Invasión

This "sci-fi thriller" is in fact a slow, character-driven melodrama with a cast of unlikable and underdeveloped characters. The writing is frequently described as aggressively bad, with characters making illogical decisions and repeating the same dramatic conversations over and over again, leaving viewers bored and disengaged. Instead of delivering on its compelling premise, the show teases viewers with action before cutting away to uninteresting and contrived personal storylines, with the alien threat relegated to a backdrop for human drama. This leaves many viewers feeling misled and that their time was wasted on a show that fails to deliver on its core genre appeal.

I liked the first season. It was slow starting, but I eventually got into it. The issue I'm having is that I HATE Luke. He drives me nuts! His mom, Aneesha, isn't much better. Mitsuki's character is somewhat interesting, but her plot points are SLOW. The best part of the show is the kids in the UK, but they don't appear often enough. So, I honestly don't know if I'll be able to keep going. It is so sad because I wanted to like season 2. I agree with all the people who are saying that the bulk of this show is too drama focused and not focused enough on the threat posed by the aliens. It just doesn't feel all that realistic. Throw in the interactions between the new knockoff UN and Nikhil Kapoor and it is just a bit silly.

Invasion is actually a pretty decent show. There are so many alien invasion shows and movies to choose from these days but I'd definitely recommend putting this on your list to watch. Some sci-fi fans may be a little disappointed because it doesn't have a bunch of action, it takes it time to build the story. It's about a group of aliens that come to Earth and threatens the very existence of humanity. The show follows five ordinary people from all over the world in real time as they do their best to survive this invasion. If you don't like slow burn tv shows then you probably won't like this either but I still think you should at least give it a chance. You might just like it.

Annoying and completely stupid acting actors. Rarely seen a more unlikeable main character than Aneesha. The series is absolutely average, although the first season is significantly better than the second one. In the second season, the actors rarely acted logically in my opinion. The series can easily be watched on the side, it doesn't require uninterrupted attention. Unfortunately, the spark doesn't really jump over in terms of the characters, cast and above all sympathetic characters would probably have helped. Average entertainment, I stuck with it, but would have expected and hoped for much more.

Just starting watching Invasion with my brother and have to say that I really enjoyed it so far. It does start a little slow while it builds its world and characters up but I don't mind that. It does a good job of making you actually care about what happens to these characters. I don't understand why there are so many mixed reviews. If you like this kind of sci-fi genre then there's no reason not to like this. The acting and writing are both great as are the visuals. I'm glad that it did well enough to warrant another season because there's definitely still more story to tell. The biggest problem is we have to wait two years in between seasons and by then I've forgotten most of what happened.
