Breakthrough

Golshifteh Farahani Is such a terrible actor! Vacillating between blank expressions with dead expressionless eyes and constant heavy breathing combined with a pointless storyline for her character just wrecks this series. If this series continues, then they either need to kill off her character or get a better actor (or get her some acting lessons).

The series also needs to work in the aliens a great deal more. It is less of an alien movie than it is a teen romance show. Ironically, every youth actor on this show is better than Farahani. Unfortunately, the ubiquitous trope of the kid causing most of the problems and deaths to those adults around them is used excessively in the series.

Wow! Filmmakers in the US love portraying the US armed forces as totally inept. Are we to believe a high security facility can be breached by an ex-soldier and a bunch of amateurs?? Well apparently so. It's cringeworthy and the love story (ies) with a hint of scifi continues. The story is becoming weaker episode by episode and the way the chain of command is regularly broken to keep the agenda going is laughable. By the way where's all the dead bodies? Are we to believe the whole of the U. K. or European population is holed up in small enclaves? Hundreds of millions of people? What rubbish. Where's all the starving dogs, cats etc. Even when the characters travel there are no farm animals. I'm sure the CGI could 'draw' them in. By the way writers. Any soldier who leaves or loses his radio will report it and the crypto will be changed. Also why did they make the mother so unlikeable. I've never watched a series where I've rooted for one of the characters to be knocked off. Why do they make it so unbelievable. Anyhoo only one episode of this absolute trash to go.
