Invasion — Season 1

Critics Reviews

James Dyer Empire Magazine A smaller-scale account of alien attack that foregoes the usual city-busting CGI in favour of a more intimate, personal approach. It takes its sweet time about it, though. Rated: 3/5 Oct 30, 2021 Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast Invasion will bore you to tears... Oct 23, 2021 Full Review Melanie McFarland Seattle Post-Intelligencer For a show that begins with a major hurricane, "Invasion" comes off as tremendously dull at times. But the eerie denouement, which hints at sinister events to come, could atone for that sin. Mar 1, 2019 Full Review Norman Wilner NOW Toronto The sci-fi series looks fantastic, but creators Simon Kinberg and David Weil forgot the story... Rated: 1/5 Oct 23, 2021 Full Review Robert Abele L.A. Weekly In Invasion, we see the aliens through the eyes of average folk trying to make sense of their disjointed lives. This gives the show a character-driven Lost sheen, but avoids being a copycat. Nov 10, 2018 Full Review Will Wade Common Sense Media Younger fans will be able to relate to the idea of seeing dramatic changes in their world, filtered through the lens of their family. Rated: 4/5 Nov 9, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
