The second season picks up just months later with the aliens escalating their attacks in an all-out war against the humans.

Community reviews for Invasion, shown here with its season details.
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.
