H.G. Wells' classic alien invasion story War of the Worlds is being adapted into a TV series. You would think a big epic project like this would be developed by a major cable network or streaming service, but nope... it's coming from MTV.

I don't watch any series on MTV because none of them look very good. I tried to watch their Scream series, but I just couldn't get into it. War of the Worlds has been adapted several times over the years, the most recent of which was Steven Spielberg's 2005 film, which ended up being a disappointment. I didn't care for the second half of that film.

Jeff Davis and writer Andrew Cochran, the team behind the series Teen Wolf, will be bringing it to life. But since I never cared for Teen Wolf, I'm not expecting anything special. I just imagine the War of the Worlds series will be just as mediocre.

It's hard for me to take anything MTV serious, but I'm curious how this may go, so I'll probably try an episode or three.

You should try episode 2 also, just for the heck of it, lol - I'll be passing on this because, well, just because...

In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

I'm in. MTV has been around for some time now and seem to know what sells and after viewing The Shannara Chronicles, I see now reason for this to be bad.
