Invasion

I really want to like it but it better pick up pace. They're spending so much time on characters we don't care about or aren't invested in yet. Slow pointless camera pannings, and needless side stories. They need to get us gripped. I wait a week for an hour long episode and virtually nothing happens, week on week. I'm loosing interest and the will to live though another slow or non progressive episode. As a side note if that's the way American soldiers treat foreign nationals in their own country, it's no wonder terrorism exists. It's painful to watch.

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.

I was excited when I saw the trailer for this new Apple series. After the first couple episodes, I kept telling myself it is going to get better. There is something here, I feel it. Yet, this feeling I had about the series never materialized on screen. Instead, what we get are a series of interwoven life stories that are, if I am being honest, at times not that interesting. The science fiction element seems to get lost at times, which is where my disappointment stems from. A pity, as there is clearly potential here. Overall, it's not too bad, but sci-fi fans, no doubt, will be disappointed.

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.

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.
