Discovered an unfamiliar sci-fi thriller from the Apple TV+ season 3 trailer - prompting a strong desire to devour the entire series straight away.
The highly-anticipated third season of Apple TV Plus's sci-fi drama, Invasion, is set to premiere on August 22. This series, known for its emotional depth and sci-fi spectacle, has garnered mixed to moderately positive critical reception and audience response.
The first two seasons, available to stream, introduced audiences to a global alien invasion, with the story unfolding in various locations such as New York, Afghanistan, Japan, Oklahoma, and the U.K. The core characters, who were previously scattered across the globe, are now uniting for the first time to confront this enhanced threat.
Season 3's trailer has elevated the stakes, revealing that the alien apex predators have evolved and become more formidable and deadly. Beyond the trailer's intense visuals and intriguing premise, Invasion stands out for weaving together deeply personal stories within a sprawling global crisis.
The first season, while underrated, earned a 48% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which is below average. However, Season 2 showed a marked improvement with a critic score rising to about 57-67%. The cast's performances, in particular, have been praised as "absolutely excellent."
Audience scores hover modestly positive but not overwhelmingly so, with Rotten Tomatoes showing approximately a 72% audience score. The show's slower pacing, as mentioned in some reviews, may contribute to its relatively modest scores.
Despite the relatively modest reception, Apple TV+’s confidence in Invasion is evident in its renewal for a third season. The upcoming season is anticipated to raise the stakes and further develop storylines based on season 2’s ending.

In summary, Invasion is regarded as a solid sci-fi drama with strong acting and expanding story depth but has yet to achieve widespread critical acclaim or massive audience enthusiasm. Its reception is improving, suggesting it may gain more recognition with upcoming seasons. Don't miss the premiere of Season 3 on August 22, with new episodes arriving every Friday thereafter.
