3/10
Slow and off-focus
27 January 2021
Despite the title, the mini-series seems less interested in, you know, the war of the worlds, and more interested in a man who leaves his wife and strikes up an immoral relationship with another woman. It's all about making that look tragic and beautiful. And wedged into is a character who (it is suggested) may be homosexual. So, there's all the topics that interest modern writers.

Oh, there are Martians, and a few cool and tense scenes. But there is a whole lot of staring and talking and talking and talking. Very slow-moving, and very anticlimactic.

I don't recommend it.
