointing first run.

    The early going of Invasion season two definitely has fun with the idea that a tech mogul disruptor-in-chief could one day enter a mind meld with encroaching aliens. Nikhil will be one to watch as his motives become more clear.

    There is so much putting the cart before the horse, and when you rack your brain as to why this keeps happening, the only thing that makes sense is that someone or multiple someones in charge just don’t think, deep in their hearts, that the writing is really that important.
