Invader ZIM
Zim dreams of greatness. Unfortunately, though, he's hopelessly inept as a space invader. Desperate to be rid of the annoying Zim, his planet's leaders send him on a mission to infiltrate Earth, providing him with leftover, cobbled-together equipment. To their consternation, Zim succeeds in setting up a base on Earth and infiltrating human culture, posing as a human child as he plots the planet's downfall. Only Zim's archnemesis, Dib, recognizes that Zim is an alien, and of course, nobody believes Dib's claims.

SPOILER REVIEW
This could've honestly only been a three-day watch if I actually put dedication into watching it, but it just took me over a month because I wasn't that interested in it.
Overall my thoughts on the show are pretty good, but I feel like a lot of it's praise is a bit overblown because it has a way more dark tone compared to other Nickelodeon shows and has been looked as a black sheep in the studio's catalog and raided Hot Topic ever since. I will admit seeing pretty dark and graphic in a show that was targeted to families is pretty cool, but after a dozen or so episodes, the show stops having these really dark moments, probably because Nick didn't like how dark it could get. Like in the second episode, A kid gets his eyes popped out and of course the infamous "Dark Harvest" episode which has sense been linked to a real world crime, but I'm just say this, if you say something "inspired" you do a crime, you were gonna do it anyway, you would just be pointing the finger to the creators who had nothing to do with it. So yeah, it's main appeal of being graphicly dark wears off in the first dozen or so episodes, so what else does the have?
Well, I guess I could talk about the characters. Zim was pretty good as the titular main character. I like seeing this enjoyably over-the-top, yet incompetent little alien constantly attempting to take over the earth only fail miserably, and I even like the fact that he's hated by the Irken Empire because ruins everything. I'm kinda mixed on Dib, because he can be really unlikable and acts really selfishly, but he can be really entertaining also in good episodes. Gaz is also enjoyable, but unfortunately the shows doesn't give her a lot of time to shine. Same can be said about Professor Membrane, but barely gets any time to shine, but the moments he had were hilarious. and of course, GIR. GIR, best character in the whole show and I totally understand the hype around him. I mean it's GIR!!! He's so precio...
