    Get spin on the election and how people are acting irrational needs a next season to make fun of how politics and the right and left are somewhat extrem.

    Brilliant. Just brilliant. So sorry it wasn't picked up for a second season. It just goes to show how, when it comes to TV series, timing can be everything. I imagine that one of the knocks against it was that its premise was too outlandish. However, given what's going on in Washington at present, that accusation would no longer hold water. In fact, if a series like this were pitched today, it would probably be dismissed as being too on the nose.

    Superb TV. The production, direction, acting and presentation is simply excellent. If only all TV could be this way. I was hooked from the first show. But (oh, there's always a but), one soon realise that this is heavily evangelical piece. Supposedly a bipartisan laugh at both sides of politics, one soon realises that 99% of the baddies are on the Right and 99% of the goodies are on the Left. Endless anti-Trump jokes, (fair enough, its political humour) but not one precious syllable against the beloved Hillary – lest we take the Frau's name in vain?. Ababy kicks out violently when it hears Trump on the TV, OK that's funny, but how does it react when it hears the voice of Hillary – we will never know. There are a few naughty Democrats, but the real evil characters are all on the Right, and as thing progress, the writers abandon their veils of impartiality with enthusiasm. Of course, the hero is the Republican who realises his evil ways and betrays his party help the Democrats defeat an unjust, unnecessary and racist war. It is a pity that Amazon paid for an expensive piece of Leftist propaganda, and that the makers could not control themselves so that everyone could enjoy it.

    What a surprise this was! Initially slow to get going but after 2 episodes I had to binge the rest. Invasion of the body snatchers style plot, good to see a low key alien invasion and against the backdrop of a government in chaos makes it all the more refreshing. Good mix of politics and the actual invasion, worked so well. This show would work even if it focused on just the politics or the aliens since the writing is excellent and the whole cast are great to watch with interesting back stories and such.Really hoping to see more of this, great having original shows such as BrainDead, even their 'previously on' section is awesome by doing it as a little song that changes each time. Must watch for anyone intrigued by the title and general premise, can't see it disappointing.
