While I agree with the previous comment (whereby this series could have been GREAT, if some aspects of the production had been superior), and although I have only recently watched all the episodes via Amazon.com, I was tremendously disappointed with the fact that INVASION was discontinued after the end of Season-1. There was a great deal of potential for the development of additional episodes... Bearing in mind that I am a major fan of SCI-FI movies & series, I am poised to provide a contribution to these reviews, by placing INVASION among the top 10 science fictions plots I have ever watched. Indeed, because of its unique story line, INVASION WAS truly original, for it is not only unlike any sci-fi story I've seen or read before, but it was also NOT predictable, such as most of the other shows of this genre which I have watched for the past 20 years.Too bad ABC elected to terminate it.

The story is good, its just too bad that the script has to resort to all the soap opera tricks to get it over. Invasion is full of the following...."I need to talk to you....." "I don't have time right now"...This is a tired plot device. Also features...."I don't trust you" "We can't tell anyone just yet" " I need you to come with me right now" "I'm not sure that this strange thing is really strange" "I just want my kids to be protected" "I don't want my kids bothered by this" "Daddy doesn't really love me" "Wow you've changed since the event"This kind of writing treats the audience as stupid. Real people don't distrust each other like this. Real people know each other much better than this. People don't get off work like this. Real people don't go in the water if they know it can change them. Real people don't ignore what is going on around them.The story is interesting from a science point of view, but assumes so low a level of social and mental development in the characters that it is difficult to listen to, let alone watch some of the episodes.

The script, acting, visuals, special effects, episode length, characters, storyline, etc, were all brilliantly written and produced. There is a certain element and standard exposed throughout "Invasion". This could be the beginning of a take over from Stephen King. It was wonderful to sit through the whole series and be engaged with everything on screen. Although a mature classification, this is a sci-fi suitable for youths to watch as well, without the typical swearing, sex and cruel violence. Enjoyable and interesting for everyone to watch. A science fiction story that meets the possibility of what who may be around or within us. Mr Cassidy, we eagerly await in hope of a 2nd series.

This show is very underrated and not very popular but it is definitely worth a watch.As the description says it all begins in the aftermath of a hurricane. The hurricane changed everything, and everyone in the city knows it but no-one knows exactly what's going on. You're going to be blown away by William Fichtner acting, he is a brilliant actor, very intense, and what he began here, he mastered in prison break.He just stoles the show. Unfortunately,sometimes nothing seems good enough and Invasion was canceled. It was absolutely unfair and this show deserved a 2nd season but i guess that's how the entertainment world works.So, if you're looking for a mysterious but still believable sci-fi series with a cool plot and great acting this is it.
