I think the majority of the bad reviews are because the trailers give the impression that this is an action/adventure type of show. The name "Invasion" also adds to that. But in reality it's more a suspense/mystery show.
The good: the aliens are completely different (not Star Trek!). The special effects are done well - not over the top or cheesy. The story is cohesive and builds towards an unknown plot. It does a good job of portraying the unknown the characters are facing.
The bad: people are in the midst of an alien invasion and certain characters act as if nothing is going on. The main character, Annesha, makes decisions that make no sense and is capable of only one facial expression. Her family and teen drama derails the pace of the show. It's bad when you hope the main character dies. Every time she or her family is on screen, the story loses all momentum and just drags. The other characters storylines move along at a decent pace and they generally make decisions that make sense for where they are.
All in all, it's a good show and pretty well done. As in any show you do have to suspend a certain amount of disbelief - especially if you have any military experience. The soldiers all have terrible tactics and are one dimensional. It's just marketed wrong and has a terrible main character. 😂
