Movie Reviews of Invasion - The Complete Series
Movie Review: One of the best shows to ever hit television
Summary: 5 Stars
Once in a while, if you're lucky, you find a show that you adore. And if you're really lucky, it sticks around. I guess I might only be half lucky. A few years ago, I fell in love with Firefly, a great show on FOX that lasted eleven episodes and was shown out of order. (Thankfully, Serenity was made.) Invasion is like Firefly, it's a great show that was marked badly by its network. It was a show I fell in love with.
The show is thought of as a `sci-fi' drama. But, it is so much more then that. It's a show about being different, about family, about people. More then the mystery of what exactly hybrids are, Invasion's main focus always seemed to be about the two families and how each person deals with the events and aftermath of hurricane Eve, and how it affects their relationships within the two families.
The series starts off slow, exploring different issues and bringing up several questions: What were the lights in the water? Why are some people different after Eve? What, if anything, does the military have to do with everything and what do they know? And what exactly is Sheriff Tom Underlay (William Fichtner, who gives one of his best performances) hiding? There is also the issues of Tom's wife, Dr. Mariel Underlay (played wonderfully by Kari Matchett), who is found naked in the water after Eve, and now also finds herself oddly attracted to water and not quite herself.
And that is where the show really takes off. As Mariel beings to question everything, she finds herself moving away from Tom and toward her ex-husband, Russell Varon (Eddie Cibrian), a park ranger. The two share two children, but they also share a bond. Something that doesn't always sit well with Russell's new wife, Larkin Groves (Lisa Sheridan), a local news reporter with whom Russ is expecting a third child.
Oh, and did I mention that Larkin wants to find out what the military knows? Something that often puts her (and her unborn child) in danger.
The rest of the cast is also brilliant and their characters loveable. Mariel and Russell have two children ,high-schooler Jesse (Evan Peters, who really starts to show his acting talents toward the end of the season), a shy boy whose got a crush on his stepsister. And cutie Rose (Ariel Gade), who is very insightful about her mother and the whole `is a hybrid still who they once were' issue. Rounding out the Varon-Groves family is, Larkin's older brother, Dave (Tyler Labine), a conspiracy-theory lover, who is convinced that some sort of alien force has come out of the sky in the cover of a hurricane and is plotting something big.
While, the first half of the season is slow and takes time to explore the mysteries and the shifting dynamic between the families, the second half of the season takes a much more serious and darker turn. It begins when Tom has his favorite deputy, Lewis Sirk (Nathan Baesel), take a shocking step to protect them and others like them. And continues when Tom's daughter, Kira (Alexis Dziena, who gives some lovely performances in the later episodes.) begins to wonder what happens in the water and why hasn`t it happened to her...
Things get much worse when it is revealed that Eli Szura (James Frain, who gives a wonderfully creepy performance), a man Tom has been working with in dealing with ceratin 'issues', may know more then anyone about what is really happening and that he has a plan, a plan that could put everyone in serious danger...
