I have been watching this. I have to say that for a show called Aliens there have not been that many aliens. It really seems to be centered more around the humans. I have not watched that last episode yet. The interesting thing is there are some really unlikable characters in this show. Not sure if that is intentional but just like Foundation....I am unsure how I feel about this show.

I’ve enjoyed this so far. It’s taken almost an entire season for them to realize they’re being invaded by aliens. I think that’s realistic.

The show is finishing pretty strong. It took a bit to find it's legs but I have some serious hope for Season 2 the way this is going. Seems like they are setting up for a reveal at the end.

They better because most of the separate stories aren’t going anywhere.

Yeah not much has transpired other than the Japanese storyline. And I’m one that really likes a slow burn.

Wife and I just binged this series. In general, we found it quite good and enjoyed the different storylines (some much better than others). Had to grit our teeth a little over some of the plot holes/bad science, but....... IT'S A MOVIE, GARTH!. We give it 4 out of 5 stars and am looking forward to season 2, starting 8/23/23

This show is so uneven. 2 episodes into S2 and the first was good and the 2nd one sucked. They have too many story lines going. Cut at least 2 of the 4. I have no stake in the family running around and if they keep the son being so whiny than they should really cut it. Either that or I'm rooting for the aliens. The soldier's story in S1 was the worse of the lot and it's working hard to hold the title so far.

The kids aren't grabbing me either but I could see it leading to somewhere with Casper. If they have a good plan then keep it, if not cut. I can see how this one can tie into the Japanese story line though.

I'm enjoying the Japanese story line though. I want more of it. It's what a show called "Invasion" should be. Aliens attacking with us fighting back. Not some emo kid whining for no good reason.

"Cliffhanger " season finale with no assurance of a season 3.

Thanks, Obama!

Honestly, it doesn't bother me since I'm done with the show. Those last few episodes were a slog to get through. Unless they majorly retool the show I'm out even if it gets renewed. This has been Apple's big sci-fi miss after a bunch of good ones.
