Review of Invasion

Invasion (2021–2024)
3/10
Boring, pretentious, and cliched
21 November 2021
I made it through 7 or 8 episodes and just no longer cared. The storyline has all the usual cliches:

*The one dimensional bully.

*The astronaut who somehow has all the answers and knows everything; everyone against her is also one dimensional and "just doesn't understand." *The woman who presumably dropped out out of Harvard med school to care for her cheating husband and family (it's implied she's smart, but we all know she is just wealthy, which shields her from the consequences of all her bad decisions - dropping out of school, marrying a jerk, etc).

*The retiring officer's last day with just one more mystery to solve.

How many times have we seen all this?

I momentarily thought this show is a lampoon of all these cliches, but no. The producers and directors and writers are actually serious!

I only found two storylines interesting. First, the retiring sheriff and the deputy (which is only shown in the first episode and then inexplicably never again). Second, the storyline about the astronaut who lost her partner to an accident.

The producers think they can use boring, annoying, wealthy characters as a form of style over substance. Maybe they'll learn someday, but it's doubtful.

Oh, and somewhere there's aliens...I think? Don't waste your time.
