Description

An alien on a mission to Earth crash lands and finds himself in the remote mountain town of Patience, Colorado. After assuming human form and taking the identity of a doctor, Harry Vanderspeigle, the alien works in Patience's clinic, struggling to blend in with the humans and understand their baffling traditions and emotions, all while trying to complete his mission. But to do that, Harry will have to outwit the one child in town who can see through his disguise and outrun the secret government agents hunting for him.

Generally enjoyable show, mostly decent acting, entertaining. Nosedives when it goes into current identity politics, feminism and native peoples issues. Not because those are necessarily bad issues to delve into, but because they never support the story, it’s always just added in, not helping the story but writers needing to signal wokeness.
Midway into season two it went from an annoyance to just plain dumb, wife and I are done.

What a breath of fresh air

Very few shows are able to make me literally laugh out loud. This one is funny & charming. He should get an award for his range. Also the writers are on point!

I truly loved this show, fresh idea, amazing characters, funny and full of suspense.
It’s hard to find shows like this where the writers are trying a little bit to create something new.

BEST !!!

Not overly SciFi. Lead actor does a job at playing a clueless yet quick learning alien.

I can’t remember the last time I watched a show where my wife and I were laughing out loud during a tv show, definitely the number one show we look forward to every week.

So happy to have found this, it's very funny and Alan Tudyk is great, as always. Now I'm just hoping syfy doesn't cancel it...

Funny,weird,twisted and interesting. Anyone who has lived in a small town knows tons of people like this-even the Alien. This is the best show SyFy has had in years-I’m sure they’ll cancel it sometime in Season 2 and replace it with Ghost Hunters or Wrestling. Until then...enjoy the ride Earthlings!

Finally a SciFi tv show which is right on the spot, perfect combo of SciFi, drama, thriller and...a little bit of comedy. Nicely done.

Loved some sci-fi shows like haven, eureka, and serious serenity fan, love Tudyk, what could go wrong?
Watched 3 episodes so far and ...... nothing. Finding it incredibly boring. Totally not working for me, so far.

Great

Alan Tudyk is always brilliant. Alan Tudyk as a narcissistic genocidal alien at war with a small child... favorite show out there right now.

Such a great show!

I’m not a person that leaves reviews but in this case it’s deserved! I have two high school boys at home and this is the first show, in a while, that they will sit and watch with me.
The characters in this show are colorful and likable. The actor that plays the alien literally looks, at times, like an alien wearing a human skin suit. His facial expressions as he navigates the complexities of human emotions, culture, & life are truly amazing and funny. The alien is so “superior” to everyone except the boy he’s trying to kill. This little boy constantly gets the better of him and those situations are some of the best most creative parts of the show.
Also a shout out to “Big Black” the town sheriff with the big black truck😂. I really enjoy his character’s dominant personality and confidence as he leads the murder investigation.
I hope the writers are able to continue with the high bar they have set for themselves in the first 3 episodes. This show is Great!!!

Love it‼️

I just wrapped up episode 3 and it’s been great. I love a good Sci-Fi with humor. This show really helps fill the void while I wait on the 3rd season of Orville to be released.

Pure Genius!

It felt like there were no gems like this before. Resident Alien isn't the low grade B-show we all expect from syfy either & Im loving it! I was never one for crime shows but this places an oddly dark comedic spin on things. It also contains heartfelt & awkward moments we can all relate to-human or alien. Actors A+!

Disappointing

I like the main actor. But even that could not compel me to finish the pilot. Just lame.

This is the show that the world needs right now! It doesn’t take itself seriously and it is a funny, wild ride that will blow this world’s mind! Alan Tudyk was born to play this role, he is absolutely perfect! After seeing just the first two episodes I’m already ready to give it the title of favorite currently running show (and that’s a lot coming from me seeing that I’m a huge Marvel fan and WandaVision is currently going)! This is going to be one of those shows that will stand the test of time as the standard of care for sci-if dramedies! I really hope that SYFY does this one right (unlike they did with Krypton) and let’s the fans continue to enjoy it for years to come!

Very Enjoyable!

So great to see a show that delivers what you paid for... entertainment. Warm hearted mixed with dark comedy on a DarkHorse Comics storyline without heavy-handed agenda driven politics. Who would’ve thought it could happen in 2021? Thanks to the TV gods - hahaha. You want to get a message out TV land? Please take pause and just write a book then I’ll decide if I want it yammering into my head for $10.99, okay? Its been worse than a born again censor brigade.

The Pilot was excellent, and if the series continues in this direction, it is going to be a top-notch show. I am very impressed with the acting, storyline, and it is a plot-driven extravaganza, so this one is a keeper for sure. Enjoy!

Love this show
