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

5 out of 5 stars "Invasion" is excellent   November 21, 2008
Greg Alfsen (Lakeland, Florida)
"Invasion" is a 22 episode TV series that ended with a cliff hanger. I truly enjoyed each episode and found myself wanting more. Even though the series ended after one season it was worth watching - excellent scifi. Very attractive packaging and included some features. "Invasion" had so much to offer... what a loss to the scifi community.

Rebecca A. Dobry (Greeneville, TN USA)
I couldn't have been more pleased with the condition of this item. It looks brand new & arrived in no time at all. How wonderful to have such consientious people out there selling their used items. Thank you.


5 out of 5 stars Why was this cancelled?   September 30, 2008
Mark Engels (Long Island, New York)
This show was so well written I have no idea why it was cancelled. One of the greatest series created next to LOST, 24, Prison Break and SURFACE. I was left totally wanting more. I hate that there are no answers to these questions, but still worth the watch. This show wasn't given it's chance to really shine. Replaced by bullsh@#t reality shows, by cheap networks that couldn't spread the cash to put out something worth watching! The writers strike is over, so lets see some well written shows! Bring back Invasion!


5 out of 5 stars SAVE THIS SERIES! DEMAND MORE SEASONS!   July 7, 2008

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!

5 out of 5 stars 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.
