The invasion is well and truly over.

There are SciFi series twenty years old that deliver more story in one episode than this insipid dribble did in twenty episodes.

Yes, since series 1 people said give it time, it's a slow burn and two series later it still is. Worse, it's not even a slow burn, it's something they seem to have made up as they went along and it shows, it really, really shows.

The end of this second series is an insult to those who stuck with it, another cliffhanger, just not one that holds you in any way on tenterhooks as a cliffhanger normally would. Why? Well, because any goodwill and interest has been smothered from the saner audience members who gave it more than a chance, only to find that the disparate wanderings of our soldier, kids, and resistance fighter family were pointless filler and their existence was merely to drag this out over a very padded 20 episodes. Pointless because this bait and switch SciFi baited us with glossy artwork and misleading trailers only to switch to a paranormal story in a large part where everything happens psychically, even teleportation.

AppleTV has really made something that's "made for TV" only it is B channel standard and dire, annoying and worst of all, a pointless waste of time. I will forever warn every Human, Parrot, Dog and Cat or any being who might sit in front of a TV to avoid this audience bait insult to the intelligence of a doorknob.
