Created and produced by Shaun Cassidy (yes, the former teen idol who also produced American Gothic), Invasion starts in a flurry with a devastating hurricane threatening a Florida city and a 21st-century family happens to be in the middle of it. There's park ranger Russell Groves (Eddie Cibrian) and his wife, Larkin (Lisa Sheridan), who's an inquisitive television reporter. Living with them is Larkin's no-account brother, Dave (Tyler Labine), who blogs about conspiracy theories and aliens while between jobs. Also living with them some of the time are Russell's kids, Rose (Ariel Gade) and Jesse (Evan Peters), who also spend time with their mother, doctor Mariel Underlay (Kari Matchett), who has also remarried, to the town's sinister sheriff, Tom (William Fichtner). Tom also has a child from a previous marriage, sexy teen Kira (Alexis Dziena).

Amid the chaos of the hurricane, little Rose is the only one to notice a group of strange lights dropping from the sky into the water, then Mariel disappears only to turn up in a swamp the next morning, seemingly unharmed but now with a strange affinity for water. Not so lucky is Dave, whose investigation of Rose's colored lights leads to the discovery that those lights have a pretty fierce set of teeth. And what does the sheriff have to hide? Parts of Invasion feel like The X-Files or 24, and obviously the central concept isn't new, but it has enough revelations and spooky chills to keep the viewer coming back for more. Unfortunately, even all that wasn't enough to keep Invasion from being canceled after its first season. The problem is that the season--and the series--ends in a whopping cliffhanger, which may never be resolved. So before you invest yourself into a full season of Invasion, be warned. --David Horiuchi



An ecxellent drama
Review date: 2008-09-19 Rating: 10 out of 10

YES! An EXCELLENT drama science fiction, even today 19.07.2008. I bought the DVD after I watched the whole series again and again at friends places . I had to have it in my sci- fi collection. Such an interesting storyline, accumulating drama as the characters evolve, slow pace which makes it creepy, fascinating details of the inner conflict of the "transformed" Mariel, excellent acting and special effects. This is an intimate and frightening series. The last episode invades my mind! It is a beautiful ending the moment Tom lay in the waves the dead body of Larkin . What is going to happen next? We will never know .! Even so INVASION has the quality of a nightmare At the same time it denotes the struggle of the human being to remain Human and humane despite all!

Great Series
Review date: 2008-08-04 Rating: 8 out of 10

This is one series not to miss, great story line and great characters. I'm not a huge Sci-Fi fan but this show is really good. Unfortunately there was only 1 season made.

superb but shame about ending!
Review date: 2008-01-02 Rating: 10 out of 10

as soon as the first episode aired, i was immediately into it! i was gripped from start to finish and my family was aswell!

one of the best TV programs i have ever seen, its right up there with The X Files!

hopefully the second season will be announced and aired because they just cant leave it at where Larkin is taken! if they want to kill the series off then they should do it properly like kill all of the main characters or have them turned and then killed! or even slowly drift them apart going their separate ways!


A good idea ruined
Review date: 2007-10-01 Rating: 4 out of 10

Invasion started out as a good idea and the first few episodes were worth watching, then after Episode 4 the pace slowed down with the characters continually going round in circles making unbelievable decisions and going absolutely nowhere in the story. I stopped watching after the 8th episode but tuned in towards the end and found the story had become even sillier

Invasion could have been a classic series but failed due to poor script editing, unbelievable characters and a plodding story line.


A tragedy
Review date: 2007-06-11 Rating: 6 out of 10

This show was right up there in my top tv list when it was aired. I loved Taken and this is almost it's equal.

Unfortunatly, it got cut after the first season meaning that the there is no proper end to the season. they could have at least been allowed to go back and reshoot or add an extra episode. It's like when a tv recording cuts off the end of your program!!
