War of the Worlds (2019)

I too expected more. The series is very slow and there is too much emphasis on (family) drama. Drama that many SF fans are not really waiting for. At the end of almost every episode you are left with just as many questions as at the beginning. What I want to know: Why are they here? Why do they want us dead? Where do they come from? Are they really extraterrestrials or are they people from the future, for example? How did they get here (there would have been some sort of signal echo seen at the edge of our solar system, but they seem to be able to get here "instantly") so no voltage there either. But unfortunately so often with this kind of series the emphasis is placed on drama and much less on the scientific and/or SF part and that's just a shame, you saw that clearly with the series "Colony". Unfortunately, as so often with SF series, that series has been canceled and we still don't know what happened on the Moon, for example, and so many more open questions. Pity.

I enjoyed watching this series. It is more than just surviving and hoping that you can find a safe haven somewhere. Because it takes place in different places with different people, it remains fascinating for me. The little bits of mystery (why the blind girl can suddenly see, why does that one boy not die now while the others fall like bushes around him?) Make it certainly worthwhile. I am definitely looking forward to a second season!
