Home Invasion

At first I was excited when I saw the cast for this show. John Noble is phenomenal and I enjoyed Morena Baccarin in Firefly / Serenity, but this show is so horrid I couldn't stand it long enough for their roles to get going. This show is in no way funny or interesting. Stupid and boring is the best way to describe it.

I didn't realize this was a series because it was presented as a movie on Prime. Although it explained the filming quality and pacing when when I found out afterwards. Regardless, it made sense to watch it in one sitting as for me there wasn't enough momentum to break it up and keep coming back.

I thought it was an amusing premise and had some enjoyable humour and characters, as well as some good twists. I had at least a couple of lols.

The set up with the nosy neighbour and her hubby was great.

I think it's sometimes enough that a show is entertaining, not everything has to be groundbreaking!

I maybe biased because I like the comedic works of Johan Glans, but he is truly a comedian that deserves a bigger audience. Then you have Morena Baccarin. She can make any sci-fi comedy actioneer fun. Next we have a surprisingly good supporting cast. This 1st season should be all watched together. Many reviews state ripoffs of earlier movies and television, but it actually built on earlier sci-fi and gave it a new twist without being dirty or crude like much of modern television and cinema. You used to be able to turn on the television and watch adult comedies or sci-fi that was clean yet still had amazing drawing power; the building blocks that entertained and continue entertaining millions, if not billions. This 6 episode season has that. It toes the line but stays on the clean side yet can still entertain adults as well as children. It shows that you can keep the mature audience mature without indecency.

To another review; no this could never be a Nickelodeon production in this day and age because it doesn't become immature, politically correct, brainless and bubblegum nonsense. Disney couldn't tough it for the same reason either.

This comedy has so no brainier slap stick and intelligent sarcasm mixed in to the pot with some good adventurous sci-fi to boot. The visuals and cinematography is not your basic cut rate mess either.

America and the rest of the world need sitcoms like this. No more ignorant foul mouthed, mindless and degrading sludge.

Seems like my brain died after watching this. Haven't seen anything so badly scripted for ages.

Despite the title being slightly misleading, this show is a sci-fi comedy. True to its genre, the plot is some-form of hybrid of Mars Attacks!, Men In Black and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and of course pretty surreal. This is average entertainment if one is not expecting bigger than life story. Take it as it is, no- brainer.
