I’m not going to waste my time writing a long review but this was the most thin and tepid disaster movie I have ever watched . I felt genuinely embarrassed for these actors . The writing was as if it had been written by an algorithm , hitting all the “ hot takes “ as if it had been assembled out of hashtags . Essentially this film is was a whole new genre “ Airbnb Disaster Dystopia with Random Meaningkess Deer “ . It was so lame

I like a nice slow steady told story , I like moody emotional situations , I like well written complicated characters , I love a gradually unfolding mystery . This show has none of those things even though it desperately wants to believe it does . I can’t believe I watched both seasons . It’s tedious , tepid , and riddled with cliches . The characters have no development arc , they all essentially play the same note through the entire thing which results in them becoming increasingly unlikable and annoying . The premise is very interesting but becomes conceited just about after episode 5 of the first season . It’s a real wasted opportunity . The aliens remain elusive to the point of being boring and the psychological impact of what a sudden alien invasion might actually do to people is barely scratched on the surface . If one was to take a shot of whisky for each time a character silently stared into the camera to fill in a minute of screen time with “ emotion “ you would end up in the hospital . I do not recommend

I’m a Huge Kim Catrall fan prior even to STC , and she deserves so much better than this train wreck of a show that will surely be cancelled after 1 season . I barely made it through the first episode , and doubt I can stomach another . Maybe I will try to see if it goes anywhere but I doubt it . Generally speaking there is absolutely nothing interesting about this show , it’s paint by numbers , pretty much like it was written by an algorithm or ChatGTP fed prompts like “ make a script about every possible cliche about Gen Z , oh and as shallow as possible with no heart . Let none of the characters resemble humans please, thanks “ . Now that’s fine if this was caricature , but it’s not . Supposedly I think we’re supposed to feel something . There’s certainly no comedy here , and definitely no emotion . The lead character Marco is painful to watch , and it’s not just the character , the actor is absolutely cringeworthy in his / their delivery . Marco gives me zero reason to care . Marco is 22 and has to get his moms permission as to what kind of job they can take ? This is weird and infantilizing . Everyone is 2 dimensional and deeply unlikable , but Marco is the worst . Make up and glamor have the potential to be fabulous and magical subjects , but Marcos objectives are pure narcissism and utterly boring . Kim Cattrall sleepwalks through the part and seems like she is regretting every moment she is on set , it’s like she knows she’s on a sinking ship , but it’s a ship she signed on to be . My heart goes out to her . Netflix needs better writers . This show could have been cute but it’s on its way to the clearance rack . Dead on arrival

There’s a lot I like about the concept , but overall the execution is crass and gruesome . It really bombards the viewer with to many layers of unnecessary violence , that finally just becomes unbearable
