Seems like a glaring plot hole


but I could be wrong, but why do the ones who got to a metal shelter and survived the magnetic force think it won’t happen again. They all emerge from their shelters and start wandering the streets, like it was the aftermath of a hurricane not an alien lethal force. The blind girl even hears some vibrations but her Mom thinks it is all in her imagination AFTER THE WAVE OCCURRED.

This seems absurd, but I am only on ep 3.

I agree with you on that. Just like how the terrorists will bomb a place, and then wait for all the Emergency Service to come to the sites, and then hit is again with another bomb, these aliens would do that. I also did not find the metal dogs that convincing of a monster. They did not have hands, and I thought it was kind of funny that they had those pneumatic hoses that drove their legs out and in the open.

A lot of the things in the plot seemed worse than stupid, but as I watched this, maybe due to the fact that there are limited things to watch these days in quarantine for COVID-19, I thought it was pretty good.
