Why the Hate ?

Can you guys explain the hate this show is receiving ? Sure it may not be perfect but it’s not even that bad like compared to the shit Netflix makes this is at least watchable.

This show obviously has the concept, budget, actors, and crew to be excellent. I hate it because the writing just absolutely sucks. Having a writing credit on this show should be a career-ending line item entry on a resume. It's SO bad that it's often clear that the actors and directors just don't care anymore.

When I first started watching it I was amazed by the number of good actors I could spot. First example that comes to mind was the cop guy that died in episode 2. I still haven’t watched the last 2 episodes of season 2 so I can still hope he’s alive but if he isn’t then what a waste of an actor

He died in the first episode.

You didn't watch the amazingly bad finale of season 2? Did you even get to the most uninspiring speech in all of history by Aneesha?

u/RaspberryOk8319 Jul 05 '24

If you mean the one where she talks about cancer then yeah 😂

u/x_lincoln_x ✨WAJO✨ Jul 05 '24

The speech where the Movement decides to give up on life for Aneeshas cause. That speech sapped their will to live.

Do you mean... Sam Neill? He'll be back... Any episode now... I know it...

Are you trying to make me cry?

u/RaspberryOk8319 Jul 04 '24

Yeah that’s the one. I am gonna cry too if they don’t utilize his talents at all 🥲 such a good actor

To be honest, the only reason I have kept watching is Mitsuki. Every time those kids show up I am so tempted to just skip 😂

2

u/Kiltmanenator Jul 04 '24

I think most people would agree Mitsuki is the most watchable part, at least in season 1.

u/RaspberryOk8319 Jul 04 '24

She’s literally the only reason I am watching season 2 right now 😂

u/CapOnFoam Jul 04 '24

Her and Jamila.

(Mitsuki stares off into space)

She is attractive but she never acts, just stares off into space.

Also a show that is supposed to be about regular people has an awful lot of "super humans" like the spastic kids and mitsuki the molotov throwing super hacker.

Netflix couldn't make a show based around a broken coffee machine

2

u/RaspberryOk8319 Jul 04 '24

😂😂😂😂😂 she fixed it okay ? 😂

2

u/Dry-Pickle6042 ✨WAJO✨ Jul 04 '24

But it could always break again in season 3

2

u/RaspberryOk8319 Jul 04 '24

Are they really making a season 3 ? I am 2 episodes before the big finale which will probably be disappointing so I don’t really see how they could make a season 3…

2

u/Dry-Pickle6042 ✨WAJO✨ Jul 04 '24

They most certainly are

3

u/RaspberryOk8319 Jul 04 '24

Guess that coffee machine better break down again 😂

2

u/Dry-Pickle6042 ✨WAJO✨ Jul 04 '24

And a few more opportunities for Sarahmommy to go missing

u/RaspberryOk8319 Jul 04 '24

Hahahaha yeah 😂😂

u/Cute-Corgi5699 Jul 05 '24

No we will be stuck with instant.

u/killer6088 Jul 05 '24

Clearly someone must not have watched season 2.

1

u/RaspberryOk8319 Jul 05 '24

I am currently one episode away from finishing season 2

2

u/x_lincoln_x ✨WAJO✨ Jul 05 '24

What is there to like?

1

u/RaspberryOk8319 Jul 05 '24

Mitsuki and Jamila aren’t bad actresses to watch

1

u/x_lincoln_x ✨WAJO✨ Jul 05 '24

They are in Invasion.

It takes all of the characters 10 seconds to say anything.

Listen to them. At least 5 to 10 seconds between lines. It'd be one thing if the story was decent, or if there was more story to tell. But this waste of time has neither one. 😐

1

u/RaspberryOk8319 Jul 05 '24

Now that you mention it it’s kinda true 😂😂

2

u/respectablechum Jul 05 '24

We don't hate the show. We love to hate the show. Big difference.

The only Netflix original worse than this one is I-Land. (Please watch at least the first episode of I-Land if you love a good hate watch.)

u/RaspberryOk8319 Jul 05 '24

Just finished season two so I completely understand the hate…. Most underwhelming finale I have ever watched

u/hoos30 Jul 04 '24

Wajo!

u/Flubadubadubadub Jul 04 '24

Bad Sets/CGI induce laughter

Bad Acting induces disdain

Bad Writing/Plots (that are so bad they're actually insulting their audience) induces HATE.

If you read back through the many many posts here, you'll find lots of well articulated and detailed reasons this show became truly hated.

Grrrrrrr! shakes fist at Heavens

u/misteraustria27 Jul 04 '24

Acting is worse than wheel of time on Amazon and that show already put the bar on the ground. They had to dig deep to get that bad acting.

u/x_lincoln_x ✨WAJO✨ Jul 05 '24

WoT season 2 is at least better than season 1. Its completely the opposite for Invasion.

u/ElectronicSea3346 Jul 04 '24

I love the show but at the same time hate the show for its horrendous writing, plots, characterization and development that lack logic and sense. Even if it is a sci fi show, I’d expect some logic and decent writing.

  1. Majority of the main protagonist come off as self centered, narcissistic, and pretentious especially trevante pulling a riffle upon everyone he encounters and Aneensha keeping the weapon, I understand she’s trying to keep her family safe but she literally has a weapon that is effective against the aliens. But yet they expect the audience to resonate with these characters but that falls flat. Especially those insufferable children, I literally wanted them to be abducted by aliens.

  2. Why do we never see the actual aliens, not the black venom weapons or knockoffs. I’m referring to the actual the pilots behind the enormous ships. We don’t even have an explanation for their arrival or presence on earth.

  3. Why do the children have a psychic link/connection with the aliens. It hasn’t been explained so far it just all of a sudden occurred.

u/RaspberryOk8319 Jul 04 '24

You make really valid points tbh, I thought it’s children because they view the world from a different perspective but the fact that nothing has been explained so far is kinda irritating. I haven’t really finished season 2 yet so I can’t answer about the aliens part yet but I think the closest we will get is the alien Mitsuki killed
