Invasion

I'm not sure what show Charles Hall was watching but it wasn't Invasion. This is purely eerie, original television. Each twist and turn of the plot takes you to places you weren't expecting but are eager to follow. The writing, acting and entire production are first-rate and refreshing. The reviews out there (including magazines such as Entertainment Weekly) agree with me. The problem with this show isn't the show, its cast, crew or anything other than the network. The "powers that be" at the network have done an abysmal job promoting it and keep yanking it from the line-up every time it gets momentum going. So just as fans are getting into the story and are anticipating the next week, they are disappointed with either a rerun or another show that they did not want to see. ABC needs to give the show a real chance. If they did, they would be pleasantly surprised at the audience it would build.

After watching the pilot for this new show I have come to the conclusion that it is at least worth a look. The show has a good and almost intellectual pilot episode that is sure to lead to some pretty good twists and excitement. The acting was not top notch but suited the supernatural surrealistic feel the show was giving off. The settings were realistic and gave the feeling that you were actually there, while the thunderstorm sequence also worked really well.

The pace of the show held really well considering the fact, of controversy or just conflict, the show was a real doozy. A lot may have seemed to be given away in the teasers you see on TV, but don't let those fool you. The show actually has taken a completely different turn on the first episode, leaving me wanting to know more.

I say this show is off to a good start, and I sure can't wait to see what is in store for these likable, often moot characters.

While I agree with the previous comment (whereby this series could have been GREAT, if some aspects of the production had been superior), and although I have only recently watched all the episodes via Amazon.com, I was tremendously disappointed with the fact that INVASION was discontinued after the end of Season-1. There was a great deal of potential for the development of additional episodes...

Bearing in mind that I am a major fan of SCI-FI movies & series, I am poised to provide a contribution to these reviews, by placing INVASION among the top 10 science fictions plots I have ever watched. Indeed, because of its unique story line, INVASION WAS truly original, for it is not only unlike any sci-fi story I've seen or read before, but it was also NOT predictable, such as most of the other shows of this genre which I have watched for the past 20 years.

Too bad ABC elected to terminate it.

I was so disappointed to hear that this show was canceled. There seemed to be so much to come. I thought the actors were wonderful and they kept us guessing from week to week. It was i admit a little slow moving to start with but it was worth the wait when it started to fall in to place. I agree with the previous comments that if you don't have patience this is not the show for you. If anyone knows of a way to save this show please let me know, i will do what i can to bring this back. I thought this was something unique, that might just survive. But, i remember another Shawn Cassidy show i loved a lot also that didn't make it. American Gothic was one of my favorite shows ever and it didn't last either, i think maybe that shows that are just a little off don't make it in the mainstream. They like to pretend it will aka Twin Peaks but even that did't last. It has to be just like every other show to make it. Unfortunately that means this probably won't return. that makes me sad....

I don't know about you, but it has been a long dry spell since we have had the pleasure of viewing a good Sci-fi series since "Earth 2" and X-Files. Sadly shows like this come few and far between. "Invasion" grips you from the very first episode and draws you in. The story line moves along quickly and nearly every episode has you on the edge of your seat. In fact, I wouldn't recommend watching this alone; the creepiness factor is reminiscent of the X files. The location lends to the eeriness, and this show may have the same effect of keeping people out of the water as "Jaws" did. The acting is top notch with a well rounded cast; and the story line is plausible. I can hardly wait for each episode to air. Well Done !!!
