Watch season one and then stop; this way the show wont be tarnished in your mind by the abhorent mess that is season 2.
Please explain me HOW do you like that show ? I find it very bad, a bad acting game, bad jokes and a null and boring scenario ! DON'T WATCH IT !
Amazing show. Already One of my favorite ever .
Omg I loved the comic books! This will be awesome! Alan Tudyk and my favorite comic books!? Wow!
Almost passed this one by until I realized it starred Alan Tudyk, who, is a gem as the alien on a mission who gets stranded amongst his erstwhile subjects, (or possible victims...., spoilers Sweetie) and has to adapt and fit in while he tries to complete his task. I Almost turned it off when Corey Reynolds, as one of the few, if only extra melanin possessing folks amidst gallons of Buttermilk insisted in playing the "Big (bad) Black" card every time he opened his mouth. Maybe take a cue from your former Boss Brenda Leigh Johnson, turn up the country charm (but PLEASE turn off the awful "hick" accent) and don't come in so hot that you offend everyone but yourself. But, I overlook his series sins and was rewarded with a very enjoyable pilot.
I agree with @J_345 in that the Sci Fi Channel is NEVER to be trusted with having good judgement as to what it's viewers like, and what is a series worth keeping around. They have cancelled TOO MANY of my favorites to list, often to be replaced by wrestling or re-runs., so, I will watch this with cautious optimism in the hopes we get through at least a full, if not multiple seasons, and, aren't simply left hanging with no explanation.
One of the few shows that genuinely makes me laugh out loud - Alan Tudyk is hilarious.
Hope this doesn't get cancelled like People of Earth did!
Just finished watching season 1. A few points to bring up first.
1. Alan Tudyk is outstanding in this role
2. Every episode made me Laugh Out Loud several times in each episode, not just giggle
3. If you like off beat dark comedy - Watch This Show
Out the gate I have to say this is the funniest shows I've watched in years. Only Big Bang drew out belly laughs similar to Resident Alien. And Alan knocked it out the park in his delivery. Every character in the show has a story it isn't only about the alien. There's quite a bit happening in the show and I also appreciated the show having a Native American focus too. A nice touch considering we're focusing on Colorado rural area. I didn't see it just as a push for woke.
Big Black is a great addition and the deputy.
There are some fun surprises and seriously Resident Alien had me bursting out laughing many times mainly because I like dry wit, dark comedy, and plays on words. Last year sucked in so many ways. Resident Alien breaks those shackles, shows some amazing footage of Colorado, puts a smile back on faces and who doesn't need to exercise those smiling muscles and lungs again. WATCH THIS SHOW.
This is just a grown up version of invader zim. I just wish there was a GIR in this lol
Dark and funny. It’s so good. No sociopolitical commentary. Just good old gallows humor. Alan Tudyk is perfect. One of my favorite shows right now.
P.S. The grays suck.
It's a goofy, light-hearted show with a lukewarm plot. But the characters and the humor make it worth it.
As if Resident Alien show can't be any better, better acted, or more charming (It's like Northern Exposure but with an alien instead of a Moose), they just featured Off You by The Breeders!
Lmao when he was looking up Douchebag.Man this show is good so far which is always a bad thing because they tend to cancel stuff that’s good to keep the stupid shows on air. All we can do is cross our fingers.
This show started out being funny and different with Alan Tudyk being awesome as usual. Half way through season 2 and I'll stop watching this forever. The show turned into a man bashing show forgetting its about aliens. Really weird and not funny with the focus on the show being one that is not interesting, or different in this day and age. Unfortunately I'll be stopping this show for now unless I hear it go back to alien out of his world and humour.
Season one is good, it gives us something different and fresh, the shame is that it soon devolves in to rubbish same old story plots as soon as season two hits us….
Great stuff. Unfortunately goes downhill from crevice fall scene
Started as a very good situation comedy, but later they could not handle the addition of the drama, so it becomes pretty predictable and we get "good guys win with the power of friendship" type of S1 ending
Still gets a should not miss level grade, because of several jokes in the start of the season that really got me.
Maybe I will check out the source material.
Funny...as...hell!
Which is probably why Syfy will cancel it.
Lots of laughs. So refreshingly funny.
"Don’t tell me you’re leaving?"
"OK, I won’t." Then just keep going.
Can’t wait to use that line myself.
Fine, entertaining. Tudyk is doing a nice job here.
I liked this show for it's unique storyline and the lead actor (who is great is almost anything). It got a bit hum-drum and predictable by the second season but is still an entertaining show to sort of half watch while you do other stuff.
Great show.. it's quirky, funny and clever. Hope they don't cancel it for a while. 9/10
I had a lot of laughs from the Pilot. This show looks very promising.
wow. this one is well worth your time.
will there be a season 3?
I love this series is different and black humor.
Excellent so far and great humor. No foul language or nudity.
Nice and etntertaining comedy, good allround acting. One off the gems from the USA where comedy normaly is non offense and on the "woke" leash. But thats my taste.. I like rough, non conventional, 50 shades of dark humor.
When I saw the initial trailer, I thought this was going to be far too "silly" for my taste.
I was wrong. It's quirky and a bit silly, but it's actually a rather enjoyable show.
Alan Tudyk always seems to impress me with his performances. I've liked him as an actor since my first watch-through of Firefly.
If you're looking for something light, but not void of story: Give this a go.
Elements of: Sci-Fi, Comedy, mild Horror.
Shows with a similar vibe: (A town called) Eureka, The Librarians, Stargate SG1 (at times.)
After 2 seasons I just realized that D'Arcy is inspired by Molly Bloom, I recommend watching the movie Molly's Game and you will see
Season One is good, then they start shoving their social agenda down the audience's throat. I quit the show somewhere in season 3. Sad. Alan Tudyk deserves better
First season was great, original, clever, funny... stop watching after that. It devolves into an unfunny parody of itself.
Man, this show is great. But when I finally recognised the voice of the octopus (42), that made my day!
S03e04 funniest episode so far
The best part of the show is Tudyk's ability to convey the awkwardness, curiosity, and genuine alien nature of Harry is a testament to his remarkable talent as an actor. He fully embraces the quirks and idiosyncrasies of the character, bringing him to life in a way that feels both comical and surprisingly endearing.
The supporting characters did not receive much in terms of character development. They often served as mere plot devices to move the story forward or provide comic relief, with their own backgrounds and motivations largely unexplored. This lack of depth made it difficult to invest in their stories or care about their fates.
The plot of "Resident Alien" also suffered from pacing issues and a lack of meaningful progression. It felt as though the series meandered aimlessly at times, with subplots that failed to connect or pay off in a satisfying way. This lack of cohesion left the audience wondering where the show was heading and whether there was a larger narrative at play.
Resident Alien is a prime example of a promising concept that was let down by lackluster writing. While the show has its moments of humor and charm, it ultimately falls short of its potential, leaving viewers longing for a more thoughtful and engaging exploration of its central premise. If you're a fan of science fiction and expect depth and nuance in your storytelling, you may find "Resident Alien" to be a disappointing experience.
Innappropiate live action invader zim. I want copies of the instructional posters though. Disappointing what they did w the sherriff char. I wanted him to stay a bastard. Now hes pathetic for a white woman.
Real kids in a situations they shouldnt be in/
Funny and serious at the same time. Brilliant. Great cast.
Woo Hoo! Looks like there will be a Season 3!!!
Tudyk does a great job as a fish out of water character. Season 1 was really good with a good balance of all the characters and story line. Season 2 on the other hand falls into the same problem will all tv shows these days, they veer off the main topic and try to add in the fake drama to pull in the real housewives type viewers. All the parts that are focused on the alien related activities work, the parts that try to add in the fake drama don't. Still one of my favorite basic cable shows!
Season one was hilarious at times,season 2 was a bit disappointing but still worth watching.
This quickly became one of my favorite shows. It's over the top at times but that just makes it more fun and they totally pull it off.
Great acting, very well cast, great characters, fun story, ironically very real. whoever came up with that Alien language was definitely not sober LMFAO!
I'm really enjoying their perspectives, twists and takes on the stories and lore already out there. I'm hooked!
they better not cancel this! they always seem to cancel the good, creative stuff with substance lately, not a fan of that trend at all.
I can’t wait for more seasons of this show to come out. If you like sci-fi and comedy, than you’ll love this show.
Resident Alien - :heart:x7
This is a lot of fun. It has a few dead spots tho. But overall very enjoyable. The best parts are the scenes between Tudyk and Max. Very funny stuff there.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
Absolutely fantastic show. 100% worth watching :smile:
Strange combination of unique story line and amoral main character. Yet oddly entertaining. Excellent writing never allows you to anticipate what kind of crazy is going to happen next.
Resident Alien takes a minute to settle into its skin, but once it does it finds fresh humor in a familiar framework and proves a perfect showcase for Alan Tudyk's singular comedic skills.
I didn't expect this show to be that funny. I love it. Already hooked.
I suspect Tudyk could do no wrong - pretty-much everything he has a leading role in is thoroughly entertaining!
Amazing show guys watch it.
This show makes me giggle so much
It's very refreshing to see Alan Tudyk in a lead role, that isn't trying to be a laugh a minute comedy or a die-hard sci-fi. There's enough comedy from the ignorance of the alien, to the absurdity of the people that surround him. Well worth a watch.
A silly show, good distraction.
I wanted to love this. I really did! Alan Tudyk is one of my favourite actors and the perfect choice for the role. If you have not read the graphic novel you will really enjoy this series however if you are a fan of the source material you will likely not have a good time.
Adaptations of comic book series sometimes work by staying true to the source but often they need to be adapted to make it work for the screen. In this instance I believe they made the wrong choice by altering the plot too much and I feel intensely unhappy at the result.
Given the deviance between what I expected and what was made I don't think I will be a regular watcher.
Avoid the comic if you want to enjoy this well made production.

season 2 is horrible by comparison. It goes all political commentary. an absolute bore.
