While it's not groundbreaking or as interesting as the first movie, this is still a decent thriller imo. The formula of storytelling is nothing new, but you get what you need in a thriller. Intense scenes, character motivation and brief background stories (whether you like it or not), stupid decisions, final "you're safe now" moment. The only thing I was disappointed most is just Joseph Quinn character. While his acting is nice, I don't get his character. Like there's not enough explanation for his motivation and panic attacks. As long as you're not think about it too much and just for pure entertainment, this is a fun watch to fill the time.

Using 'Invasion' as the title is actually very misleading. Halfway in two seasons already, barely anything happens. Only bunch of people with their personal drama, not to mention bad character development. Most of the characters are annoying, selfish and has no personality. They seem can't get their priorities right. I've watched 13 episodes and what? It's all about the characters useless drama, dragging and dragging. I can't even feel the thrill or the urgency of an alien invasion, they put it like nothing. The set up for each characters are far too long. Remove the aliens from this series, it won't make any difference. Boring as hell.

Nepo babies never bothered me. If they have a talent, doesn't matter if their parents help them landed a role. Here's the thing, while I can't say Lily Rose-Depp is a great actress (yet), she actually has so much potential. I can feel her emotion, actually feeling sorry and connected to her character. This would be a great opportunity and stepping stone for her in the movie industry IF ONLY the writing is better. I can't help but to cringe over the majority of the dialogues, so many unnecessary trying-so-hard to be sexy or iconic scenes. You can make an uncomfortable storyline without making it unbearable to watch. Also, remove Tedros from the series and I bet it'll turn out better.
