Better blast David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” as you read this review to get the full experience of watching the streamer’s second crack at this series.
This review was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the series being covered here wouldn't exist.On television, there are plenty of shows that cling to the past and attempt to recreate what already resonated before. While rather regressive, this common next step is a fairly safe way to please the audience you already have rather than challenge them with where you take them next.
After last season explored the initial stages of an alien invasion, Season 2 picks up months later with the world now consumed by it. Following the misguided attempt to launch a nuclear attack against the extraterrestrials which only resulted in a false sense of security that was quickly dashed, we are now months into the fallout.
One could generously say this is meant to play as some sort of commentary to express how stratified the world is, with the harm falling on the most vulnerable, though it could have been executed far more smoothly. This becomes especially true when the season tries to inject some humor, including a throwaway joke about The Exorcist that feels particularly off considering how bleak that film is and how this story often tempers the similar darkness that it could have more fully immersed itself in.
'Invasion' Season 2 Starts Down a New Path What makes up for this and becomes the redemptive heart of the story is everything taking place with Mitsuki. After losing the love of her life, it seems that she has gained some sort of connection to the aliens. The more we peer into this world beyond, which opens the door to some of the most spellbinding visual sequences in the series, the greater the impact it has.
In many regards, Invasion is increasingly interested in exploring ideas similar in nature to the achievement of a film that is Arrival, especially in terms of seeking truth amidst the potential annihilation of everything we hold dear, but without the same focus in order to be as successful just yet. Still, that potential is there — the series finally isn't just spinning its wheels and is starting to get somewhere.
