Late Arrival to Apple TV+ Sci-Fi Show: Season 3 Arrival

I have a bit of a habit of falling behind on Apple TV+’s top-notch sci-fi series and then playing catch up. It happened with Silo, it happened with Severance, and yep, it even happened with MurderBot. And now, lo and behold, I find myself late to the party once again with Invasion, just as its third season kicks off in all its glory a few weeks ago. Surprisingly, this show has stirred up quite the storm of mixed reactions – with scores that swing wildly and audience reviews that are all over the map. But here in the UK, Invasion has claimed the top spot on the Apple TV+ streaming chart.

Being behind schedule might not always be a bad thing, though. With three whole seasons to binge through, I’ve got plenty of catching up to do. Though, after watching that revealing trailer for season 3 up above, I’m starting to wonder if I even need to go back and watch the first two seasons! Warning: that trailer is loaded with spoilers, so proceed with caution. In a nutshell, Invasion is a classic alien-invasion tale, with a twist. Picture Earth under threat from extraterrestrial visitors who have touched down on our home turf. Getting War of the Worlds vibes? That’s the vibe Invasion is giving off.

But what sets this show apart is the way the story unfolds. Rather than focusing on the big picture, Invasion brings it down to earth (literally), following the lives of five regular people who find themselves thrust into the midst of this interstellar crisis. Through their eyes, we witness the invasion play out in all its glory, step by step. Will humanity come together as one to face this monumental threat head-on? Stick around to find out.
