This SF invasion series was a bit more watchable than most that come and go quickly, esp. on traditional (retread) network tv, in large part, due to the performance of Bill Fitchner. Unfortunately, it joins that now long line of series that end on a cliffhanger that will never be resolved. It has a good creep factor and generally good pacing and is more reminiscent of the classic ABC series of the 60s, The Invaders, which we remember fondly. I got a typically great deal on a brand new box set (here on ebay, of course) because I thought it warrants another viewing. Far better than the majority of forgettable, laughable, mind-numbing, and downright execrable stuff that can never get very far past a fair or slightly intriguing opening episode--Under the Dome, The Event (one of the worst shows ever), Extant, Surface, Flash Forward and so many others too numerous to name...or dredge up from the memory banks, rightfully and thankfully purged.Read full review

The show was very fascinating and intriguing...something I had planned to watch over a few nights time. There are 6 discs to this entire series and you will quickly find yourself on the last couple of discs very quickly and then you begin to realize this was a single season show intended to carry on to a 2nd season which never was...this show itself is very good but by the end of the series you have no answers. Everything is forever left undone and so therefore I wish I had never seen it.

From the mind of Shaun Cassidy came the series American Gothic which really was one of the most innovative things on TV in the mid-ninties. His series Invasion is no exception. Though somewhat inspired by Invasion of th Body Snatchers, he takes an already worn genre ie; Body Snatchers and Puppet Masters and does a great job in adding new twists. After not being handled well by the networks, much like American Gothic, the show lost ratings and was cancelled with only one season. The show has a great cast. Fine writing and is well worth your time.
This whole Mini-series was an edge-of-your-seat thrill while trying NOT to miss a segment ... or minute!... but I have to admit, the last ending episodes drifted off with not much solid feel for all the wild mystery that unfolded. The writers seemed to give up!.. but the filming, effects and acting were all beautifully rendered up!

I was mesmerized by this series when it was on television and bummed when it was cancelled. With the purchase, not only can I myself see it again and again, but I can also share it with others who missed out on seeing it the first time, when it originally aired, which includes my husband! And he loved it, too!!! I am SO happy I bought this, and thrilled that it was shipped so fast and in perfect, unopened condition! A+!
