So for 3 hours of film, we get no more than 10 minutes of sci-fi and everything else is just stupid, boring, annoying human drama with silence and stares into nothingness. This show is not about aliens, it's about cheating husbands, lesbians, school bullies, soldiers far from home, and religious morons. It is so suitable for this network. They did the same thing with "Foundation". A good plot with a big budget, a good cast, and a big pile of rotting crap beneath all of it. It's just like an Apple product.

This is feeling like The Walking Dead. Take an interesting plot and focus so much on drama that it becomes boring. I'm all for character development but I sure hope things start to happen in the show. This is no Falling Skies nor Colony but it sure isn't The Expanse either. Jury is still out

They should have made one episode out of the first three with less family melodrama and maybe it would have been less of a snoozefest.

It just drags on and on. There are more scenes of people staring into nothingness, lying in bed or putting on their socks than of anything that moves the plot forward. Why bother claiming there is an alien invasion to support a patchwork of pointless personal stories?

Okay, I'm out. The idea of showing us an alien invasion through multiple POVs around the world is fantastic, but they clearly didn't have enough material to fill a season, because all we get are tired character moments with little tidbits of alien action. To call it a "slow burn" is to overlook just how wet and slow things are. You'll find yourself wishing the aliens would kill the main cast already because there's no reason to watch otherwise. It's too bad, because performances and cinematography are pretty good. But this show is an expensive nothingburger.
