The problem with Invasion is that it doesn’t tell its viewers that the “invasion” is just a vehicle for a number of dramatic, albeit cliche, scenarios to play within. Some may say that that it’s terrible that a show about an alien invasionThe problem with Invasion is that it doesn’t tell its viewers that the “invasion” is just a vehicle for a number of dramatic, albeit cliche, scenarios to play within. Some may say that that it’s terrible that a show about an alien invasion would have so much familial drama intertwined, however, I just call it unique. I’m not going to say I would or wouldn’t prefer if it wasn’t just your typical invasion story. If all you want it an alien show, this is not the show for you. There are way too many elements in here to scratch that itch for alien content. Another potential turn-off for some could be that the story-telling isn’t so much linear as it can be jarring from time to time, jumping from one of several concurrent storylines to another. What happens on-screen isn’t so complex that each little story is hard to follow, you may just find yourself more invested in one of the stories and be left on a mini cliffhanger until the end of the current episode or the next episode. It can be grating at times, but as a person who has been watching Degrassi since the age of eleven or so, I’m not only used to this type of storytelling, I like it. So, in the end, I don’t think it’s difficult to like this show; you just have to be open to ingesting more drama than you’re probably used to, given the title of the show. Happy watching!… Expand

While it is true it is a slow paced show, it is also, for once, putting the human connections and feelings and substories to the front. If you are looking for an all out war alien show, this won't be it.

If you are looking for an all out war alien show, this won't be it. Honestly, this is the closest thing you could get to a real invasion, because we are not all super soldiers capable of destroying an entire army of aliens with far more advanced technology.… Expand

The show is starting out with character development and moving into the Invasion itself. Using the the same beginning Jaws did where there is a calm before the storm.

Among the large number of politically correct dramas pushing the same trite ideas down our throats, over and over, this one, at least, shows clear signs of a well-written script and a capable director.

It's above average (but the average SciFi is never very good), and suffers from the current trend of trying to make Walking Dead, without the Dead. Some interesting if not over done stories are here, but overall 'OK'.

I loved the slow pacing and the way the story is told. It’s new and different. This series is focused on character development and individual stories. How people would behave if their world was turned upside down.

The invasion happens realistically, the aliens are hidden, almost invisible and when they briefly appear they are incomprehensible in our eyes. This show is painted towards an audience who enjoy suspense and mystery. One of my favs! I absolutely loved season 1.… Expand

A show that follows a whole range of themes. For once not the usual suspense, with a lot of good ideas about what can go wrong and how people "work". Actually more of a drama series with sci-fi elements.
