Set in the right time for once - The War of the Worlds (2019) Discussion

The costumes are nice but that's the only thing decent about it, the story and characters are terrible, with characters acting like its 2019, I stopped watching when one of the leads started comparing the Martians invasion to British Colonialism during episode 2.

Time period is correct but it’s nothing like the book.

Oh, you stopped watching when it actually referenced H.G. Wells' entire basis for writing the book? How very cute. You do know that's what the book is about, right? It was about England getting the tables turned on it in the same way it had invaded other countries.

England killed the population of entire countries without a word while being invicible ? Even a pygmee can kill an English soldier with a sagaie. Besides, other countries were usually no angels either.

I was looking forward to this....found it utterly boring. The first episode was ok, a decent set up, but episode 2 by half an hour I was checking my phone. Seriously disappointed, I was looking forward to this for months...I should have known by it being pushed back again and again that something was wrong.

Yeah, I was looking forward to it but it is terribly boring at the moment. I like the actors so far but they are fed the most predictable lines and responses so far for the sake of drama?

I will stick with it for now in hopes that episode 3 will be better.
