    it's so boring

    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.

    Too many logic holes even for SciFi

    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've never fast forwarded as much

    For the love of God!!!!

    --Too much unnecessary repetitive dramatic conversation --The audience got it the first 100,000 times on the first season.

    I started out genuinely interested in several of the characters buuuuut I've literally never watched a series where I felt like the writers were almost forcing me to dislike every character by the end And speaking of endings-- season 2 .... Really.. Largest waste of my time Award Winner of the year. I will attempt to run over my own head with my car before I'll attempt to watch a third season. I hope the aliens eat the production team of this series.

    Do not bother watching.

    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.

    Trying to get into Season 2 and it is ROUGH

    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.

    • Trivia
      One of the meanings of Mitsuki in Japanese is "Full Moon" and one of the meanings of Hinata is "Sun"... That makes the lovable lesbian couple (portrayed by Shioli Kutsuna and Rinko Kikuchi) a perfect complement to each other.
