How this guide is filed

Filed by Max Sterling · Streaming Confidential

The Invaders is Quinn Martin's alien-occupation nightmare in a business suit: Roy Thinnes as architect David Vincent, the only man who knows they are here, chasing disappearing corpses and crooked little fingers. It borrows The Fugitive's hunt structure and loads it with UFO dread. Two seasons of paranoid sci-fi that treat suburbia as camouflage — appointment fear, not camp saucers.
