Following the success of Lost, Invasion was one of numerous sci-fi-themed shows that debuted in the fall of 2005. But unlike Threshold and Surface, Invasion had the distinct advantage of airing in ABC's slot right after Lost, at 10 p.m. on Wednesdays. Created and produced by Shaun Cassidy (yes, the former teen idol who also produced American Gothic), the series 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 the plum slot following Lost 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

 SAVE THIS SERIES! DEMAND MORE SEASONS! July 7, 2008
Jason Reichenbach (Prestonsburg, Kentucky USA)
Invasion is an excellent series with an excellent plot cast with excellent actors.
THe series presents a fresh new Altantis twist on the X-Files, EBE, Aliens among us theme.
After watching the entire series in this set I am stunned that it was canceled after a single season.
This series should be renewed with a 2nd season.
Cry out!
And for God's sake...be careful near the water's edge!

Lento al inicio, excelente desarrollo June 9, 2008

Compre esta serie, sin grandes expectativas, y comence a verla sin saber que esperar (Soy un gran expectador de series....y en el pasado he empezado a ver otras que por malas no termine).
El inicio empezo, si bien interesante, algo lento. Pero a mediados del 2do DVD las cosas mejoraron notablemente, hasta hacerla espectacular.
Su relacion familiar, personajes, riesgo, conflictos y en general todo el trama de la serie, hizo que esta fuera para mi, muy buena y la cual disfrute hasta el final (por eso tiene mis 5 estrellas).
Realmente lamento que no haya una 2da temporada.....ya que indudablemente me he enganchado en su historia....y tiene un lugar entre las series que recomendare.

Of the 3 new Sci Fi series that debuted on major networks that year, they were all cancelled in reverse order of how good they were. Threshold was the best so got cancelled first, then Surface & then Invasion. As a big Sci Fi fan, I watched all 3 series & Invasion was the only one I couldn't watch through to the last episode because it was so boring. The first episode was interesting & showed promise but after that I had to force myself to watch the following episodes, which were confusing & so dull I finally gave up towards the end. I wish they had continued Threshold & Surface, but Invasion just didn't do anything.
Amazing Invasion May 19, 2008

I think this was one of the most seductive TV series, it held you spellbound until the next episode, very dismayed that there was no new series.
Great show! May 13, 2008

I really enjoyed this show, I wish they would continue it in some way, like a movie or mini-series. Great DVD, just dissappointed that they stopped at 1 season. Real cliff-hanger.
