I can see the BBC bosses salivating at the prospect of Invasion Earth. A US/UK co-production with state of the art graphics, a script from a rising star writer and a big movie star as part of the cast. That show those disgruntled Doctor Who fans that we can do real sci fi the Beeb executives must have muttered to themselves.
Here is a story of aliens coming through another dimension via a portal and the armed forces have no way to stop them. Every attempt to destroy them is futile. At the end the the only way to destroy the aliens is to blow up the planet which is a rather bleak prospect.
However despite the polished production the series was dull, tedious and overlong. Its story could be told in half the time instead it was stretched over six episodes as we had a slow moving story with slow moving flashbacks.
In a sense it was good that the series ended the way it did so there would be no second series.
