One thing I hate about this show is despite the characters running around confused in the midst of a global invasion, they seem to have no interest in finding out what's actually happening.
Would you risk your life trying to find out something that you might not figure out .this show is trying to be realistic.season two is about why and them figuring it out
Usually I’d agree with you but after seeing how the majority of people reacted to COVID-19, that’s honestly the most believable part of the show
@@Shevy_SebyIt's a show about a freaking alien invasion. If I want believable I'd go watch any soup opera from my country that deals with cheating husband, lesbian shenanigans, bullied kids and whatnot. This show is the worst thing I've ever watched in my entire life.
@@Henrique.Souza0601 couldn't agree more, it's so bad every time I see promotional articles about season 2 I get triggered at how much of a waste of time season 1 was. Just the worst amateurish scribbles for ideas loosely duct taped together into a ball with hundreds of millions of dollars thrown at it. An obscene waste.
@@Shevy_Sebythis show is not trying to be realistic let's take the kid that keeps having seizures black girl follows him to his house finds his mom is dead and what does the black girl do tends to his needs all the way up until he dies. in real life if I see your mom is dead im going to go find my mom next she doesn't even think about finding her mom until all the aliens are dead.
That is not a "slow burn" It's like watching a glacier slowly moving over millennia. Sam Neal appears in the first episode and then immediately dies. That story line is then forever abandoned. Some kids suffer from nose bleeding. Eight episodes in, we don't know why.
There is an invasion in the background we never get to see. We just hear messages telling people to evacuate this and that area. People are telling us that armies were decimated, military bases destroyed but we get to see nothing. Where, how, who did it.. nothing.
Rarely, we see some insect like creatures that kill random people with a sting, but can also be killed by mild hits on the head while passively accepting their fate, while various characters tell the audience how lethal these creatures are supposed to be. No they are not. Don't tell us how lethal they are, show us. They don't even have any kind of real, actual weapons. These things decimated armies? Really?
90% of the show is melodrama, that has really nothing to do with the "invasion". The husband is cheating on his wife and the wife is cheating on her husband. if you like melodramas, the invisible alien invasion premise will spoil it for you. If you like sci-fi shows, this is not really a sci-fi show. if you like slow burn shows, you need some fire and something to slowly burn and there is nothing there either.
Do you think he’s really dead?
well, you're on Season 1, if u read the reviews before watching the show then u would know that the show is not your typical Alien Invasion Show, however this is Season 1, the problem with this type of show is u either get annoying characters like in Another Life on Netflix, which also has a somewhat convoluted plot, but the Netflix Show isn't really that bad, could have done with a better budget, and less annoying characters in the first half of Season 1, then u have the French Show : War of The Worlds, which has a very similar plot as Invasion, though, Invasion is slower then that show is, but the French show also is slow, i believe "V" also was a slow show aswell, all of these shows deal with an Alien Invasion, and they are all somewhat slow, except for Another Life, but that show has alot of it's own problems aswell, i think it is a genre specific problem, but i also feel like Season 1 of this show is leading to something alot more exciting in Season 2, also if u didn't know, but i am assuming u do, that the last episode of Season 1 is literally called : The First Day, so yes the show is somewhat experimental in the fact that it is leading to something greater in Season 2, but the main point of Season 1 is to familiarize yourself with the characters in Season 1, would be a pretty boring show if there is no character depth whatsoever, i am so tired of audiences just wanting action scenes 24/7, wanting a perfect show / film, etc, obviously there are shows, and films that are not perfect, but i think atleast in scifi it is moreso about the ideas then the action, yes action is nice to have here and there, but at some point if a film, or show doesn't make u question things then what is the point of that show, or film, i think modern audiences would benefit alot from just going into a show, or film, and not worrying about what reviewers say aswell, draw your own conclusions, and give a show more then a few episodes, or even 1 Season to first of all get itself off the ground, so to speak, and then to wow audiences with a story that it is building towards, especially in there high budget, multi season shows...
@@JjAnterosI think the finale of invasion shows us that the invasion force shown in the show was the scouting force and the real threat is here as seen in the final scene with the new massive ship arriving.
Amazing review! Couldn't agree more. I'd just add: Mitsuki is the worst character ever. Period. So shallow. Just cries. Just is "the one" who can do shit just because. OMG just looking at this woman at this point makes me as pissed off as it was to look at Skyler in Breaking Bad. Jesus Christ how can a show so bad be renewed for a 2nd season? I'd bet a million dollars it won't get to the 3rd.
“And Something mysterious happens”
😂😂😂😂
The probem with this series is they have FIVE! storylines being told in an episode instead of focusing on one per episode. So it keeps jumping around back and forth between these individuals and it made it SUPER SLOOOOOOW BURN! i was interested specially the Bullied Kid in UK and the Family in US but it's frustrating that they chose to do this on a weekly series.
Bruh its better because these alien moves always focus on America only
Looks like they’re going one story line per episode now and I do like it a bit better like this
@@edyy2014 me too. If they only focused on one, it would be done in a few episodes. Plus they show that it's a worldwide threat.
Just like the Japanese ones always focus on Japan? I see no problem.@@dribblenomore9646
I just watched the first episode and I'm here to see if it's worth continuing. I think some people confuse "slow-pace" with "quality". If 2 hour length movies can tell a satisfying story, then there's no reason to have a one hour episode achieve nothing except introduce you to boring characters (one of whom is not relevant to the rest of the story). The other thing that bugs me is that they seem to be drawing out the story as if the events are a mystery: the show is titled "Invasion" and the promo blurb says it's about an alien invasion. Sure, the characters need to discover there's an alien invasion happening, but as a viewer, I don't have the patience to wade through 10 hours of viewing to find out what I already knew before even watching the series.
Do not continue, unless you want the best possible example of how far people in the TV industry are willing to go when it comes to ignoring the fact the material they're working with is completely incoherent garbage. Fair play to them, they need to work, and there is clearly a lot of effort being put in, some great looking shots, some great performances (particularly from the young kids in the London bus crash thread), I just find it absurd the writers and directors can put this all together and look at the mess they've made with a straight face, are they insane? Are they being blackmailed?
@@datashatI wasted my time I can’t watch after episode 6
Bro if I could shake your hand, I could; I couldn’t have said it any better
I can walk away cook my dinner and back the story is still the same.
That was exactly how I felt. I would watch two characters having an asinine conversation, forward it by 10 minutes and they are still having their rubbish conversation and still at the same point. After the second episode, I began to fast-forward by several minutes yet the story never progressed forward.
hahahaha within the first 3 mins i was forwarding non stop and now i’m here lol
Nobody noticed how most of the men are depicted.. ? it has become a comon theme in modern movies and series...
i finally felt like puking when there was this scene were ahmed was trying to save his own ass and dump his family.. are you kidding me.. ??
how realistic is that ? how many of us knows a father/ husband dumping their own family to save his own .The Cheating part is understandable.. but no man can ever be that cowardly..
COPE
You haven't met many men ... Husbands or people in general. Maybe where you live your men wouldn't abandon their families. Or you could just be upset because the character shares the same name as you.😂
Unlike the other 2 commenters here, I agree with you. Even a cheating man who was about to leave his wife, which I find disgusting, would not just abandon his kids because it's shown to us that he does genuinely care about his kids & he's an active part of their lives. All modern shows/movies depict men as hapless & of lower moral standing than women. Throw in some "white" skin, & now you're sure to see a man who is just an absolute joke of a human being as he fails at every single thing he ever tries....unless it's a star vehicle for Thomas Cruise.
For One of the rare few times, I am in total agreement with John on this show. I gave up after the third episode as well.
It's not a slow burn but more like a creeping death. All the characters in every story arc are frustratingly annoying. From the flip-flopping wannabe doc mom, to the "i gotta get home" soldier to the love stricken "my way or the highway" space technician. I thought the kids were the only saving grace but now that we are unto episode eight, I just want a space nuke to drop on them.
me 5 ep in and I still wondering where is the invasion !!
This show is the perfect example of the sentence "Some muddle their waters to make them look deep"
Where is my man Rob at?
The slowest invasion any storytelling has ever seen on earth.
I fully agree! While it’s a interesting show, and the stories are good, I felt like it was running tooooooo slow. So I agree it should’ve been fewer stories, or get into more action by the 3rd episode and go back to flashbacks as you introduce new characters.
Movies and tv shows need to get slower imo.
The pacing in Invasion and Foundation is horrible. Interesting stories, but very poor execution. Still, I appreciate the effort. I don't have super high standards for sci fi.
It's a BUILD UP to the actual main pint of the show that's why its a SERIES
@@dribblenomore9646 Well, the season is over and literally nothing happened.
@@marlock6573 guess I was wrong but it's still a curious show I wanna see what happens
Looking forward to how all the characters will be brought together. Intricate & Captivating .
The Japanese storyline is the best one and I do like Shamier Anderson so am interested in his character. Having hard time connecting to the other characters; and using so many unfamiliar actors doesn't help. Sounds like they should've made more episodes available because the first three episodes did plenty of/too much wheel spinning. I like it enough to stick with for now but yeah Foundation is the better sci-fi Apple show for sure.
The science mumbo jumbo that thread is so excruciatingly awful.
Seriously? I just can't stand that storyline. The girl just cries. And cries more. And cries a little more and then more crying. And she's just "the one", the chosen to do the important things, just because. I couldn't care less about the dead GF, she was on screen for 5 fucking minutes for God's sake. The writing in this show is just awful.
It's the most annoying for me tho.. they're so not japanese and all she's do is crying and staring at distant like yeah your girlfriend is dead but there is a major disaster happened😂😂
The characters hate to be loved, and love to be hated. It’s like the only way to make the story/characters compelling is to be emotionally vested.
I’m on episode 8 and Invasion is still dragging a$$.
The Japanese lesbian story is the hardest to believe in. The best characters. Are the sheriff and the Mom with two kids. Hope it gets better.
I’m sure they’ll kill the husband soon. When you have a male character that they portray as a cheater and make the mom hero like then you know the toxic male will die while they’ll keep anyone lesbian alive And heroic
yeah, very typical. @@Chris-ey7zy
I just wanted to say how fantastic this show is and that I was gripped from the opening few seconds right through till the end, a real rollercoaster.
But I'd be lying.
It's fucking diabolical.
By episode 3 I was think of Outer Range on how it was a sci-fi drama too…but the pacing was so clutch, I wish this show intrigued me like that
Yeah. I was disappointed. I will still watch but as background noise at work. Maybe something will catch my attention.
Sam Neill was used as a advertising ploy ,you see his name attached and think ,ahh OK so he is usually great in things even tv land doing the cop in peaky blinders ,and then you find out they hadn't really got the budget you think they must have with a few familiar actor faces and BooM they knock him off in the 1st episode because they hadn't got any more money to have him in another episode ....sneaky mo fos
OH GOD where to begin!!!! I am a sci fi nerd and will gobble up any genre movie or series. But this show is reeeeallly testing my patience. I just finished episode 7 and by now just want it to end.
The only storyline I'm really invested in is the soldier's.
I despise the Japanese storyline, mainly because I don't like "Yuki-Ono's" character at all. JASA has lifted rockets into space and she comes around and suddenly everyone else seems like incompetent bumbling buffoons. Then she's so arrogant, to everyone. Sometimes I'm confused as to why she's talking to someone as if there's some terrible history I've somehow missed.
The suburban family storyline is almost as bad. First of all the lady character is a terrible human being. The husband is a scumbag but she's just the worst. At the very start of the crisis she's already stealing someone's car in cold blood?
The kids' storyline is not too bad, but a bit unrealistic at times. One scene in particular where they just don't seem to grasp that there's something really terrible going on, even in the midst of death and destruction all around them, they separate into smaller groups and say " well, we'll see eacother at school!"
At this point I just really want to know how it ends mostly because of sunk cost fallacy and all that.
I agree with you on it being slow. I am a glutton for punishiment and watched the 4th one. Same Stuff Different Day. Then #5 started telling and showing what they should have been doing in #3. I am still tapping out on this one.
At not quite 2 full episodes in and trying to see if I should soldier on or just give up waiting for something to happen. Eveyry time it looks like something might hapen we switch to a new character and do backstory mode for for them. I get that its a series not a movie, I do expect some foundation to be laied down. Its just knowing how shows are made today I'm questioning if it actually ever will go anywhere.
Like the Netflix movie "How it ends" where it never actually gets anywhere, you never actually find out whats happening, it's just about the interpersonal relationships between the characters.
I'll probably give it until episode 4 or 5 but if I get there and were still in backstory mode I'm going abandon hope.
I may be the only one in this comment section (at the time of typing this) that will say I actually really like the way this show is going.
I am enjoying it and am hooked, especially with the Japanese plotline. I have my problems with the show of course (the school kids with the bully trope is annoying and meh) but I think the show is good, but ey, that's me. Subjectivity and all xD.
Ebony
@@helderalmeida3417 A kindred spirit xD
I liked it too.
@@guy7622 Glad to see you did, I hope it gets a season 2 cause that ending...
Sad to say, I watched all of it. Hoping it would pick up. Maybe it got to second gear by episode 8 or 9, but then shifted down again. Last episode could have been 15 more minutes tacked on number 9. I was very tired of the common tragic story tropes. The characters didn’t make sense at times, which meant all of their actions were useless. Several plot items were confusing. Why was everyone trying to kill that family all of a sudden? What was up with that very odd debriefing of the army guy? Why wouldn’t the mom just tell her kids that their dad died to protect them? For that matter, why didn’t they just stay at the diner with the food and shelter? Honestly, I may have dozed a bit. The mysterious aliens was the best part. The confusing characters with the inundated tragic back stories detracted from whatever the writers were trying to convey. Biggest complaint: the one episode from Sam Neill who was put in the trailers just for click bait. Not cool.
Wasn't that confusing. They were trying to kill the family to get the weapon that could kill the aliens. The debriefing was showing us the aliens we saw on the series were just programmed soldiers of the actual aliens. If they'd just stayed at the diner that wouldn't really of served the story very well.
Agreed. I'm bored with it already. I do like Foundation and See though.
Foundation is boring as fuck to
In a word: *Hollow*
It had potential. Nicely shot, reasonable idea (first person perspective), but the execution was just empty and clickbait endings. There’s a season 2 coming and I’m convinced that’ll be clickbait too, unless they _actually push the damned story forward_ for once.
I watched 5 episodes before giving up. Still nothing happens! Not a slow burn but a no burn!
Anyone know what song is playing in Kandahar when the black guy comes out the tent
The series spends more time on the personal stories of characters rather than on the "Invasion".
Kind of stupid how that Japanese girl sent thousands of videos of her lover to the aliens and the show started playing hopeful ass music as if we’re supposed to be happy
That's what I like about it.
I think the story would be OK if it were told by a different director or written to eliminate the slow shots - which does absolutely nothing to help the show. it feels like a south korean sci-fi drama (like sisyphus - or something).
Wait till you find out that Sam Neil is only in one episode
On E5. This show employs a rather curious pace. That, coupled with a lot of ‘dazed & confused’ facials, is leaving me wanting the writing to ‘invasively-inject’ some coming together of individual character/s reactions and response. Going to watch the rest of E5, but if it stays the same, I’m dropping its option.
Couldnt agree more. Watched with hopeful anticipation....This could be the realistic scifi invasion/alien story we've been waiting for...Nope. Boring, repetitive and too diffuse. Also, the suber bleached out look didnt help either. Too many characters and not enoujgh forward advancement of the plot. Foundation,now there's a gripping well written series!
Foundation is awesome. This is a dumpster fire
It's interesting, but it is so drawn out that it ends up being pretentious.
I'm watching the series on movie HD There are no subtitles so I can't understand what they're saying so that's part of the series that I'm lost on I don't know if I'm missing something interesting or not. I guess they're speaking Japanese I have no idea what they're saying. So I don't really want to get apple tv i already watched season one about to start season 2.
I just finished watching it and I gotta say it was kind of meh to me. I enjoyed the way the invasion was slow and methodical so most of the world didn't know what was really happening but it just never got any better for me. It was slow which didn't bother me at first but it just crawls along the entire time with no real depth other than pushing these characters to the point where I just didn't care anymore. I thought if they stuck with Sham Neil more and did something with the small town discovering what these strange events really meant it would have been cool but nope killed him first episode and they never went back. Ugh and the jumping around between these characters and barely ever showing the aliens or the "attacks" except for a few times didn't build any tension for me. War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise is a great example of building tension and then expanding upon it. This show is just about below average for me.
Good premise. Awful execution. It just takes too long to develop. You get tired by the end of the 1st few episodes. In contrast to See and Foundation, excellent pacing all around.
*I was just a few minutes in the other day and I felt like I was wasting my time*
I watched 3 episodes. If it wasn’t about aliens I’d give up. It’s kind of scatterbrained
I still have a couple of months free. I watch Invasion to go to sleep. Haha
Some shows lack character development… this one has character development on steroids and absolutely no story. Waiting too long for something/anything to happen…
I like the show but yeah the slow burn is a little too slow...and I love slow burners. And I do agree that the all these sorrowful stories are just so cliche and over done now. The show needs a ton of tighter editing. Clip here a clip there and you would have a much better series so far.
But it's not bad just could be better. So far.
Spot on. It was a muddled mess in my opinion.
i might give this show a try i like sci fi been really enjoying the show la brea
I watched first two episodes. I'm fine with the pacing. I find it interesting enough moment to moment that I want to keep watching.There was a slight alien reveal at the end of episode two and that's enough for me for now. We know the alien action is coming. If the invasion happened all at once, shoot em up, bombs, ray beams, whatever -- then the only place to go is more and bigger destruction. Then you end up with Marvel style or whatever. As to the pattern of characters going through a hard time in their lives and then something strange happens, would it be better to watch them living a perfectly great life and then something strange happens? They can't really avoid something strange happening, we don't want them to avoid something strange happening, it's an alien invasion! That's why we're watching -- or not -- I guess for some of us.
It's been 6 episoded now and the 'action' didn't come. This show is terrible.
I'm 7 in an still nothing has happened.
Don't waste your time!
It’s becoming very clear that a lot of series are spread out over too many series. So much fluff. I knew I had started invasion before… fast forward a few years and thought try it again to watch the whole thing. I’m now 4 episodes (4 hours) and realizing I did watch this far before, forgetting most of it. Also realizing the formula with this show is way too much fluff and the stories could be told in a much tighter paced movie. I think I’m gonna drop this yet again and move onto something worth my valuable time.
Too slow even for a 10 eps season.
I agree 100 percent with you
Yes. It's just endless slow-motion tease, isn't it?
It looks and sounds great; the acting is excellent.
But the script and the plotting and the timing.... woeful.
Yes, we want quieter moments, we want character development and a bit of introspection.
But this is SCIENCE FICTION.
We also want some, y'know, science fiction.
I love the original War of the Worlds movie from when I was a kid until today and, for the most part, the Tom Cruise version, and I wanted to like this one, but I have to agree with what most people are saying here: the show is dragging on with the back-and-forth between the main subject. It gets tedious fast. For each plot line, I find something that makes me wonder why the characters do this or that. It doesn't seem believable. For instance, the mother who finds out that her husband is having a baby by someone else for good reason is angry. There are arguing while driving to a location. The feel would be safe. Their son says he has to go to the bathroom. They pull over the car. He runs to the top of the hill, in viewing distance of the arguing parents.
In the next shot, we see the boy is gone. I’m guessing that he ran away maybe because of what he overheard what his parents were arguing about(?), But he disappears. When they find him, we are not told if he ran away on his own or maybe the couple whose house seems to be on the other side of the wood took him because they saw he was lost; I have no idea. The arguing couple finds their son and decides to spend the night with the couple from the woods. In the morning, the boy's mom is cooking breakfast. What? Then, the couple from the woods decided they needed to go to the store for supplies-the boy's mom volunteers to go by herself. I guess to get away from the cheating husband. Why aren't they all going together? Why are they not returning to their car to continue to the original destination? They have no ties to the couple in the woods. Why are they staying there? While the mother is looking around the store, she runs into the military. They say they need a doctor, and she just leaves and goes without questioning them and without going back to tell her family what’s going on. It is unrealistic to think the mother would leave her kids. She would go back to get her family. She would tell them what is happening and that the military urgently needs doctors.
I am halfway through episode 5, and it was at this moment that I decided to search UA-cam to see some reviews of this show and read comments from people who have seen it through season two. I want to hear if anyone else was as frustrated with this show as I am. I don’t want to continue watching this show if it’s more of the same, but it sounds like that is the case, so with this in mind, I'm going to bow out and stop watching. I’m sad that it turned out this way. It might get better, but I won’t return because others claim the action picked up in season three or four. That would mean I would have to wade through the rest of season one, and all of two, and that seems ludicrous to me at this point.
I give up on the show. I watched 4 episodes and it’s just way too slow for me. When I find myself playing around on my phone while the episodes are playing and don’t care if u miss something, that’s a bad sign.
I watched episode 1 and 1/4 through episode 2. I quit. Premise is good, but so drawn out and I am bored out of my mind. So damn slow.
I heard it will be picking up pace from a reviewer who've seen all episodes,
they had the opportunity to binge it. not us. the show is a weekly episode with 5 story lines being told per episode jumping around back and forth and it's just frustrating. The only way they could save the negative reactions is to drop the remaining 7 episodes.
I'm 7 or 8 episodes in and still clicking with not much going on.
I actually like it
Just finished the second episode... Nothing happened. NOTHING. HAPPENED.
Totally agree, the first episodes don't show you anything interesting about the "invasion", and this word was the reason I decided to play it. But from episode 5 you start to feel gratefully surprised, finally! It seems that all those hours of boring episodes finally ends. They do it so badly with the first episodes, but now I'm glad to haven't skip the series. I hope that from now they keep it as interesting as 5th and 6th episodes, because I believe this series have potential.
stop lying, it's slow, boring, idiotic and lacking logic till the end
I just watched all 10 episodes in one sitting. I guess it was entertaining enough for me to not stop watching. It was super slow tho. 6.5/10 for me
It’s really good
Imagine waiting for a guy on UA-cam to tell you if you’ll like a show or not..
John giving up on this show after 3 hours is enough for me to not even try it.
This show is a disappointment. So much mellow drama esp with the mom and cheating husband. Pleeeeeese. Plus this whole Japanese lesbian storyline is so bs. Like people care anymore who is with who. Plus they have to look hot too?
@@Chris-ey7zy Clearly you care. How is it bs?
@@roku6666 cardboard characters.
Invasion? What invasion?
First season gets you interested but frustrated as they give you nothing, second season realized it had nothing to give so just wonders and wonders. Probably the worst ending of any season I have ever seen. Don’t even get me started with the annoying family. It had so much potential to be a modern War of the Worlds type with a more interesting alien but we still know nothing.
Loved it. Actually. Watching season 2 as we speak.
I really liked the show but my only gripe with it was the mom and her kids, the kids just pissed me off for the entirety of the show. I also wish we saw more of the aliens too. Overall, I really enjoyed the story especially the Japanese perspective and the perspective of the soldier in Afghanistan
this show has really make me rethink about wanting to have kids 😂😂😂 so freaking annoying
Episode 9 is literally switching threads to exactly identical sequences that don't advance the plot at all. Japanese girl crying with the headphones- Soldier walking around the hospital - Family running through the forest - Japanese girl....
I think this was the most annoying show i've ever seen.
I love this show
I've just watched the 5th episode in less than a minute, fast forward, and still dragging and boring. No invasion. No alien. Just all drama.
it written that way
It was honestly way too slow, I skipped to the last episode and that’s when things finally got really good go back to it watch the last episode episode six you won’t regret it
I think they tried to pulled off an GoT type of story telling, but even they started with less storylines.
I totally agree with you. I really wanted to like this but its very very slow. I lost interest
I'm interested! Nice story lines! And I like the slow building up the tension, it makes me want to check the next ep! Just saw the last one, 5 I think, and things starting to get hotter!
the pace is picking up now. that and the fact that the storyline doesn't get "woke", but is very much more realistic.
@@craiglortie8483 oh yeah! Just watch the last one just now! And they only focus in one story line....strange! Totally different layout! Let's see the next one....
Boy, that sounds repetitive.
Just made it to the 4th episode. Minor alien contact but amazed at how much detail has gone into making the character Manny a self hating piece of sh*t.
This show starts at episode 7. So weird. I taped out then a friend told me it gets better and I gave it a go. Can't say I regret that. Its so good after 7th episode.
i do not know why, but i am the only one have Vision Problems? i just got Apple TV, it is so dark, i cannot See much of anything, i am watching on MacBookpro and all setting to "See" are dismal
is this a General Problem with Apple TV, or did they shoot this movie dark?
I am losing hope. have been watching this show in 1.5 Speed
@@nikolaiprophet i think i Apple TV is the worst, i will end the Subskription
starts at episode 6 actually
@@danteoniichan was awful
I felt the same way, but by the middle of EP 4 it really picks up and overall I enjoyed it and look forward to the next season.
I’m enjoying it!
Watch Foundation its awesome!
I have always been fascinated by people who take one thought, a sentence at best, and make a 10 minutes video about it. Takes courage to allow yourself to do that in front of other people. And then to do it for a living... talking about boring stuff. mind-blowing!
I am enjoying this show
If you compare the storytelling, you’re gonna make yourself not like it. What human is in a good place? That’s the whole point.
Need season 3 like NOW!
Ey
Another smoldering show that I watch cause not much else going on. The once I like seem to come in short seasons like Yellowstone and it’s spin-offs. This show will be like many that goes a season or three and ands with nothing.
I liked it.
I tapped out after 15 minutes. It wasn't doing anything new and it was sooooo slow
I'm paying 2.5 dollars a month for Apple bundle , for that much im getting more than i bargained for😆... Although the story (till episode 5 at least) is mostly uninteresting, bland & glacial, the acting is pretty decent & the camera work,cinematography & locations are excellent
3 Episodes in and there has been little to no action , wait let me rephrase that, there has been ZERO action. No reason to watch this at all it’s a waste of time.
Character development is clumsy and just wanders looking for a hook into a plot that doesn't seem to be coming.
Apple TV+ got lucky with Ted Lasso, but other than that it feels like a dead service. I liked Season 1 of the Morning Show, but I think I got bored of Season 2. There isn’t much else going on
Come on, John, Kinberg fucked the Dark Phoenix story not once, but TWICE. He singlehandedly made it impossible for anyone ever wanting to do the story again.
Something mysterious happens
How did the arrogant Seal get to London?
Crazy.. I know a lot of people feel like you do about this show. I on the other hand LOVED it! It was one show where I absolutely didn't mind the pace.
One of the reasons I really liked this, is because when we do see the aliens or there is something crazy happening, it made it much more intense. Also, the show is compounding. It amps up over the season. The pacing is the only thing people seem to talk about, and believe me I totally get it. However, there is sooooo much more to appreciate about this show. The acting is fantastic. Character development is pretty decent, and the way they unfold the stories from that many characters was done pretty well in my opinion. The sound and visual FX are incredible. Cinematography was friggin great. Besides pacing, it was killer I think! Something about it.. just has a neat scary but realistic dark vibe to it. I think the slower pacing tends to leave more of a realistic impression.
I am super stoked for season 2. I know the directors and producers were aware of the pacing feedback and I have no doubt the next season will see much more action and intensity.
I couldn't agree more! I want to like this show but it's been brutally slow and repetitive so far.
I was just tired of the damn girl saying ‘Hinata’ every episode.
Is that thing in front of you a vertical computer monitor or the biggest fucking tablet in existence?
