Editor's Note
This ABC show quickly established itself as an intriguing sci-fi thriller with a unique twist. Set in Florida, the show begins with a terrifying storm threatening the inhabitants of a small town. After the weather passes, U.S. Park Ranger Russell Varon (Eddie Cibrian) tries to pick up the pieces, but also gets some startling revelations from his daughter who believes that she has seen some mysterious lights hovering by the water as the storm raged. At first, no one pays her any attention. But then the post-storm events take some very strange turns, and Veron is forced to listen to his daughter and to begin investigating some of the eerie occurrences that beset the town. Similar in feel to the various INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS movies, INVASION is packed full of mystery and suspense. The entire first season is collected here.

4 stars out of 5 -- "[The] unfolding mystery gains in intensity and complexity, building to a cliffhanging season finale that sadly will never be resolved." 10/01/2006 p.102The Wild Things of God 7 of 10
"Invasion" feels different from any other show I've ever seen on television, and it's sci-fi element seems much more than a mere "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" remake, although that's part of it. Yet these "snatchers" don't seem to be very aggressive. Mariel feels she's changing, but subtly. No one suffers a sudden personality displacement. Even the horny kid had the same characteristics before, but he was a little less aggressive then.
