I love that it is concentrating more on the human reaction than the actual aliens and the frontline invasion. "Some might find it boring due to the lack of action, but for me it is a refreshing take on an old theme. If you want to see aliens being carved up by lasers, then this won't be your cup of tea. But the very real reactions. "And chaos that would most probably ensue after the event is very well played out. I did find some of the characters' choices questionable throughout. But who knows how you'd react in such a situation." A fan shared their thoughts on IMBd, stating: "I love that it is concentrating more on the human reaction than the actual aliens and the frontline invasion.

It's a post-apocalyptic alien series with heart. Another viewer commented: "It's a slow but a really interesting sci-fi movie. After the 6th episode I'm really waiting for the next one. But if you are looking for sci-fi like Battle Los Angeles or Edge of Tomorrow (anyway they were also great, but different) it's not this." They went on: "Here the people with the negative reviews are waiting for an action movie, because they think every sci fi has to be an action movie as you will see when you read them. But not every sci fi is an action movie. Article continues below "At least the best ones are not. There is solaris, there is space odyssey ect… give a shot. It's a good one."
