Invasion is an AppleTV+ series about another alien invasion. The show follows five specific characters from around the globe that are played by Golshifteh Farahani as a doctor in America, the beautiful Shioli Kutsuna as a science communication engineer for JASA, Shamier Anderson as a military officer in Afghanistan, and a group of kids from London. You would think the invasion would have been explained or at least make some sense. I felt like I was watching War of the Worlds which has already been done and at least explained. The first season mankind thinks they have achieved victory, while everyone is concentrating on the crash, another bigger invasion is in the works leading up to another season. Casper who is played by Billy Barratt has seizures and knows how to communicate with the aliens much like Picard did in Star Trek with the Borge. There was just too much characterization and not enough explanation. Ray Haratian played an Afghan father, Tom Cullen as a school teacher, Michael Harvey as a rancher, and Sam Neill costarred as a small town sheriff in the first few episodes and never appears again, don't ask me why. I could care less about the story, just too confusing and having storylines from different perspectives did not help. Hope the second season is any better.
