Invasão

I really loved the first season and so looked forward to the second one. But what a waste. The kid who hates his mother and has one deeply annoying emotional register for the entire series - I cringe when he's on the screen, as well as his cliched ever-suffering mom - just no! Enough. The Mitsuki character is the only one with whom I'm now engaged, other than the actor Shamier Anderson's soldier. Anderson acted his socks off in the first season. But he had a role. But where is he now? And don't get me going on the stereotype hipper than hip tech boss, who knows what's best for everyone - omg, what were they thinking? It's as if they took all the weak aspects of the first season and focused on those at the expense of everything that was truly riveting in the first season - its visual beauty and the mystery of love and friendship in a time of horror and the unknown. What a shame. I'll keep watching it until the end, but my expectations are completely blown.

I really want to like it but it better pick up pace. They're spending so much time on characters we don't care about or aren't invested in yet. Slow pointless camera pannings, and needless side stories. They need to get us gripped. I wait a week for an hour long episode and virtually nothing happens, week on week. I'm loosing interest and the will to live though another slow or non progressive episode. As a side note if that's the way American soldiers treat foreign nationals in their own country, it's no wonder terrorism exists. It's painful to watch.

The first season was pretty good. It kept me watching. It had strong performances from all the actors. But the 2nd season became very boring and poorly put together. Maybe a change of directors? The actor's performances even changed. It went from an A-list caliber show to C-list. I loved the first season enough to give all 8 episodes of this season a chance. I figured maybe it would pick up but it did not. The new characters added are also bland- no disrespect to them because I blame whoever's behind the camera. Even the characters who gave strong performances last season were bland this season.

Characters are poorly written and boring. There's so much unnecessary drama and most scenes are fillers. Aliens are just as lame as the characters in this series. Entertainment level zero.

If you loved rings of power, you will love this one too. It will leave you empty and annoyed. Avoid like the plague.

I would ask you to stop making series like this one, but you won't. So, what's the solution? Leave a bad review, rate it 1 star, hope people will read this and will avoid it.

And to all the bad writers out there who made this possible... you made a terrible mistake when you chose to work as a screenwriter.

I'm a sucker for a good apocalypse and alien invasion story. Invasion showed a lot of potential in the beginning, delivering plenty of mystery around the aliens, their arrival and how they operate.

Sadly, there are two things letting this show down. Firstly, the editing and production. The first season in particular spent time building up an interesting scene, only to cut away to a different character's storyline before the climax. We would return to the original story layer, by which point our tension has diminished. Secondly, there is too much focus on human love stories. Each of the main characters has a love interest, most of which are in some form of conflict. This detracts away from the actual mystery and drama around the alien invaders.

It's a shame, really. The acting and visuals are solid, and the build up of the aliens and invasion themselves are actually pretty good.
