    I don't get all the hate this show is getting. I just finished it and I absolutely loved it. Shamir is my favorite on the show and Aneesha was top tier. But it was a really good story. I think alot of people are missing the point.

    If there was ever a "glass is half full" review this is it. I gave up halfway through episode 4. I'm all for slow burns but after sinking 3 hours into this show I've gotten nothing back in return except a small glimpse of... something. With so many other shows competing for our time this one really failed to hook me in. It's the first Apple TV+ show I've seen that's been a disappointment.

      Same here.. I almost dropped it.. and then I decided to press on, and I'm so glad I did. After the third episode, one of them ends up being one of the most heart-pumping moments of any alien encounter I've ever watched. After the third episode... you have to keep watching... you'll get hooked, majorly.

    I just discovered this series a week ago. I was hesitant to get into it because online reviews are brutal but when I saw Invasion had been renewed for a 2nd season I decided to give it a watch. Just finished episode 10 and although it was a downer in terms of action in comparison to episodes 8 and 9 it worked to set up season 2.

  • @aniher4949
    @aniher4949 Год назад +4

    For starters... this is NOT "Independance Day," or another cheese-ass alien flick. I think people get turned off from Invasion because it's such a slow build-up. I am so glad they are continuing to do season two in the face of reviews because this show is awesome. You have to be in for the long haul to get the full implications of all the character development. Because when you finally get to the encounter, you'll be gripping the edge of your seat. They knew what they were doing in creating this show. Imagine your regular mundane life being invaded by a terrifying unknown.. the world collapsing around you, and you have no clue what you're even up against. All you see are the results... the military, abandoned homes, dead bodies, etc., before even seeing anything, first hand. With a typical invasion story, these details are constantly pushed aside for the action. Most alien flicks excuse the human element for the sake of getting to the encounter and conflict, but spend little time exploring the lives of the people involved. Thats what the creators set out to do. This show is NOT about giving you what you want, or what you think you should expect. And honestly, I almost didn't finish it. Watching 3-4 hours of it and not seeing one alien, i started to doubt where this show was going, just because its so different. I wasnt sure if it was leading up to anything, or if this perspective of the world disrupted and the cause remaining a mystery was going to remain and be the entirety of the show... i put it down for a while until i finally thought I wanted to see where it was going, even if it was disappointing. And then, holy sh!t, i dont think any horror film got my heart racing like this did. And i believe its due to the fact that the reality of every character's position in life with the every-day struggles that follow them into the present condition are so ingrained and prevalent that it keeps you attached to them in that realistic perspective. There's a bit of sand in every oyster... an irritent that doesn't just go away when the world collapses. This is what the show focuses on in the beginning, but from multiple stories, establishing detailed personas and situations, so it takes a while. The creators, i believe, have something big in mind. And to be effective and to do it right, it needs to have strong roles with every character, equally having time dedicated to understanding who they are. They followed though and it is so, SO GOOD. For those who came to watch a show about aliens and are expecting things to happen a certain way, they're going to be disappointed. For anyone who enjoys complex storytelling and can comfortably follow the progression for hours, there's something here for you. For either, just keep watching because the payoff is huge. Again... this show is not about fufilling expectations, but if you want a show that is going to bring you closer to what it feels like to be in an actual alien invasion, then this is it! I believe that season 2 is going to be incredible, its going to shine, and i can't wait.

    Have watched the first 2 episodes and unfortunately this feels like so many of Netflix series where the SciFi is just the backdrop for lots of woke drama. As an old SciFi fan all I can say is SciFi is dead. What we have today is emo drama masquerading as SciFi. They put just enough SciFi to make you think its gonna finally switch to monsters/action...but no. Just more emo drama stringing you along while you hope for something to happen. Worst example of this "simmering emo Scifi" was Netflix series based on the Stephen King classic "The Mist". Watched all the episodes and there was not a single monster. Not one!!! Today's SciFi is like munching on styrofoam pretending the next bite will somehow morph into hot buttered popcorn.

    I agree man, this show is soooooo good!! Brings me back to the days when shows had mystery to them. There are so many kids hating this because they need something to happen within 20min or they lose interest… none of them have seen x files, one of the best si fi shows of all time, people need to realize some stories take multiple seasons for things to unfold. I love this show, I’m a huge sifi nerd. Legit brings me back to the days of watching x files Friday night live.

    • @fangan4770
      @fangan4770 2 года назад +2

      Not liking the show has nothing to do with age. I'm pretty sure some here are older than you and are also familiar with sci-fi.
      Apart from the boredom factor, the dialogues are really, really flat and poorly written. There is a lack of logic in many scenes and people behave completely stupidly. (I'm sure British quarries have ways out and why isn't there a bit of water in that hole anyway? But never mind, obviously today's students are all proficient in alpine climbing without a belay)
      And to compare x-files with Invasion is absurd because in most of the episodes the storylines are self-contained (except for some mythology episodes). So it's exactly the opposite of Invasion.
      I would also like to point out that movies like Independence Day already managed in the 90s to show an alien invasion from beginning to end in 138 minutes.
      Of course, that is not the claim for this series. But it shows how storytelling can work without viewers still being bored after 7 episodes.
      Nevertheless, I am of course happy for you that you like Invasion. Strangely enough, I also stay tuned and watch the new episode every Friday night ;-)
      If you like science fiction, I can also recommend the Amazon show "The Expansion". This one is a real gem.

Both shows did not get very good reviews at all, but I'm sure I will enjoy most of what the shows have to offer. Funny how everyone here loves the show, but rotten tomatoes and other review sites really did not like it so much. My question is why does every disaster movie or show have to have characters that start off at the lowest point in their life? Something which must be taught in drama/director school or something, LOL! I hope you guys here are right, I hope I really love this show. Thanks again!

    I don’t know man. I love the other Apple + series’ and I thought going in that this had a chance to be one of my favs but……….the characters are boring as a mug. The show is toned in complete depression. It reminds me of The Leftovers only it is no where near as clever or well written. The narrative moves at such a slow pace that the hitting with a cliffhanger the last 5 mins does nothing but frustrate you because the next episode is right back to the trudge pace. And I usually loooove a slow burn and deep character dives but these characters are not deep enough to dive into. The only one I didn’t get annoyed with was the Sam Neil character who didn’t even show up in EPS 2 & 3. I’m going to try abd hang in there a little longer but this writer has a mixed track record. This trends towards his fail side so far for me.

    I also found the first three episodes to be very lengthy and rather boring. If you want to tell 5 or 6 stories in parallel and also explain the backgrounds of the characters, you need a lot of time. I don't see that the people who actually expected an alien invasion sci-fi series will spend so much time and tolerance to watch hours of family dramas first.

    I very rarely watch review RUclips videos, but this show was on such another level that I had to find the community that is feeling and saw when I just witnessed. I'm a big sci-fi buff. I grew up binge watching Independence day, war of the worlds, and Star wars for the majority of my childhood. So I'm a little biased in the sense of I love alien invasion style movies.. but this one - - this was on such a whole another level! It fulfilled everything I wanted in the show about alien attacking earth and then gave me extra to think about. I'm surprised that this series isn't blowing up all over the internet and media. I feel like perhaps Apple TV's reputation as being newer and piggybacking off of Netflix's subscription style probably hurt the launch of this show more than helped. It's only a matter of time before this is the next bridgeton. squid games has nothing on this show!

    Whenever I think about aliens invading the earth I think to myself "What about some mom with a couple of kids and marital problems? Is her and her husband going to stay together?" and "Whatabout that southern sheriff (who totally isn't irish) and his childish philosophies about life?" and I can't forget about Japan. What's some random girl in Japan up to? That's where the real nitty gritty is. Riveting stuff, absolutely riveting. Especially when I don't speak the language and there's no CC. Then I can spend all my time not having a clue or caring about what is even happening. I love having the aliens be background characters in my Alien Invasion movies. What's Judy from down the block up to? Is her dog going to get the nail manicure we all know it deserves?

    I watching it in 2 days and thought it was a boring slog of a show. Focusing on petty human drama and ignoring the existential crisis facing the planet. For a show called invasion it shows the bare minimum of the invasion.
    Sam Neil was probably glad he was killed off immediately.
    This is the best metaphor for this show… imagine you are a desperate alcoholic atheist needing your fix, you go to a local church because you know churches use alcohol and it’s free. Although it’s the Easter vigil, a 3 hour service, you wait for communion to get sweet relief, maybe chug that chalice you fantasize. You go through all this human sacrificial cult nonsense just to get to the front of the line to find there’s just a sip of wine left. All that misery for nothing. That is Invasion.

      If you take a step back and ponder the concept of the show, you realize this wasn’t pointless.
      Think about what they did with the Sam Neill storyline. They invested in the character, showing him at the end of his career, wrestling with questions of whether he had met his purpose in life. You feel for him (like with the other characters) and you may even share his hope when he descends into the sand trap. He’s onto something. He’s going to have his moment.
      And then he’s gone.
      That’s death. That’s what it does. Questions are left unanswered. Things are left unsaid.
      You have to realize there’s nothing to follow up in that town. It died just like its sheriff just like millions of other townships across the planet.
      That’s the message.

      Exactly .. the actors are good enough , it’s just poorly written and executed , so it comes off as really dull instead of a slow burn .. lets not mention the CGI muzzle flashes that looked like a 13 year old RUclipsr made them !!!.. lol..

    Thank you... When it comes to conducting reviews, much needs to be understood first and foremost , having the ability to know how to leave ones own personal wants of a show/ movie out of breaking the show down is highly commendable and what I seek out ...when sharing personal wants of a show , the context must be made so viewers know the difference and their take on a show isn't sullied by personal bias..so I am very selective with whom I sub to in the reviews community ....Just focusing on what is thought a show should be about when not the creators isn't it.....shows/movies being made lately are not going to just be Abt what Folks are used to seeing about a particular genre ....Ignoring this gets in the way of conducting a proper review.. maybe ..just maybe..the creators meant to tell the story the way the story is being told and may just want the audience to become aware of certain aspects prior to revealing what folks want to see instantly.. important to consider... as instant gratification is not always a feeling to give into...). I also believe that for this particular show the invasion was not going to be mega aggressive out in the open..this kind of invasion was much more sinister as it was meant to be aggressive in secret ways... .. I grew tired of seeing invasion plots being done the same way so this was a breath of fresh air being done differently .... Understanding the intent of shows/movies..etc....this puts one in a better position to conduct proper reviews and or breakdowns...... .. just found ya 😄 and I'm just now able to get into Invasion

    I felt it was extremely poorly written and at times blatantly lazy.
    Examples: no explanation for swimming through space, kid being wheeled down a hall through a door and magically intubated, mom who loves her kids just leaves her kids without hesitation, government trying to be an authority to make hard decisions easily caving in every scene to the whining of one single person who loves someone, aliens who seemingly can’t die by small guns but can by big guns.
    It goes on and on. The aliens looked really cool and unique, unfortunately, due to the constant plot armor and lack of writing, this show failed to meet the potential. It tries to be a smart and provocative drama but nothing really happens the entire time and instead of rooting for these characters you just get annoyed with every one of them.

    Just watched the 10 episodes and as a fan of sci-fi and slow burn movies .... I really didn't like it. I also didn't appreciate how the trailer didn't match the pace of the serie. As if they realised something was off. There are also so many plot holes.
    Spoiler warning =>
    During the whole serie, they try their best to show that the protagonists are all alone. Roads are empty, houses are empty, cities are empty. No planes, no transport, nothing. Then, at the end, the aliens are defeated and everyone is on the streets, all communications work, tv channels broadcast .. minutes after the defeat ... What?
    With seemingly millions of death, the earth should be swarming with aliens .. again nothing
    Where are all the bodies? They show that they leave the bodies behind and just slaughter them .. So where are they? Where is the blood?
    Remember, this is happening during the course of a few days.
    The trailer is packed with action and on the 8h this show lasts, I think there is a total of 20 minutes of combat scenes. The biggest action scene is between humans ???
    Don't even get me started about Sam Neil .. I tuned in to see him. Well that went sour real quick.
    When you combine all this, you just ask yourselve what it was all for and the show as well have started with the arrival of the big alien ship at the end and start from there ..
    So no ...

    This show has so much potential but why would anyone care about a couple having marital issues in the beginning of the apocalypse.

      Because it humanizes them. One of the most intriguing things about the sci-fi and apocalyptic genre, is seeing what we, as humans, will do. How will we react? Showing a married couple not be able to even come close to working on their issues is a refreshing and intimate take into the character development in a show like this.

    I like the show, but it's so hard to relate to. I mean, when have we ever, in real life, faced a global threat that affected literally everyone...so that showing the story from five different world-wide perspectives would even make sense? I can't think of even one such example. Some global threat that would show us how working together, for one another, would benefit us all, but we'd still make decisions against this obvious tenet because of global hierarchy, nationalism, human selfishness, conspiratorial thinking, etc. Nope, not a single example I can think of. Nope. Nope.

I didn’t want to be like Apple TV and take 6 hours to tell everyone that watching 6 episodes of the “character development” was a waste of time. I’m going back to HULU and watch the last episode of the cancelled “Y” The last man. At Least Hulu knows when to pull the plug.

You can think what you like though. For me is needs to pick up more and by 3rd ep. It should of, it think the kids in the bus storyline isn't needed.
