Like most people, I too get attracted to shows and movies by one or more of the actors. For me, in this case, it was Daisy Edgar-Jones.

Having said that, I'm 7 episodes into Season 1 of this show and every episode so far seem to have the same writing pattern. The character development is bad. I don't feel attached to any of these characters (including the one played by Daisy Edgar-Jones). Note that I'm watching this with French subtitles. The language hasn't been a barrier.

Also this show is more Drama than Science Fiction. The presence of a Boston Robotics Bambi alien overload by itself doesn't make a story belong in the Science Fiction genre. It might have been in 1898, when H. G. Wells wrote the source material. But no longer true today. :rolling_eyes:

By episode 7 (out of an 8 episode first season), the viewers have no idea who the aliens are, let alone what their motives might be. I understand that this is the whole premise of the show. The writers are doing a piss poor job of revealing bits and pieces to make sure that the viewers keep coming back.

This show seems to have started with a half-baked idea, hoping to make stuff up as funding became available from one season to another. It's either that, or they planned it as a 3 Season show and paced the writing accordingly (the show's data here says it's 'Ended' as opposed to 'Cancelled', hence my suspicion).
