Invasion Following the success of
Lost, Invasion was one of numerous
sci-fi-themed shows that debuted in the fall
of 2005. But unlike Threshold and
Surface, Invasion had the distinct
advantage of airing in ABC's slot right after
Lost, at 10 p.m. on Wednesdays. Created
and produced by Shaun Cassidy (yes, the former
teen idol who also produced American Gothic),
the series starts in a flurry with a
devastating hurricane threatening a Florida
city and a 21st-century family happens to be
in the middle of it. There's park ranger
Russell Groves (Eddie Cibrian) and his wife,
Larkin (Lisa Sheridan), who's an inquisitive
television reporter. Living with them is
Larkin's no-account brother, Dave (Tyler
Labine), who blogs about conspiracy theories
and aliens while between jobs. Also living
with them some of the time are Russell's kids,
Rose (Ariel Gade) and Jesse (Evan Peters), who
also spend time with their mother, doctor
Mariel Underlay (Kari Matchett), who has also
remarried, to the town's sinister sheriff, Tom
(William Fichtner). Tom also has a child from
a previous marriage, sexy teen Kira (Alexis
Dziena). |
