Glowy things from under the sea take advantage of (or create) a hurricane in order to insinuate themselves into humans, causing problems for the extended family of a local lawman. All of which is smoothly done, I suppose, except that the weird things are more described as weird than actually seeming interestingly weird.
Smoothly made, I suppose, but for all the inhumans, hurricanes, conspiracies, and so forth, I never found myself caring.
This one comes from Shaun Cassidy, former star of The Hardy Boys and creator of the cult flop American Gothic… which I don’t have particularly good memories (in either the sense of “positive memories” or of “clear memories”) of.
For weeks I’ve been reading in various new season preview pieces about how Invasion is the best of the three new alien water dramas, if not actually the best new drama, period. I don’t know if it was my natural overhype backlash factor kicking in or what, but I found Invasion to be not so special. So far I still like Surface the best, but I’ll continue to check out Threshold and Invasion for a little while just because shows with SF elements are “my thing” and because they’re both in reasonably convenient time slots. Hey, they almost gotta be more believable than Prison Break!
