This Is a quality production and is well acted but it seems to forget What it Is quite often..this is Supposed to be scifi and an alien invasion movie,yet it constantly meanders into being a family drama utterly devoid of aliens or even the premise of them. While the wandering directions Are well acted ,especially the scenes with the Asian and Iranian girl, I would have like to see more progress of the alien agenda and less time spent on family relationship melodrama...Im sure the director wanted to try and create a Different alien movie since most invasion ones are Utterly devoid of any humanity and are just aliens attacking with no rhyme or reason..Well here, we have human relations explored deeply, well acted for the most part and yet again we also have the few scenes of alien contact to be wild ,meaningless violence so yet again falls into the pattern of past movie making...Its also Not clear how such violence oriented aliens, without hands or fingers and thumbs, could possible ever Make let alone pilot any kind of spacecraft at all...since they are Not humanoid in design, how were they able to construct Anything? Hopefully in season 2 we can learn of the Reason they appeared
so it can be more than the usual invasion with zero contact ,nor motive explained...One things for sure, the writing needs to be More on point,this is scifi not the family channel and it needs to Move more quickly..Not everyone will have the patience to see this snail paced but cool series play out...we will see.
