Typical BBC drama. Utterly unbelievable in every aspect. It feels like another episode of Poldark, mainly because of EVERYTHING.
Then you come to the brief moments that deal with the alien invasion. They are Dr Who. Cheesy effects, stupid concepts of space travel, such as arriving overnight from Mars despite it being 250 million miles away.
Just rubbish.
Poor in imagination ad realisation and, worse than this, it was all about the BBC's political agenda (surprise, surprise).
The astronomer, played by Robert Carlyle, is gay.
The main story used to be about Martians invading earth but now is about social attitudes to divorce and adultery. There's even reference to non-acceptance of different culture.
In addition to this is the fact that it is scheidt.
