Mixed bag here. Typical apocalypse/zombie type setup that we join right at the start when people are escaping. The premise is a decent enough one. Each episode takes the form of different perspectives, from different sets of people and how they are coping with the unfolding catastrophe. However, the acting in some places is bloomin' shocking. I mean, REALLY bad. I'd assume this is down to the director rather than the actors themselves as they aren't newbies. The script is also a bit rubbish in places. One example is after realising that noise attracts them (you only just realise after 6 weeks?) then would you make noise on a symphony drum set? Lol. Not kidding. There's a lot of useless running and making really poor decisions that you expect from a school play not a beflix series. Give it a go. just don't expect Oscar winners

Affleck is a good actor but this is a dull uninspiring film that left me wondering why I'd bothered to sit through the whole thing. Half a story. I didn't really care about the main protagonist, even though I really tried. Disappointing. Clichéd.

Hard to watch documentary about Michael Jackson and two boys. Let's be honest, what grown man wants to sleep in bed with a string of 7-10yo boys? Wake up and smell the truth. He made great music and was an icon. However....

Cringy stereotypes - black kid has gold chains and dances around, the white kid is a nerd, the Asian girl is sassy and doesn't speak much...and when she does, everyone is amazed became they didn't think she spoke English. Blimey. This film doesn't know what it is or its target audience. The story is good enough but you never care about any characters so it all becomes pointless very quickly. In fact, you're cheering for the aliens to eat them. It's meant to cash in on stranger things and films like Goonies. It fails on every level. Watch the Goonies again instead. It's a bit moronic and worth skipping.

7/10 Very watchable sci fi show with some good action and solid acting. There are some eyesore characters like Selma Blair but other than that, engaging storylines, fast paced episodes and nice characterisations. One of the better Netflix series and I'm not sure where the low review scores come from. It's not bad at all and I've watched some right rubbish

Go in with low expectations and you may make it through to the end. The director has spoiled this film by making scenes feel solely about the visual aesthetic rather than making them believable. I want to lose myself in a film, not think, "what a consistent colour scheme through the alien invasioy sequences." The acting isn't B movie but probably C movie. The kids are annoying and you frequently wish they'd just be left under a table/in a lift shaft/hiding in a car. Could have been awesome but it was killed by the director.

Zero chemistry between the leads makes this film cringy to watch. Don't be fooled by the big names. Give it a wide birth and read the book if the story interests you

This is not an alien invasion film, hence why many may have been disappointed. This is a film about politics, ethics, espionage, subversion and what happens when the resistance meets a force that resists. Well acted by most it's a gripping story about how one person can make a difference and the sacrifices we must make.

Dreary poncy waste of two hours of your life.
