well the only good thing about this series is the bad monsters. Their mouth apparatus is strange to say the least. Other wise it is just true video game smash, kill, smash

I didn't really like 2x5, but totally enjoyed watching 2x6!
The attack on the alien ship in the beginning felt like a video game and reminded me of what (little) I know of the Halo game. The fighting and the extreme-close-up shots pulled me right into the action.
Nice! :)

Wonder if the season will recover, but - well, season 3 is very probable, so hope is still there :)
I can't put the finger on what went wrong with writing/directing so far... any ideas?
They have made the world/setting grey, both sides has pros and cons, there is no good or evil, just characters making decision because of and that leaves fairly few angles. This has happened in most shows since the 00s while more and more content is being produced and it's getting very repetitious.
It's not so much that you can't make a good show using a formula like this, you can but when most shows do it you're not really getting anything new out of em, it's just the same old. You have to focus more on the action, the effects, grand views etc.

oh I rather liked eps 3 - with all the walls closing in on the human world and also "Chief"
ep04... walls ... closed :| :o :|
sadly yet another rather mediocre ep - not good - not bad
lots of action, possibly good action, but was the amount necessary? And normally i get hooked by good action and good doomsday dramaturgy - i was definitely hooked in S1, rather strong actually! But here? Almost nothing :o

Season 2 episode 03 was terrible, I hope it gets better in ep 04, if not, I'm not going to bother with ep 05 and on.
I need my scifi fix. I'm tired of re-watching old stuff.
I want sci-fi action and suspense, not this namby-pamby shit.
The current stock of writers, producers and decision makers in Hollywood need to go do something else, mostly everything in tv/film after 2016 or thereabouts is dogshit, with a few exceptions.

I've enjoyed lots of shows that came out after 2016, and while this show isn't perfect, I enjoy it enough to continue watching. :)

I just finished season 1 and atleast you are given lots and lots of monsters/aliens. You get your monies worth, unlike those other recent scifi shows "Invasion" and "Monarch:legacy of monster show" which by comparison come across as cheapo skinflint shows on low budgets. I just hope we eventually are told what the ring is ( unlike Stargate Universe where we are never told what the deep secret embedded in the universe the ship was designed to investigate)

... so i re-watched S01 and find it still amazing, in my personal rating its a 4.5?
But now i started S02 and the first two episodes play in an entire different league ... its barely a 3.5?, E01 was more of a 3?...
Script, logic, drama, dialogues ... all seemed scrambled down into uneventful and somewhat annoying viewing experience, well i hope it gets better!
So far really disappointing... had extreme potential - i wonder what changed!?
