I finished the complete series of "Invasion" a couple of days ago. I absolutely loved it! Invasion is a compelling, suspenseful, and unique take on Invasion of the Body Snatchers filled with shocking twists and turns.

The show created by Shaun Cassidy tells a insane story about blended famlies, the extraterrestrial, morality, and coming of age with a bit of light wit, interesting flawed characters, and a good amount of heart.

William Fichtner leads an excellent ensemble cast that includes Eddie Cibrian, Kari Matchett, Lisa Sheridan, Tyler Labine, Evan Peters, Alexis Dziena, Ariel Gade, Nathan Baesel, and Aisha Hinds.

Everything was masterfully done down to the direction, writing, score, cinematography, editing, effects, costume design, set decoration, art direction, and production design. Invasion is a thrilling, somewhat creepy, and always gripping sci-fi gem that I would highly recommend. I definitely wish there was more seasons.
