We’re trying to rewatch Invasion now that it’s concluded (or cancelled). First season is heavy going, lots of parallel plots that only slowly intertwine if at all, and not necessarily so much happening in every episode.

Next will be a For all mankind rewatch to be fully prepped for the upcoming season 5. Let’s see if we can time it so we can binge the new episodes without a week’s wait in between…

    I was disappointed with Invasion because Sam Neill wasn’t a lead. I only got up to the penultimate of season 1.

    What am I watching? Well it’s always Star Trek. Other than that, The Office Superfan Episodes. Also started Monsterverse.

      Hey, Sam Neill was in most of the first episode! 😆 Yeah, that was a weird stunt casting choice.

      Rewatching Invasion now, it’s really not that good. It’s as if somebody said during brainstorming, “Hey, slow burn is pretty big right now, how about we make this NO BURN?”

      Something like half of the screentime is dedicated to a family that just seem to wander aimlessly around North America. Then smash cut to a few minutes of something actually relevant to the story.
