The Apple TV+ series "Invasion" managed to hook me quickly with its alien invasion plot told from global perspectives.
Directed by Simon Kinberg and David Weil, it cleverly presents multiple intersecting timelines from places like the US, Mexico, Morocco and Japan.
What stands out most is its fresh focus on the human stories behind the catastrophe, with nuanced characters that quickly generate identification.
Shamier Anderson, Golshifteh Farahani and Sam Neill shine in leading the international cast.
I also welcome its advanced production, with impressive aerial shots and practical effects for visitors.
Beyond the suspense, the series offers timely reflections on human nature in extreme situations. May it continue to surprise me.
Invasion certainly sets the tone for such productions on the platform. I can't wait to see what new mysteries are in store for the third season, which has been announced for this year, after 20 episodes of the first two seasons.
