Yes, it has a bit of a slow pacing. Yes, it borrowed a lot from War of the Worlds. But despite this, it has very good acting, great computer effects, good story telling and enough tension to keep you skip to the next episode. If you consider this a War of the Worlds adaption, it is the best one. It would be a shame if there will be no second season.

Slow and uninspiring, with aliens that look a lot like furbees with spikes. In short, I can't recommend this sci fi stinker, on any level.

Invasion: Delusions of Grandeur

Not so much "slow burn" but more "no burn". I'm quite partial to slow sci-fi, but this has no characters I can care about, zero charm or personality, and a glacial non-sensical plot. It mistakes "sombre and ponderous" for "meaningful": it's basically B-movie, ID4-style schlock, but thinks it's Citizen Kane.

I write this after watching Season 2 Episode 5. I keep thinking it'll get better ... it has to get better. It won't. Don't make the same mistake I did – there's still time to save yourself.

On the plus side, it looks lovely and is quite good for the five seconds Sam Neil is in it.

Absolutely garbage. The story is as slow as the molasses pouring. It is NOT sci-fi. It is more like Days of Our Lives spin-off or something. I DO NOT recommend this as a sci-fi series. But if you are into noontime soap show, then I highly recommend this.

WAJO!

What on earth is this show? There is less of extraterrestrials and more of insipid drama of humans.

There's no explanation of this repeated word. Perhaps esteemed writers and show runners thought they are going to create something far beyond human intelligence and will be talked among sci-fans for decades, but what they ended up making is putrid muck.

Finally, I blame Sam Niel for making me watch this show. Had no idea his screen presence will be short lived.
