This is different on a different network. I saw the first episode for free. It was intense.

So, why does this use the title of the book and all of the adaptations when it appears to be its own thing? A better title might have been Postapocalypse the Series: Aliens, not Zombies, This Time.
Seems weird that they would make 2 different shows around the same time about the same thing with the same name. This one looks pretty good, hopefully the BBC one will make it to netflix so I can check it out.
The BBC version did make a few too many changes. It's still worth a watch, but if you're familiar with the novel then you might be a bit put off by the ending.

HG Wells' works are in the public domain so, like Lovecraft, anyone can use his material without paying an estate or whatnot.
Why they're doing it AGAIN is anyone's guess.
