Invasion

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.

I had to fast forward through several parts to get through it. Way too much drama stretched out in each of the character groups. You start to lose sympathy for some of the characters.

Also, the character Mitsuki Yamato is the most annoying of all. She acts like she's the only lesbian to exist on the planet. Always angry and very immature throwing tantrums through out the whole time. Even after 1 year into the event, she's acting like a spoiled brat. Grow up and put your big girl panties on!! Someone like that supposed to have an administrative position in JASA? Pleassseee, so un-realistic. SMH.

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.

I'll admit, I'm only three episodes in at writing this and I shall revisit once I've hit my limit, or should I actually end up liking it (Strong doubt).

I am all for slow burn and methodical set ups but so far this is nothing but a long hard slog. There are just too many character back stories to build up with which is by no means confusing but I just now have four story arcs spanning three episodes and zero care for any of them. It may not be so bad had the acting not been mediocre at best, or if everyone didn't already seem so bloody depressed.

So far; it's poorly written with garbage dialogue, the pacing is all over the plane and there's no likeable characters, all of that's had me reaching for my phone to fill a good chunk of the 58 min running time.

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.
