@Superior: as for me, it's very weak. Motivation is generally unclear. Everyone knows, but not the location of the object. And about the desire of the main character, it also turned out to be some kind of heresy.
@Лангольер: yes, he spent the whole series trolling, and at the end, when you expect a breakdown, it doesn't happen at all. Pill doesn't seem to be able to handle sudden plot twists, it's sad for Twilight.
@Graus: It's a matter of taste. The series reminded me of old alien movies where the aliens don't need much to take over the planet. Plus, Linya looked ominous with a mysterious stranger who knows about everyone. By the way, I thought that the stranger was a time traveler who came to the station before some terrible event like a massacre or something. Or maybe he would have created this event himself. The alien twist isn't the best you can come up with, but it is what it is.
Oh, Lady, what is that? Is this the Storm of the Century? Nooo. Is it 30 days of night? No, it's not. This is a boring bullshit where aliens start taking over the world from an energy booth in the ass of the world. They know everything about the residents of the local mini-town in great detail, but they have no idea where the fucking booth is located. But they heard that all you need to do is mention the evil Russians and the Americans will immediately lose their temper and mess up. Brilliant! Everyone come out of the twilight.... uh... The twilight zone!
@Actiregularis: knowledge about the inhabitants can be obtained by stupidly prolonged wiretapping + bluff with provocation - if someone is unclean, he will easily believe that others are not clean either. And the location of the hangar is classified and it is unlikely that it is constantly discussed, it was necessary to be brought to it.
there is an actor, the suspense is excellent, the atmosphere of the holiday and this section is felt very deeply - those who did not like it are probably used to having their chewed in their mouth.
I repeat the comment from the previous episode - the series was shot with an awesome swing at auteur cinema, for example, if David Lynch's name had been in the credits as a director, then the local "sobriety" and the open ending would have been praised on the contrary.
the series is in the spirit of the 80s-90s, which, in principle, they tried to achieve , the only thing that encourages them is Russophobic notes, but this is now on trend :-)
So it's not that they put the chewed stuff in their mouth, but the already digested stuff. Communicating your ideas head-on is mediocre. That's why I don't like it.
Although the ending is not very clear to me, I liked the atmosphere in the episode. Winter, mystery, and aliens are automatically associated with Fargo, and I love Fargo very much. It was interesting to watch the characters and dialogues, I didn't look away. Therefore, I cannot call the episode a complete failure. And after a little thought, I realized that the simplicity of the episode didn't really put me off. I see this as a homage to similar works about alien invaders from the 80s and 90s. If the series were a movie, then all this grotesqueness would probably be too much, but for a 50-minute episode of an anthology, it's really nothing.
In general, the theme in the series is good.: "the aggressor nation's imposition of its culture and values on an ethnic minority" — the only problem is that it was practically not disclosed because the dances seemed to be about UFOs.
When a Chinese snail told an American that the Russians were not inventing anything... I laughed for a long time, of course.. and in general, the character is very annoying..I always wanted to punch him... as it is, it's a weak series.

The normal series.
Summing up the above - I liked it!
- They steal everything.
Russian-made things are crap.
This is not a Russian phone.
How and why does this unbearable boredom come to anyone at all?

Thank you.
