The IMDb message boards were one of the greatest features of the site. I often learned more about movies, backstories, and perceptions of plot, tone and philosophies from contributors than I did the from the site itself. I'm sorry to see them go, as they were exclusive to IMDb and not convoluted social networking sites that I have become loathe to use. I'll stay a member of IMDb but can't say that it's as special as it was, especially with the deluge of advertising, much of it overt, intrusive and really annoying - I don't care much for wading through adverts just to read a sterile page. They're doesn't seem to be much of a community here anymore. That's too bad, really.

Invasion: Home Invasion (2021)
Episode 6, Season 1
The King is Dead. Long Live the Queen.
25 December 2021 - 2 out of 7 users found this review helpful.
The traditional protagonist, the alpha-male, who embodied "Knowledge + Experience = Wisdom" was killed in the first episode. In his place, for the remainder of the series, the non-traditional protagonist, the once beta-now-alpha-female, armed with motherly instincts and medical doctorate, sans practice, but with loutish husband. Too bad the writers overt attempts to garner viewer sympathy and respect for her seem to instead foster antipathy and frustration. At least the Sheriff had a quick death - he was killed outright when struck in the head by a malevolent alien. The audience? Not so lucky. We continue to be bashed over the head by producers who tout yet exploit empowerment.
