Your reviews give me life. I only kept watching this abomination because I couldn’t wait to see you review it. I can’t believe I wasted almost 2 yrs of my life on this show 😩
@@smittyssnippets1358, I must say, your commentary is EXQUISITE! I suffered thru this show after the S1 premier showed such promise. What's wrong with the writers? Were they secretly replaced by the raisins/dogs ... Oh, I mean an inexperienced team of sub-writers who absolutely DETEST the Sci-fi genre? Because only substitute writers, who Hate to write ... I mean they were kicked all the way out of their English Comprehension classes, hating ALL existence & imagination ... Would write this conglomerate of incoherent storylines while assassinating character development; thus killing Invasion. Uuggh ... Please review Apple TV's, "The Changeling". Or, Netflix's, "The Fall of the House of Usher". I'm waiting for your reviews! 😊
@@stephaniegriffin1258 I’m actually watching the first episode of Changeling this very minute. Hopefully it won’t be as bad as Invasion but I don’t have high hopes
I needed this so much. Trevante in jail. Trevante out of jail. The bullets. Hahahahah. The bullets that do nothing to the aliens. And how long it took Trevante to get into the portal...talk about dragging the show out. The portal DID look like the alien, just moving faster. And at the end, Casper's eyes looked possessed. So is he helping Trevante or taking him to his death? I dont mean literally, because no matter what, Trevante doesn't die. He squeezes through bar cells and dodges bullets. Thanks for the laugh. Very much appreciated.
So glad we found you! We went looking for reviews after watching the finale because we couldn’t believe how incredibly dumb this show is. Your takes made us feel like we’re not alone😂. You wanna know another that’s batshit nuts? 30 Monedas or 30 Coins from HBO. Great ideas & cool concepts with horrific writing. Entertaining af though, would love to hear you review it. Thanks for the laughs!
Content idea: we all just got to experience something special together. Nothing I've ever watched has been everything this show was(nt). I dont think it can be experienced after-the-fact, and I would never recommend someone waste their time watching anyways. But I still want to be able to explain what this phenomenon was. What about a video that does just that? Maybe like the first minute or two giving the highest level overview of how every single thing was wrong or dumb or went nowhere etc etc, then the rest getting into more of that? A summary/recap with the same passion, rage, and indifference that made us all fall in love with-and find relief and support from-your videos these last 10 weeks.
@@smittyssnippets1358 It would also be nice if you could interview a shrink and let him explain the psychology of why on earth did we keep watching that monstrosity till the end.
My own 'eyeball viewage' of this show ended about 30 minutes into Episode 1 of this season. That was it. All I could bother with. Bless you for doing the dirty deed of watching and reporting on the episodes. It's been hilarious (your reviews, not the show).
They knew they would need the space suits bc they had Mitts look for and open the portal with the connection she had from the jungle?? The president knew about the aliens attacking so they had mitts open a portal there so they could send people through. The blobs are portals but I guess they’re sentient or can communicate using the portal?? In conclusion: this show SUCKS! 😭😭😭😭
I’ll never understand how Maya is still here after clearly being fired. Where are all the people in this billion dollar facility? Why is every room so fucking dark? So many questions smh
You're so good at expressing the frustrations we are feeling and making it funny. Almost makes me wish for another ridiculous show. Then again, I bet there's a season 3 coming.
@@smittyssnippets1358 I'll be watching season 3 just to watch your videos after and crack up laughing. I talk to my tablet and tell you I agree with you, as if you could hear me.
I just finished watching the episode and all I could think is “The arrogance to believe that we’d want a 3rd season of a show that leads NO WHERE.”.. the fact that Trevante STRIPPED a soldier NAKED, on Main Street, in front of EVERYONE, took their space suit and no one stopped him boggles my mind!!
@@Analysta654 OMG!! It was a woman!!!!!!! Sooo he stripped a white woman naked on Main Street in front of EVERYONE, stole her space suite that just happened to fit him perfectly, the space boots?? Fit perfectly 😩 and that poor woman is still knocked out naked on the street 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The thing is, the show had so so much potential. Drags to much, no realisticness and no actual climax. I do really hate that little boy though. You know the one that keeps making those stupid faces that somehow can stop the aliens with his thoughts. I can't stand that character or his acting or even his face. He just comes off as a really snobby little .**..I guess that much they accomplished.
I don’t think I’ll have the stomach for watching a very stretched whole season of Trevante and Casper the Friendly Ghost wondering through that alienless empty maze. But, I’ll definitely be back for your entertaining and spot-on reviews.
It is worse than Another Life or The Ark. Inept aliens, children as Mary Sue McGuffins who will save the world. The dialogs are more stupid than usual and whatever happened to sam Neill??????? Sheesh!!!!!!!!!!! Want to bet it gets a third season while high concept masterpieces like Snowpiercer or Raised by Wolves, Westworld, not to mention Firefly are mercilessly and stupidly cancelled... BTW - once the townsfolk know the aliens are coming, instead of taking shelter in their cellars or bomb shelters etc. they mill about on the streets like headless chickens so the aliens could kill them more easily...
This series went from about a B+ in season 1 to a D- in this season, dreadful. Yeah WTF indeed…it was worse than one of those 1970’s Alien invasion shows.
Appreciate you man, me and my family love your reviews! It's like group therapy for those of us too damn stubborn to stop watching... after every stupid episode we spend 15 minutes laughing because of you
What i can't believe is season 2 is over and we STILL don't even have an idea to what the aliens want. They just invaded and nobody's like What the fuck do they want? I am guessing it has something to do with the psychic kids like casper and the annoying boy. Idk though that's the only thing i can piece together. Otherwise they're just chilling and killing.
Well then the portal entity seemed responsive and friendly to mitsuki which is totally 180 degrees from ago the rest that just murder anything. I know the female President made reference that they're making parts og earth uninhabitable. So I was like ok they're terraforming...but the friendly portal kinda muddied the waters as to their motivation. Granted the portal turned everybody else into veggies but it seemed infatuated with mitsuki. Overall I likes season 2 better than 1. I think this shows real problem is I like the idea of following all these different characters and watching how this would affect everyday normal peeps but there's too many and they don't really do anything. Mitsuki and Trevante seem to be the only proactive characters trying to figure things out and to do something about it. I guess casper too. But there's too many things not bring revealed and that's pissing me off. Like how can these kits be psychic and connect with the alien give mind to the point of actually controlling the aliens bodies? Like that's actually kinda cool and unique but we have no answers or explanations. A little mystery is good and builds intrigue but after 2 seasons I don't feel like a know anymore than we did by the end of season 1. But Damn Maya waa annoying dude and I could see the lesbian setup a billion miles away
@@aarondrake69that alien was gas lighting Mitsuki real hard lol. The alien asked Mitsuki why she’s hurting it, and she replies because you’re killing us, and then the alien says only after their ship got nuked. So is the Alien trying to have us forget that they were killing people from day 1 lol. I wish they went back to that conversation, I felt like we were getting close to aliens motivations but oh well I guess.
At one point in this miserable 45 minutes of utter shit, the mom's Movement boyfriend tells the military that they know the military has been looking for a portal. So that establishes why the writers sent three guys with suits on into the entity. And I figure the army is working with the world organization that's now trying to establish a portal connection. But, and it might be because I fast-forwarded so many times through these last several episodes, I don't recall The Movement ever finding out that the military was looking for a portal.
If there is a season 3, I'm not watching it. What I'll do instead is watch your reviews and salty nerds reviews, if they keep reviewing the show. And if I hear about any cool space scenes or cool aliens on the ship from you guys, then I'll watch those episodes. I just don't have the time for this horrible sci-fi show anymore. Apple should be ashamed that they ever allowed this crap on their channel. What a total disgrace.
Hahaha… f this dumb show. Thank you for consuming and processing it into entertainment for us. Apple TV owes you one. Really looking forward to your collab with salty nerds.
You are the best. I was catatonic as I watched most of it. There is not enough cussing. It’s just stupid. I literally don’t care about any character. Not a single favorite. I just don’t care about it. I watch it for your review. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😂
@@smittyssnippets1358 I told you I was gone ride with you. I think you would enjoy Foundation in Apple and Castlevania or The Witcher or Sandman all on Netflix.
Spot on review, as always! This show is officially classified as a cinematic hate crime. The only redeemable quality is your reviews. They should really consider putting you on the payroll cuz why else would anyone watch that mess?
Your channel growth has never been this good largely due to there only being two channels doing consistent reviews of this show which has a decent size audience, allowing you to stand out when people search for content about the show. Then you have retained the viewers because your content is good. Don't feel the need to watch bad shows, as long as you are making content that you can be passionate about and that stands out, you will grow. Maybe reviewing bad shows is your thing and that's fine too.
@@smittyssnippets1358 Severance is a great show as well as Silo. Kind of niche enough to stand out as a creator making consistent content about them. You'd be a little late for season 1 but they have multiple seasons coming.

I just finished season 2 & came across this channel. You fucking hilarious so I subscribed just to watch you react to more stuff 😂
Glad I could entertain you my friend. I appreciate you subscribing.
looking forward to discussing this with you. i think im going to have to drink.. a lot..
Lmao gonna be a blast. This was the biggest bag of ass I have ever seen. Freaking hate this show
