Good series

I think this is an enjoyable series. I remember seeing it for the first time when I was growing up in the 70s.

Roy Thinnes is very good as architect David Vincent. He is desperate to show the world that aliens are trying to take over and is very good at conveying this desperation. He knows that it is difficult to trust anybody which can, at times, make his character appear cold and unfriendly. However, given the difficulty of his position this is understandable.

There are times when the invaders do appear a bit incompetent however and could have killed Vincent on a number of occasions but this doesn't spoil the series. It is enjoyable to see how Vincent manages to survive.

There were a number of stars who appeared in episodes including Gene Hackman, Jack Lord and Barbara Hershey.

The music is good too. It adds to the tension and eeriness.

Overall an enjoyable series with tension, action and excitement as well as a feeling of unease about the possibility of aliens taking over the world.
