* Rated: MPAARATING (notes)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* SS___ (Two Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian)

This show's space-born intelligent alien fungi capable of reproducing through human hosts and preparing a sinister invasion of Earth wouldn't be too far out of place among many of Lovecraft's creations.

The basic premise might make a nice "Cthulhu Icarus" scenario, or work well with "Delta Green", or make an interesting addition to a campaign based on the "Quatermass" franchise.

''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''

===Reviews===

Review Links:
* [[Ywhateley|Y.Whateley]] - "To be honest, I wasn't crazy about this show: I found the first season almost engaging, but felt it really didn't work in its second season. The first season, at least, did seem to work on a vaguely Lovecraftian level. The story was in many ways similar to ''Invasion of the Body Snatchers'' meets ''Village of the Damned'', with alien fungi impregnating an astronaut as the first step in unleashing their formless, mind-controlling psychic hybrid children onto the Earth. (If the first season could be compared to Village of the Damned, then the second season could be compared to the sequel Children of the Damned, with both the second season and the similar sequel failing to engage me as completely as the originals for similar reasons - namely, in that the second season and sequel lost some of the creepiness and weirdness of what came before, while suffering from being slightly preachy and talky. Of course, your mileage may vary....)"

+* [[Ywhateley|Y.Whateley]] - "A sort of throwback to 1950s alien invasion stories, but with a cyberpunk near-future setting. That might normally be a winning combination for me, but, to my surprise, I wasn't crazy about this show:  I found the first season almost engaging, but felt it really didn't work for me by its second season.  The first season, at least, did seem to work on a vaguely Lovecraftian level:  the story was in many ways similar to ''Invasion of the Body Snatchers'' meets ''Village of the Damned'' by way of ''Quatermass'', with alien fungi impregnating an astronaut as the first step in unleashing their formless, mind-controlling psychic hybrid children onto the Earth.
