Following in the success of “Lost,” CBS, ABC and NBC all debuted new sci-fi dramas this season – “Threshold,” “Invasion” and “Surface,” respectively. After watching several episodes of each series, “Invasion” is the best of the bunch. It has been slow but steady, and like “Lost,” it is using our fear of the unknown to its advantage. Eddie Cibrian (Russell) was great in “Tilt” and has some serious star potential. The rest of the cast is solid – William Fichtner plays the consummate asshole as Sheriff Tom Underlay and Lisa Sheridan as Larkin is as cute as a button.
Things have really ramped up during the last two episodes. Just when you thought that the Sheriff had all the answers, he was shocked to see his wife’s dead body in Biscayne Cove. He has since decided to cover it up, but the seed is planted – even the “aliens” don’t really know what’s happening to them.
