Well, they said it about World War I and again about World War II. But this Invasion will definitely be over by Christmas. Variety report that ABC has not renewed Invasion for a second series.

I can’t say that I’m at all surprised. The concept is not bad but it just didn’t get going quickly enough. It’s all well and good saying it’s a slow burner but this was burning so slowly it was in danger of extinguishing itself. Which it has. I just don’t think they really knew what they were doing and so it didn’t really become much of anything.

I’d call it a shame but I doubt I’ll miss it, despite having watched most of it.
