Secret Invasion is rather what I have come to expect from US entertainment these days, that is, not a lot. Take yet another formulaic story, vaguely reminiscent of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, throw in a dash of "watch out for those Russian's" sentiment, lots of special effects, that are admittedly, well done and parachute in a reasonably well known actor or two and hope it all works. Without saying too much more, I was bored after 10 minutes and completely disinterested, after 20.Its not just the lack of originality either, its the absence of intelligent narrative and deep, meaningful, characterisations. There are some really excellent contemporary sci fi series out there too, that offer lots of inspiration. German series "Dark", for example, is amazing. "Silo" is slow burn but again, it has something to offer the hungry sci fi viewer, beyond eye candy and things that go "zap or boom". In summary, I personally found the first episode formulaic, basic and unoriginal.If you are new to this kind of action hero, sci fi mash up, you may like it but I suspect, for many veterans of the genre, it has little to offer.
