Invasion (2021)

Simon Kinberg and David Weil’s sci-fi epic eschews the laser-blasting tropes of the genre for something far more unsettling: silence and confusion. Invasion treats the arrival of extraterrestrial life not as an action movie, but as a psychological pressure cooker, dispersing the narrative across continents to track how ordinary people—from a Sheriff in Oklahoma to a technician in Japan—process the collapse of their reality. The aliens here are amorphous, shifting threats that defy easy categorization, forcing humanity to adapt or perish in a world that no longer follows the rules of physics. With the finale of season 3 having aired on October 24, 2025, the series has moved beyond the initial shock of contact, deepening the mystery of the hive mind while leaving the ultimate fate of Earth’s resistance in a precarious, haunting stasis.
