INVASION

This show’s been maligned and ripped apart by the press, so naturally, I was curious. A steamer flagship First Contact show? Sign me up. Does it reinvent the alien invasion drama? ARRIVAL did that back in 2016. It boldly doesn’t even want to go there. Instead, you’re led on four different journeys, through four different landscapes, as humans struggle with the possibility that we are not alone. So far, so good. Now it  hinges on the final two episodes to bring the whole thing home.
